Yahweh, the Volcano GOD of War

Point 1: David mentions a few things that would have you believe a persona attached to an object of worship is real. His argument is similar to insisting Pelee being believed to manifest as a old woman in the flesh would some how nullify her as being a volcano Goddess. Same concept in dealing with her name "Pelee" that means (Miracle / wonder) as some means to ignore all the evidence that shows this Goddess to be a volcano / mountain GOD.. Hence the meaning of the name Yahweh to which is reference to the spirit of the mountain/volcano isn't as relevant as how this god is worshiped and what it is attached to. So under his argument, he would tell you that Pelee isn't a mountain god/volcano god when we know the case to be otherwise. Point 2: He mentions Genesis, and yet Genesis does not originate with this religion / cult. The creation story predates Christianity's use of this creation story by hundreds of years. It derives, by most scholars, from preexisting beliefs, cultures, and traditions that stem back to their polytheistic roots. Even the Enuma Elish predates Genesis to which dates back to 1750 BCE discovered in the Library of Ashurbanibal. And even this Creation story is suspected of coming from common polytheistic oral traditions and beliefs. This is especially true when there was no archelogical evidence of monotheism in this time period. In fact monotheism didn't really become to full fruition until the Second Isaiah, or show itself viable till around 600 BCE. Even the shasu and midianites were still polytheistic even after Yahweh was made the GOD of Judah. Genesis is an edited version made to be monotheistic, or appear to be monotheistic to which even includes the effort or editing out Asherah as Elyon's wife. And largely so because Yahweh is the GOD that suddenly replaces El Elyon or El and Baal as God of the mountains or father of all GOD's. At some point Yahweh comes into the Canaanite religion and replaces those GOD's with Yahweh. Here's a nice video to watch as well (seems to appear in the upper right corner): http://www.youtube.com... However, Genesis is still consistent with mountain GOD worshiping despite his David's claim that it's not. Hence, you can resource the following regarding mountain GOD's..: :Quote: http://www.britannica.com... nature worship Mountains Especially prominent mountains are favourite places for cults of high places, particularly when they are isolated as island mountains, mountains with snowcaps, or uninhabited high mountain ranges. The psychological roots of the cults of high places lie in the belief that mountains are close to the sky (as heavenly ladders), that clouds surrounding the mountaintops are givers of rain, and that mountains with volcanoes form approaches to the fiery insides of the earth. Mountains, therefore, serve as the abodes of the gods, as the centres of the dead who live underground, as burial places for rainmakers (medicine men), and ... (9,243 of 9,243 words) :/quote: We can find this very example in genesis regarding this belief, and even in reference to heavenly ladders ect to where Yahweh becomes El Elohim. You can find this in Genesis chapter 12 where El Shaddia is introduced (GOD OF the Mountains). This is where Abraham is established as worshiping El Shaddai. El Shaddai is one of the names for El Elyon within the Canaanite polytheistic religion. And this is the GOD that Yahweh replaces in Genesis. You can see this replacement with Abrahams decendent Jacob in Genesis 18. Here in Genesis 18, please note the source given above regarding mountain god worship and mountains being considered as heavenly ladders to heaven, and to meet with GOD. This which is also reference in my first round regarding common mountain god worship where climbing the mountain of god is going to meet with god and or get instructions ect from said mountain spirits / gods thought to dwell in and on top of these holly mountains. So here is genesis 18 (Genesis 28:11 - 19): :Quote: 11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. 12 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 And behold, the Lord stood above it and said: "I am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. :Quote: Jacob makes this deity his Elohim to which means he makes this GOD his primary GOD of worship, or father or all other GOD's. This God then Gets replaced by Yahweh in Exodus to which is clear stated in Exodus 18:11: "Now I know Yahweh is greater than all other GODS" And Exodus depicts this GOD as a Volcano / Mountain GOD greater than the previous mountain GOD El Elyon / El Shaddia. Or as the same GOD giving the scripture in the main article I wrote. And this is noting the evidence in the comment section regarding Exodus being written around 1440 BCE and post written in the same time period as the Eruption of Mt Thera around 1440-1500 BCE. And eruption, as noted in the comment section, that buried much of Egypt in volcanic ash.. This event is seen by most scholars today as being the subject of story depicted in exodus, but as a largely embellished story in that same way where we take real events and embellish them.. Kinda like hollywood movies.., or something like world flood myths likely based on Tsunamis ect. Exodus is seen as taking this event to promote and establish the Yahwist monotheistic religion. They became very good at using fear of hell fire, lakes of fire, ect as conversion tools ect. You see these things manifest in modern Christianity, and you can see them in my main article to which includes burnt offerings and sacrifices ect. Yahweh was a Mountain / Volcano war GOD, and still is today. Yahweh is established as their War GOD in Exodus 15:3 as the GOD that delivered the isrealites from Egypt. And well, the evidence provided tells us what did that, and what volcanic event that relates to. It's just that most Christian's don't even realize it, and they believe in some cosmic deity that derrived from copying and ripping a polytheistic creation story that predated it. So the creation story is not relevant to establishing what this GOD is.. More evidence can be established in the comments section regarding quoted material from Neal Maxwell Institute of religious scholarship... It's safe to say at this point that the evidence provided here far exceeds that provided by my contender David. This to whom hasn't addressed the content directly but rests his arguments on focusing on a persona while ignoring what the persona is attached to, or what it has to do witch common mountain GOD worship in that region and era.
