You appear to be deliberately misreading your prooftext.
Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one. For even if there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords, yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.
The Father and Son are paired together while talking about one thing. The Father is the love for whom all things were created and the Son that is the means for creation. This redundancy is found throughout the bible. For example...I am the Lord your God who 1)brought you out of Egypt 2) out of the house of bondage. Egypt is the house of bondage. Many other such double references occur but I don't have time right now to research them for you.
