Elohim

and Iron [Metamorphoses I.113-126]. In contrast to the previous tales, which all feature multiple gods; Judaism and Christianity take a different approach to the explanation of creationism. These cultures practice a monotheistic belief (one god, Elohim/Yahweh). God creates everything on earth in six days and on the seventh day he rests [Genesis 1.1-31, 2.1-22]. In this myth, one god is the sole cause of each…

Foundation - Judaism was founded in the ancient region of Canaan, which is the biblical name for the land that lies between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The area is modern day Israel and Palestinian territories. Abraham is regarded by the Jewish people as the father of the religion. They believe that God spoke to Abraham, and told him that he would be the leader of a great people, but only if Abraham followed God’s instructions. Moses was a biblical figure who led the Jews out of…

God transcends our ability to understand Him the creation and in His nature. Another example is His omnipresence. Considering that the size of our visible universe is (Halpern, 2010) 93 billion ly (light years) in diameter, by faith we have to know that He is present in the whole universe Ps. 139:7. Not only is God present throughout the universe, but his nature is also homogenous in that his veracity is total. God is complete truth in all aspects, no falsehood as whatever God has revealed…

Some say there is a god greater than Hades, greater than Poseidon, even greater than Zeus. His name is Elohim. He is not just creator of heaven and earth but of the universe. He had a life and a family until a disease caught to their “Earth” or home. He lived on a planet larger than earth, larger than the UY Scuti. After the disease came, he sent his only child, Kyrios, to live his life, to do the greatness they never got to do. The Descent I had been in space now for what seems like forever,…

listed, the second is attributed to E” (479). Jenks goes on to note that “these parallel narratives constitute the most important source of information about the characteristics traits of E…the E versions of these triple and double narratives use Elohim instead of Yahweh; they focus on the nature of divine revelations or disclosures to humanity, which in E generally occur in dreams” (479). As a result of this reasoning, Jenks lists numbers Old Testament passages referring to Abraham, Jacob,…

God’s justice is reflected in His law. ------------------------------------------------- Read Exodus 20:1-21 & Matthew 22:37-40. What are the characteristics of God in these passages?

pious and accepting Job of the prose narrative be the same anguished and angry Job who unleashed torrents of accusations against God? In addition, apart from Job 12:9, the covenant name, Yahweh, does not appear in the cycle of dialogues. Instead, Elohim is almost exclusively the proper Name for God throughout the poetry. Further, there is an apparent contradiction between God’s speeches in…

What are we to make of Elihu? By his own admission, he was younger than all the rest and, in respect to them, a combination of deferential and boldly critical. He was the one who said, “I was afraid of declaring my knowledge to you” (32:6c) and “I waited for your words; I heard your reasoning; while you were searching for words, I gave to you my attention” (32:11-12a). At the same time, he came across as rather self-assured - “I get my knowledge from afar; I will ascribe righteousness to my…

Reading Ehud became an example of the Israelites’ lead to exile. With the process of disobedience, the story is not surprising as I predicted that the Israelites would expose themselves to wrong influences, leading themselves to disregard God’s commandments and to live how they want to live. While it is true that humans have fallen short of sin, it never gives them or us the excuse to commit sins. Despite what God says to them, the Israelites have become an example of the disobedience of God’s…

simply cannot say that to be true. Through my research on both sides I am convinced that the God of the Bible is not the same God of the Koran. People have worshipped gods since human existence began, but to say that Allah is the same God as Yahweh Elohim of the Bible is just a false statement; There is no way they can be the same God due to the violence in the Bible and the Koran, Yahweh and Allah swearing by different things, Allah being a deceiver, and the Korans belief on the holy trinity.…
