  Yahweh, Beelzebub, and the birth of Satan

  by srd in

  ot theology dictates that yahweh is sovereign.

  this means that he is the creator of good and evil, distributer of health and illnesses, etc.

  only later does the idea of a separate "eveil" agent emmerge.

  Did Yahweh reveal himself to Moses in Midian or Egypt?

  the later priestly authors must have been uncomfortable with moses midianite connections, and what that impliedi.e., that yahweh came from midian!

  so what did the later priestly writers do?

  they rewrote the tradition; they rewrote "history," and expunged moses' midian sojourn and midian wife from history!

  just posted the last 2, which once again highlight the fact that later writers, compelled by differing historical circumstances, rewrote the "historical" narratives that they themselves inherited.

  an even later editor then stitched together these two narratives to form the bible as it now stands.. thursday, we now move on to the book of exodus!

  The authors of these texts knew nothing of the "universe" or life elsewhere. The idea itself would have been foreign to them.

  Nice. I'd like to eventually do a book project on this "claim." The Bible's contradictions would be just one small piece of the textual data that clearly demonstrates that these texts were/are not the word of god! Additionally, in the context of the ancient Near East, many texts were presented and authorized as the "word of god" -- hell hieroglyphs were the language/word of god. Thus the Bible's texts must a,lso be viewed in this historical andliterary context. Third, the claim that the Bible is the word of god can only be made in the interpretive tradition AFTER the Bibe was made, i.e., 1 c. BC at the earliest. ....

  Is God's Name Yahweh or Jehovah?

  http://www.catholic.com/quickquestions/is-gods-name-yahweh-or-jehovah.

  subject title refers to the link that i found in another thread, somewhat buried in text, but i thought it deserved to be highlighted.

  take the time to read it if you can and just sit and think about it for a second, think about all of the hate and disgust jw's have for the cc and just let that truth settle in.. amazing really.

  A god was named Yahweh. Although we're not 100% sure how it was pronounced, Jehovah is certainly the misguided and wrong pronunciation established in the Medieval period when one tries to pronounce the Tetragrammaton, THWH, with the massoretic vowels underneath which properly belong to the word adonai, 'lord.'

  Whether El Shaddai and Yahweh were the same or different deities, check this interesting post out http://contradictionsinthebible.com/are-yahweh-and-el-the-same-god/
