What is all the Bible about?

who is Yahweh?

thanks.
- That's the Hebrew name God wants to be called meaning the God of the promise or of the promises!

- If you look at the verses in Biblehub, when it is said the Lord they put Yah.weh in parenthesis!

- But the majority of the translations have erased it completely!

- What a shame!

You are correct.

But since trins are triune God believers, their god is a false god.

How Ancient Trinitarian Gods Influenced Adoption of the Trinity​

Many who believe in the Trinity are surprised, perhaps shocked, to learn that the idea of divine beings existing as trinities or triads long predated Christianity. Yet, as we will see, the evidence is abundantly documented.​


Marie Sinclair, Countess of Caithness, in her 1876 book Old Truths in a New Light, states: "It is generally, although erroneously, supposed that the doctrine of the Trinity is of Christian origin. Nearly every nation of antiquity possessed a similar doctrine. [The early Catholic theologian] St. Jerome testifies unequivocally, 'All the ancient nations believed in the Trinity'" (p. 382).


Notice how the following quotes document belief in a divine trinity in many regions and religions of the ancient world.

Sumeria​


"The universe was divided into three regions each of which became the domain of a god. Anu's share was the sky. The earth was given to Enlil. Ea became the ruler of the waters. Together they constituted the triad of the Great Gods" (The Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology, 1994, pp. 54-55)

Babylonia​


"The ancient Babylonians recognised the doctrine of a trinity, or three persons in one god—as appears from a composite god with three heads forming part of their mythology, and the use of the equilateral triangle, also, as an emblem of such trinity in unity" (Thomas Dennis Rock, The Mystical Woman and the Cities of the Nations, 1867, pp. 22-23).

India​


"The Puranas, one of the Hindoo Bibles of more than 3,000 years ago, contain the following passage: 'O ye three Lords! know that I recognize only one God. Inform me, therefore, which of you is the true divinity, that I may address to him alone my adorations.' The three gods, Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva [or Shiva], becoming manifest to him, replied, 'Learn, O devotee, that there is no real distinction between us. What to you appears such is only the semblance. The single being appears under three forms by the acts of creation, preservation, and destruction, but he is one.'

"Hence the triangle was adopted by all the ancient nations as a symbol of the Deity . . . Three was considered among all the pagan nations as the chief of the mystical numbers, because, as Aristotle remarks, it contains within itself a beginning, a middle, and an end. Hence we find it designating some of the attributes of almost all the pagan gods" (Sinclair, pp. 382-383).


Greece​


"In the Fourth Century B.C. Aristotle wrote: 'All things are three, and thrice is all: and let us use this number in the worship of the gods; for, as the Pythagoreans say, everything and all things are bounded by threes, for the end, the middle and the beginning have this number in everything, and these compose the number of the Trinity'" (Arthur Weigall, Paganism in Our Christianity, 1928, pp. 197-198).

Egypt​


"The Hymn to Amun decreed that 'No god came into being before him (Amun)' and that 'All gods are three: Amun, Re and Ptah, and there is no second to them. Hidden is his name as Amon, he is Re in face, and his body is Ptah.' . . . This is a statement of trinity, the three chief gods of Egypt subsumed into one of them, Amon. Clearly, the concept of organic unity within plurality got an extraordinary boost with this formulation. Theologically, in a crude form it came strikingly close to the later Christian form of plural Trinitarian monotheism" (Simson Najovits, Egypt, Trunk of the Tree, Vol. 2, 2004, pp. 83-84).

Other areas​


Many other areas had their own divine trinities. In Greece they were Zeus, Poseidon and Adonis. The Phoenicians worshipped Ulomus, Ulosuros and Eliun. Rome worshipped Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto. In Germanic nations they were called Wodan, Thor and Fricco. Regarding the Celts, one source states, "The ancient heathen deities of the pagan Irish[,] Criosan, Biosena, and Seeva, or Sheeva, are doubtless the Creeshna [Krishna], Veeshnu [Vishnu], [or the all-inclusive] Brahma, and Seeva [Shiva], of the Hindoos" (Thomas Maurice, The History of Hindostan, Vol. 2, 1798, p. 171).

"The origin of the conception is entirely pagan"​


Egyptologist Arthur Weigall, while himself a Trinitarian, summed up the influence of ancient beliefs on the adoption of the Trinity doctrine by the Catholic Church in the following excerpt from his previously cited book:

"It must not be forgotten that Jesus Christ never mentioned such a phenomenon [the Trinity], and nowhere in the New Testament does the word 'Trinity' appear. The idea was only adopted by the Church three hundred years after the death of our Lord; and the origin of the conception is entirely pagan . . .

"The ancient Egyptians, whose influence on early religious thought was profound, usually arranged their gods or goddesses in trinities: there was the trinity of Osiris, Isis, and Horus, the trinity of Amen, Mut, and Khonsu, the trinity of Khnum, Satis, and Anukis, and so forth . . .


"The early Christians, however, did not at first think of applying the idea to their own faith. They paid their devotions to God the Father and to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and they recognized the mysterious and undefined existence of the Holy Spirit; but there was no thought of these three being an actual Trinity, co-equal and united in One . . .


"The application of this old pagan conception of a Trinity to Christian theology was made possible by the recognition of the Holy Spirit as the required third 'Person,' co-equal with the other 'Persons' . . .

"The idea of the Spirit being co-equal with God was not generally recognised until the second half of the Fourth Century A.D. . . . In the year 381 the Council of Constantinople added to the earlier Nicene Creed a description of the Holy Spirit as 'the Lord, and giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father, who with the Father and Son together is worshipped and glorified.' . . .

"Thus, the Athanasian creed, which is a later composition but reflects the general conceptions of Athanasius [the 4th-century Trinitarian whose view eventually became official doctrine] and his school, formulated the conception of a co-equal Trinity wherein the Holy Spirit was the third 'Person'; and so it was made a dogma of the faith, and belief in the Three in One and One in Three became a paramount doctrine of Christianity, though not without terrible riots and bloodshed . . .

"Today a Christian thinker . . . has no wish to be precise about it, more especially since the definition is obviously pagan in origin and was not adopted by the Church until nearly three hundred years after Christ" (pp. 197-203).


James Bonwick summarized the story well on page 396 of his 1878 work Egyptian Belief and Modern Thought: "It is an undoubted fact that more or less all over the world the deities are in triads. This rule applies to eastern and western hemispheres, to north and south.

"Further, it is observed that, in some mystical way, the triad of three persons is one. The first is as the second or third, the second as first or third, the third as first or second; in fact, they are each other, one and the same individual being. The definition of Athanasius, who lived in Egypt, applies to the trinities of all heathen religions."







 
Somebody says:

I do not think a God could want or have unfulfilled wants or needs. God is, after all, omni everything.

As a servant of God, what wants or needs do you think God has that you can fill?

Are you ignoring the scriptures that have Jesus saying that he came to serve and not be served?

Are you for or against Jesus?
 
My answer:

- Strange question!

- A Christian is supposed to be a follower of Christ!

- The Bible tells us about the strong relationships between Yah.weh and his faithful servants!

- The Bible shows how it is important for Yah.weh!

- It is everywhere in the Bible!

- Abraham is called Yah.weh's friend!

- Yah.weh tells the devil about Job that there is no one like him on earth!

- Samuel was jealous for Yah.weh!

- Daniel is called a precious man!

- And I could go on!

- On the contrary, Israel and Judah opposed Yah.weh continuously!

- they acted worse than any other nation!

- He could have destroyed them many times!

- And he gave them the opportunity to come back to him again and again!

- Only because he made a promise to Abraham and because Abraham was his friend!
 
Somebody says:

Which one of the three?

Do you call Yahweh good or evil?

He kills a lot, when he could just as easily cure?

Strange when Jesus said he came for the ill and not the well, who had no need of his service.
 
Somebody says:

His Rabbinic teachings?

On Jesus dying for Christians, from a moral perspective.

It takes quite an imagination and ego to think a god would actually die for us, after condemning us unjustly in the first place.

Christians have swallowed a lie and don’t care how evil they make Jesus to keep their feel good get out of hell free card.

It is a lie, first and foremost, because, like it or not, having another innocent person suffer or die for the wrongs you have done, --- so that you might escape responsibility for having done them, --- is immoral.

To abdicate your personal responsibility for your actions or use a scapegoat is immoral.

Christians also have to ignore what Jesus, as a Jewish Rabbi, would have taught his people.

Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

Deuteronomy 24:16 (ESV) "Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.

Psa 49;7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

There is no way that Christians parents would teach their children to use a scapegoat.

Good morals and Jesus speak against the messianic concept and bids us pick up our crosses and follow him.
 
My answer:

- What do you mean when you say after condemning us unjustly?

- A perfect life for a perfect life: just a balance!

- Divine balance!

- Everyone is responsible for his actions and will be responsible when the Big One comes!

- Can you give examples of what Christians have to ignore about Jesus' teaching!

- If parents make good or bad decisions, their children can suffer the consequences!

- If you take the example of Israel, they took advantage of the promise Yah.weh made to Abraham!

- But they kept opposing Yah.weh!

- And they acted worse and worse!
 
What can a finite being like you or I do that could possibly gain us eternal hell?

  • There is no eternal hell!

He is a genocidal and immoral prick who kills when he could just as easily cure.

  • There is so much to learn and to work for him forever!
  • Unbelievable!

Would you follow Yahweh anywhere?

  • Definitely!
  • Man away from Yah.weh “is a genocidal and immoral prick who kills when he could just as easily cure”!
  • And if Yah.weh doesn’t cleanse the human society, man would destroy himself and everything on earth!
  • When you take away man, nature can purify itself!

  • And they lost against the Amorites!

  • So is mankind!
  • They never understand!

  • Being humble is the only way to open the doors!
 
37) Cold or Hot Anger?

  • In Deuteronomy Chapter 3, Moses asks Yah.weh to let him get into the promised land!
  • But he and Aaron didn’t give the glory to Yah.weh when the Israelites could get water!
  • But Yah.weh would not listen to Moses!
  • He was still furious with him because of the Israelites!
  • But he listened to Moses each time Moses prevented him from destroying Israel!
  • What belongs to Yah.weh belongs to Yah.weh!
  • There is no possible discussion!
  • Whoever doesn’t understand that will face death!
  • When the Big One occurs, everybody will understand that but it will be too late!
  • It is not possible to play with Yah.weh!
  • When time comes, it is necessary to pay!

- IT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WITH GREEK !

WITH GREEK WE GET PRECISION !

- NO CONFUSION IS POSSIBLE !

- JESUS HAD SIBLINGS WITH CERTAINTY !

- AND JESUS’ CONCLUSION IS THE BEST MY BROTHER AND SISTER AND MOTHER !
 
39) Cold or Hot Anger?

  • In Deuteronomy 25, Yah.weh remembers israel that Amalek attacked them when they came back from Egypt!

40) Cold or Hot Anger?

  • In Deuteronomy 31, Yah.weh tells Moses that he is going to die!
  • And he says that as soon as Moses is dead, Israel will begin to commit spiritual prostitution with the foreign gods that are in Canaan!
  • They will forsake him and break his covenant!
  • Then each time Yah.weh will become angry and strike them with calamities and distresses!
  • And Yah.weh tells Moses to write down a song about rebellious Israel and it will serve as a witness to them!
  • Then Moses tells the song to Israel!
