Son and Holy Spirit) while Judaism and Islam teach it is Yahweh and Allah respectively. Paganism however tends to differ. An example would be Wicca which (for the most part) teaches that God has both a masculine and feminine aspect to it. Some traditions teach that the masculine is The Horned God, while the feminine is The Triple Goddess (Maiden, Mother and Crone). Regardless of how much time…

Astruc. He believed that the different usage of the names of God Yahweh and Elohim was proof that there were different sources for the authorship of the Pentateuch.

During the reign of Jeroboam II the poor were oppressed and the Israelites worshipped false gods and idols. Hosea (a prophet) relays Yahweh’s messages to the Northern Kingdom. Yahweh warns the Israelites of future punishment and judgement but shows compassion when he offers an opportunity for reconciliation after judgement and…

religion of the Israelites. Their religious rituals, laws to abide by, and ethics are grounded in the foundation of the experiences and memory of the Exodus (Hendel, 2001). This one event historically provided evidence for the tie and bond between Yahweh and the Israelites (Hendel, 2001). The historical accuracy of the great Exodus has been questioned considerably due to the oral and written passing on of the events; which would eventually all be written down in the Bible.

ways kindred to that of the Bible in which during the night thousands of mice masticated through the Assyrians’ bow strings and render their army useless when the sun elevates. This third story further perplexes the matter more because the angel of Yahweh was supposed to have struck the army besieging Jerusalem not Egypt. It’s very weird how one siege sought to have other terminuses. It’s near infeasible to decide which side was right, and which was erroneous. During the siege, Hezekiah clad…

The Hebrew’s believed men had free will and they took up their worldly actions strictly with the Lord. God does not control mankind but rather mankind has the freedom to choose. The Hebrews refused to have a kind because they gave all of their loyalty to Yahweh and no one else needed to be in control. It gave no…

Jezebel’s was born into royal cosmopolitan arrogance and prosperity in Tyre, along the coast of Phoenicia at the beginning of the ninth century. Her father was the King Ethbaal of the Zidonians, and he was the high priest of Baal worship. (Baal was the official religion of Phoenicia at the time of the ninth century.) According to historical and archaeological studies, Jezebel lived an extravagant spoiled life full of vibrant textiles, and the education taught by the best Phoenician tutors money…

then the personal quality found in the lawgiver/ administrator is righteous. In the mind of the Jew, Yahweh is righteous and this makes his law righteous as well. From the aforementioned two aspects can be determined, firstly, that Yahweh is the righteous God who acts righteously toward his people – which is reflected throughout the Old Testament Biblical Narrative; secondly, the law of Yahweh became the standard, moral guiding principles, through which the Jew could claim righteousness before…
