Old Testament History and Salvation: From any type of situation, it is always best to start from the beginning. For the bible, that is the Old Testament. The Old Testament is the first section of the Christian Bible. The Old Testament consists of many distinct books written, compiled, and edited by various authors and different Christian religions, over a period of centuries. Each religion had a certain purpose and goal for their interpretation of God. The first five sections of the Old Testament
The African God Bumba Bumba is an African Creator God of the Bushongo people of the Congo. He was believed to be the mighty creator god of vomit. In the beginning, it was dark and Bumba emerged from the darkness. He was a pale-skinned giant figure. He was ill and had been for millions of years. He was lonely, and it was making him ill. He was bothered by a bellyache, and he staggered around, moaned and vomited up the Sun. Light now came to the Universe. He next chocked out the Moon. The
claimed that he encountered an extraterrestrial being. The alien, called Yahweh, explained that he was a representative of an advanced race of beings, the Elohim, who created humankind is their image via cloning techniques. As an experiment, humanity failed to achieve equilibrium within itself and the world it lived in. Throughout history, the Elohim sent prophets to Earth to guide people’s way of life based on that of the superior race. A primary reason that people failed to achieve that peace is

to creation, the order of events, and the characterization of God. To begin, the first story of creation (referred to as the Elohim story) takes place from Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 2:4 and discusses in great detail the process of creation. The story begins with a pre-existing but chaotic world that is plunged in dark waters and void of life (Gen 1:2). The deity called “Elohim” choses to bring order to this world first by creating and bringing light to the darkness; this action represents the introduction
myth! It is not Gospel! And as this writer scripted, Yahweh’s Mythopoeia and its following two novels, is based on the New Testament’s Book of Revelation’s 20:7-8 and First Corinthians’ 15:24-26 scriptures. In this self-made mythopoeia, and because Elohim (The Mighty Ones) operate in the reality of history and truth, Millennium Past follows certain scriptural facts that cannot be denied. Yet, two facts still debated today, is whether the Messiah’s name is Jesus, Yeshua or Yahshua, and if “God” should
6:4(NKJV) states: “Here, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:”. That sums up the doctrine of the Oneness. But, one instance will not satisfy. Here are just a few of the misconceptions of the Trinity Doctrine that cause it to be in fault: First: “Elohim” “Elohim”, meaning "God", is sometimes confused to show the plurality of the Godhead, this is not a correct interpretation. In the Hebrew words are plural in construction but singular in the way that they are used. Also the Hebrew often used plural forms
discussion we will be using verses from the Old Testament as well as New Testament. Let's start out with a verse from the first book of the Bible. In Genesis 1:1 we can find the Hebrew word אֱלֹהִ֑ים(Elohim). The word אֱלֹהִ֑ים(Elohim) is not a singular word but plural. In the Hebrew language the word Elohim doesn't refer to gods, but to the one true God of Israel. we can see

Human Sacrifice and Pederasty are extremely dangerous rituals as they both literally open the gates of hell and effectively persuade the most powerful evil forces that exist outside of our dimension to enter into this world. The wizard or instigator serves as that passage for these Evil Spirits to enter into this world. The ancient enemy of mankind influenced all of the nations on the earth regardless of their geographical location to perform the abominable transgression of offering human beings

The origin of the earth is something that people have and always will be curious about. It is full of all these amazing creatures and things that we have no idea how they came to be. The Enuma Elish and Genesis are stories of creation. These stories are almost complete opposites of each other. They have very few similarities but many differences. This essay focuses on the natural world, view of humans, and the cosmos of each story. You will be able to see how a polytheistic and monotheistic world
creature during the time. Enuma Elish states that Tiamut was the creator and in Fishbane’s writing Elohim is the equal creator. However, Tiamut is described as a women with the phrases “she raged and cried” and “she uttered a curse”. Whereas in Fishbane’s writing Elohim is described as a male in the third day of Genesis “and the gathered waters He called:”Sea!””. The rest of the time it is unclear if Elohim is a man or a woman. Neither version seems to definitively tell us if it only one God or multiple
"I am the mast of my fate: I am the captain of my soul (e.g., From decorated veteran, n.d.)." That was a quote from the poem "Invictus," but it was also a handwritten statement from Timothy McVeigh before his execution on June 11, 2001 (e.g., Timothy McVeigh, n.d.). Timothy McVeigh was born on April 23, 1968 in Pendleton, New York. He was the middle of three children in his family. He was very interested in guns at a young age. His parents separated when he was only ten years old. McVeigh graduated
(ESV) (Genesis 1:1) a few principium conferred to the reader. Elohim proclaimed to all mankind that he is the King, the Sovereign creator and ruler of the world, he existed before time and without him nothing would exist. “Elohim” God is translated from the Hebrew word “Elohim,” being a plural masculine noun with the attributes of Ruler, Lawgiver, and Judge of the world, this is a title not his name. Elohim declared, “He has made known to his people the power of his works
day breaks.” But he said, “I am not letting You go until You have blessed me!” 27. So He asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Ya‛aqob.” 28. And He said, “Your name is no longer called Ya‛aqob, but Yisra’ela, because you have striven with Elohim and with men, and have overcome.” 24. And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's
anthropomorphic being in the J source when compared to the other sources who present God as more transcendent figure. The E source is believed to be written around the 9th century BCE (Coogan pg.54) and unlike the J source, the E source refers to God as Elohim. By reading the E source you will notice that the title Yahweh was revealed to Moses in the book of Exodus and in the J source we see the name Yahweh being used in the primeval chapters (Gen. Chapters 2-11) thus seeing a discrepancy between the sources
In the original Hebrew, the LORD God translates to YHWH Elohim. YHWH is God’s personal name and the proper name for God. As a holy name, it has been translated as Lord so as not to blaspheme the title, implying man’s fear of and respect for YHWH. In addition, Elohim, a common noun for a deity, signifies might and strength. In Hebrew, the suffix “im” makes a masculine singular noun plural; as God is a singular subject, Elohim connotes the multiplicity of God. Thus, the connotation of God’s
of a person revealed the characteristics of that person. As such, the names' of God will reveal a map of the characteristics of God throughout the Pentateuch. The first name used for God is also used predominantly linked with Abraham and that is Elohim. Genesis uses different names for God which are almost always based on the Hebrew root word, El. El was a generic Hebrew term for deity (as in Genesis 35:1b-3; 46:3). The root name El is reflected in numerous names for God in the Torah. In Genesis

In P (the Priestly source), throughout Genesis, God is known as God (elohim) or by titles such as God Almighty (el shadday), but it was not until the time of Moses that the divine name Yahweh was revealed: “God [Elohim] spoke to Moses and said to him: ‘I am the Lord [Yahweh]. I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty [el shadday], but by my name “The Lord [Yahweh]” I did not make
