Adam:  In fact I have come out of all my beliefs and now on rational position of understanding these ancient religious texts.

And how are we to determine the validity of your claim that you are being “rational” and actually “understanding” ancient texts?  You continually post very long writings that offer no actual proof of their claims, and t…[Read more]

Hi Mike

Gene: This debate is ……Did this earth and the heavens exist “before” the first day of Gods present creation take place?

I say, the  “key” word is the word (WAS) . In verse 2,  I say that word strongly indicates it did preexist “before” the Six day creation took place…

The word “WAS” is the most common, most obvious, and default past tense…[Read more]

The Origin of Yahweh’s worship in Israel

Concerning the origin of the religion of Yahweh the Old Testament contains two widely divergent traditions. The Judean Document of the Hexateuch (J), which is characterized by a constant use of the divine name “Yahweh (Jehovah),” states in Gen. 4: 26 that the cult of this god was introduced by Enosh,

Adam……, I believe the word God upper or god lower case , simple describe a personel relationship and can only be used to describe a personal relationship with someone or thing.  Anything can be or become a God , if it fits what the word,  God,  means.  I believe scriptures describe it as a (uni-plural) word.

Donald Trump: ‘The world is going to be blown to pieces’

Hi Mike,

So there you have it.  Both are acceptable, and both are used by millions of people today, just as both were used at various times in the Bible

You: Therefore there is no need to address your novel of scriptural examples which has no bearing on my point anyway.

El and Elohim

The Hebrew common nouns for god – ’eˉl and ’ĕloˉ hîm – and their multivocality. In Hebrew as in Ugaritic, ’eˉl (ı̉l in Ugaritic) is a label for the genus “god,” often functioning in the singular or plural as a common noun or a title (e.g., Exod. 15:2, 11; 34:6, 14). In Ugaritic, El is also the name or title of the  Ugaritic high g…[Read more]

Southern Origins of Yahweh

The name “God,” “El” in Hebrew, also belongs to this Northwest Semitic literary tradition. In Ugaritic texts, the god El is creator, king, and father. “El” is one of the ways Israel addressed and understood God from an early period (Deut 33:26; Ps 68:36). Even the name “Israel,” found first in the 13th-century Me…[Read more]

Hi Adam,

These liberal scholars that speak contrary to the Bible are wrong.
The Bible is our source for all truth even history.
Why are you spreading these false articles, anyway?
I wonder if you do this intentionally or not?
Because think this through.
If you reject Yahweh as El Elyon then there is no hope.
You need Him and His Son Jesus…[Read more]
