Idol is nothing; only one God and Lord

Idol is nothing; only one God and Lord (1 Corinthians 8:4-7, Only one God and one LORD to us as believers (vs 6).

1 Corinthians 8:2-8
[2]Those who think they know something really don’t know as they ought to know.
[3]But the person who loves God is known by him.
[4]So then, about eating the food offered to idols: we know that an idol stands for something that does not really exist; we know that there is only the one God.
[5]Even if there are so-called “gods”, whether in heaven or on earth, and even though there are many of these “gods” and “lords”,
[6]yet there is for us only one God, the Father, who is the Creator of all things and for whom we live; and there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created and through whom we live.
[7]But not everyone knows this truth. Some people have been so used to idols that to this day when they eat such food they still think of it as food that belongs to an idol; their conscience is weak, and they feel they are defiled by the food.
[8]Food, however, will not improve our relations with God; we shall not lose anything if we do not eat, nor shall we gain anything if we do eat.
