That is a modern interpretation. A much simpler one, which fits the times, is that polytheism was the norm at those times and Yahweh was a competitor among other deities. Read "Kitzuer toldot Yahweh" for much more.
In the secular study of religion, this concept is call "henotheism," as taught by my Orthodox Jewish professor, Dr. Jon Levenson. "Belief in the supremacy of one god without denying the existence of others." Abraham wasn't a monotheist, our Hebrew school curriculum notwithstanding.
Lynxx Williams that is a good point, but ultimately, even if you don't turn on something, as long as the appliance/light is plugged into the plug socket, you are still using electricity, albeit, unintentionally. But technically still are causing someone else to work during a sabbath. Especially if you knowingly keep it plugged in.
Yes, God gave the 10 commandments to the jews in a hard copy- he wrote it in 2 tablets of stone. This is a demonstration of his relationship with the Jews. However, because God is just, he imprinted these same commandments in the conscience of other people in the world. Primarily, the 10 commandments are universal.
@@ChaserTree of course Satan has a body, it's called the beast. it also goes by the antichrist, man of sin, son of perdition. and we see that Satan (the dragon/the god of this world) and the beast (the roman catholic Jesus) are worshipped together. how is that so? simple, Satan is counterfeiting the Holy Spirit and will enter into the antichrist(we see this in Revelation 16:1-3) as the Holy Ghost entered in Jesus Christ and therefore both were worshipped when Jesus was worshipped. Satan really is the greatest identity thief. don't go worshipping the trinity, because you'd be worshipping Satan. worship rather the Godhead that is mentioned three times in the Authorized book
there is only 1 g-d no body or a physical being whats so ever, its only explained in a metaphor like the hand of g-d cuz there is no other way of man to understand g-d but g-d has no body at all
@@aaron7189 really? then what about Acts 20:28 where it talks about the blood of God being shed for us? but Jesus said flesh and blood hath not a spirit as ye see me have
