Who is Yahweh - How a Warrior-Storm God became the God of the Israelites and World Monotheism 

Facts matter.

I need to remember that quote. Thank You Doctor.

That was a great quote! Based.

Yeah, that intro!

Spoken like a true scholar

The Lutherans fix that problem by saying one can't use the historical-critical method of interpretation because the Bible isnt an historical account of events. You can only use the words in the Bible. And maybe Martin Luther. Something like that. My theology is pretty rusty.

Independent search for Truth! The more I learn the stronger my faith has become. So many things get changed with each translation that lately I've gone to the Hebrew text to try and understand things. Once it's been translated into Greek so many things get changed and then another translation into Latin or English even more changes to the text and the meaning behind it.

I'm from Germany and I had religious studies at school. One of my teacher was studying for a doctorate in theology and he described his seminary as atheism factory.

@@sophigenitor sounds very cynical, studying this kind of stuff really should never drive anyone to atheism unless there were already some preverbal wolves in the sheep pen.

Our Akkadian. ancestors, around 2500 to 2000 B.C., worshiped God and called Him (Aya) and Eal) in Arabic is a letter calling out to someone far away. But they made the angels control the universe without referring to God, so they established what is called (the complex of the gods) consisting of multiple statues, each statue symbolizing the king of angels # Therefore, each king had a specific function, so we find the complex of gods among the Akkadians (ancestors of the Babylonians) consisting of small statues It symbolizes some important angels. Prophet Abraham in the time of the Akkadians around the year 2000 BC, and he took advantage of people going out to celebrate one of their holidays, and destroyed the small statues and put the ax in the neck of the large statue without destroying it # which symbolizes him with the angel of death or (Azar) and in Arabic his names are (Azrael) and (Asher) In the Assyrian civilization # and the Egyptians called him. (Osiris) 🤔 Abraham's goal is to teach his people # If he controls life and death as you think without referring to God, why didn't his companions save # other small gnomes from collapsing or dying

Likewise, you must be certain that the world after death is also based on wise, non-material laws. Therefore, Our interpretations and analyzes must begin with faith first

@@archangel_one whose truth?

Implications are that the prehistoric Indo-European migrations across Eurasia are a likely origin. Their chief god was a storm god. It spread all over and seems to have been adapted to cultures in many places. Which wasn't unusual, at all, for polytheistic religions. Also, much later during the Late Bronze Age, one of the tribes of the "Sea Peoples" (raiders), whom the Pharaoh had settled in the Levant after defeating them in a battle, as part of a peace settlement, is believed to have originated in Bronze Age Mycenaean Greece . The "Peleset" tribe, as they were called by the ancient Egyptians. Believed to have then become the Philistines. Along with the mention in the Egyptian history, there have also reportedly been cultural artifacts from that period found in the area also linking that theory of migration/settlement by Mycenaeans. Although a storm god would've likely already been a staple in the area by that point, so I doubt the Mycenaean pantheon would've changed much in regards to that.

@@NefariousKoel I think that George Carlin said it well that we should worship the Sun. Most of our overt energy comes from it. Storms are really the result of the radiance of the Sun as the cause. But then space itself seems to be a void that is jam packed with potential energy. Is this void at a high level of conscious that only non verbal part of the human mind can intuit? Do we misunderstand it and call it the Creator of the Universe? How is possible to be separate from it?

Baal was sometimes identified with YHWH or El and in the Hellenistic time period there was worship of Baal Zeus.

Yep, this is an evidence based, academic channel.

Millions have done this, engaging in the "evidence: they are now known as Atheists as a result.

@@ScottJB Clearly the Abrahamic god does not exist. All claimed gods fit perfectly within mad-made imagines and the evolution of such thought. Just Archaic nonsense. This does not on its own eliminate any god existing. Just none have been demonstrated, have any evidence or are in anyway involved in human affairs. Some proof or evidence may come to light, but we are looking at such a low chance, beyond 0.1 X10 to the power of 82 conservatively. I would be more concerned about getting run over by Big-Foot on a E-Scooter.

@@ScottJB No gods to calculate chances on so Zero, I said I was being conservative just giving the number of Atoms in the Universe. Pretending there are questionable assumptions is ridiculous. You can believe in the golden horned rainbow Unicorn for all I care. No evidence means I don't have to give a shit. Claim it has wings and can fly into space then it is so absurd and counter to known facts, it is a false claim and does not exist. If you are now forced to remake and redefine, to reinvent and mold a god "who was unchanging forever" to fit modern knowledge and criticisms, that should be your big give away hint it is man-made and FAKE. Pick another one.

@@ScottJB I don't think the "odds of a god existing" are relevant. If there's an unknown deity that actually exist but appear to be undetectable and non-intervening.....then there is no real significance to making any claims about it since there's nothing tangible to give us any information on it. We don't really know what defines a god aside from our own imaginations. No one knows what its attributes would be. There are no observations, no confirmable detectable information. The idea of gods being the product of human imagination is reflected in the human record with many different types of deities, entities, or creatures within stories amongst ancient cultures. If reality produces no definable data on the existence of a god or what composes a god...and then someone goes beyond that to claim: that a specific god does exist, or to know what a god wants, thinks, says, does, or how many there are, or how you should act, or treat certain groups of peoples......well, those are ASSERTIONS. Asserted claims. Someone would claim there are no gods if that's what the evidence suggest. Just like people say there are no magical leprechauns, because there's never been any detectable evidence to affirm those supernatural claims that leprechauns exist and can grant wishes. The atheist argument is basically a REJECTION of unfounded asserted claims, not that a deity has to conform to any type of form. Sure, someone can claim that a god(s) may exist, but they can also say "if one does....we don't have any information to say anything on the matter. So, we won't make any such statements until detectable information becomes available to support our position". That would be the proper route to go.

@@jamesblack4411 It should change your perspective on your faith. Given how your god is proven to have once been part of a polytheistic religion and a minor god in that religion. You’re essentially saying “lalalalala, not listening” in a polite way.

It's sad because people can't deal with the _facts don't care about your feelings_ thing when said facts go against their beliefs

@fionn_mac_ribs7113 you can't prioritize something over you faith otherwise you don't actually have faith in it. So the saying doesn't make sense. Faith by definition means to believe in something without proof or evidence.

@@fionn_mac_ribs He was introduced into that pantheon by humans, then has to fight his way out of it. He orders the Asherah poles and images of Baal destroyed, basically destroying the rest of the pantheon as I believe he always intended. None of the actual prophets associate him with these other gods, and in the Bible he clearly makes them his enemies. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me"

I understand the struggle very much. I am not a closet atheist, but I perhaps am a closet skeptic. For years I have felt a degree of obligation to "look under the hood" to try and sort what is clearly man-made vs what I think still has some lingering sense of divinity, but it is a lonely road and I speak of it little.

I too have been trying to sort it out for many years. I do know that the one who spoke of love, mercy and forgiveness asked us to call his Creator Father. This tells me up to this point he had no other name to point to as to the Character of our True Creator. As I look in this world of war and chaos it seems a god of war is in charge here. What name is this god mostly called upon in worldly religions? Yahweh, the god of war and upheaval. This just confirms that maybe our Creator Father is not the same deity if we seek love, mercy and forgiveness. I no longer call myself a "christian" because it is said in John 15:14-15 that if we do as he says we are called Friends, and we will Know All things. I find this as being True.

@@epicofgilgamesh9964 I’ve actually heard of this, but I think it’s looked at a little incorrectly. In the Scripture it actually does talk about the Israelites including Yahweh into Canaanite religion, that the main thing the prophets preached against.

It can’t negate the existence of an omnipresent and omnipotent one God viewpoint as in most of our current religions. God is God and is all things. Whatever name or characteristics or even dogmatic religion you attach to it, God is God and will always be all things. It is kid of soothing to take the stress of of worrying about which cannon is the correct way to worship.

Chat GPT: For example, throughout history, religious beliefs have been used to justify wars, genocide, and other atrocities. In such cases, the use of faith to dictate history can be seen as a betrayal of the values and principles that are supposed to guide religious practice. Furthermore, by allowing faith to dictate history, the accuracy and integrity of historical records may be compromised, leading to a distorted or incomplete understanding of the past. As such, this quote suggests that it is important to separate religious beliefs from the interpretation and recording of historical events to ensure a more accurate and truthful understanding of our collective history.

It doesn't make any sense. You can't prioritize something over your faith otherwise you don't actually have faith in it.

@@thefool3424 your name is stunningly fitting to your perspective. Do you still believe that we originated from 2 humans?

My favorite section of the Bible is _Samuel_ and _Kings_ (obviously cuz I'm named after it lol). It's an excellent jumping-in point for modern readers that covers the decision to appoint the first king of the Hebrews, how the head of the temple Samuel had a whole bunch of reasons why having a king is a terrible idea but went ahead and appointed one due to pressure from the people, going all the way up to the reign of King David and all the pros and cons that came with that. Samuel / Kings is a straight 4 books of solid narration focused on just a few consistent characters in-depth and why they made the decisions they made. Unlike books like Deuteronomy or even Exodus, the whole David arc holds up really well in terms of readability and narrative focus. Could easily be adapted into some _Game of Thrones_ type drama if you dug into the history around it and fleshed out the enemy factions a little.

Actually, I study in the historical musicology of Hebrew recitation, and to tell you the truth, a lot of the Hebrew Bible's poetry very well could have sounded like what we call 'Rock' or 'Metal'. We can at best reconstruct tradition-strands of the melodic motion of any given piece, but for Rhythm, we are on much more solid ground. I've successfully decoded the syllable-lengths of most song-poetry corpuses (it's not easy to do completely, because rules for syllable length evolved along with peoples's conception of what constitutes a syllable, and thus the length of vowels and the weight of consonants themselves evolved with the Hebrew language- and so older and newer poetry in the Hebrew Bible are not all as rhythmically even when certain later ways of pronunciation are applied... but most of it does work well when the oldest ways are inferred/reconstructed and applied.) Anyway, yeah. Rhythmically, I mean, there are many songs in the Tanakh that remind me of metal. Psalm 2 reminds me of Power Metal, for example.

That sounds fun! A musical version of Hassid or Hipster. 😊

Thanks for watching and the kind words!

Looking at what is happening in the world now is kind of giving me a new perspective on how religion came to be what it is. Not really how it came to be a thing in the first place, but how it got to where we are, now. Because Pagan cultures were always completely at home with adding to their religions or creating new interpretations of things, but never with abandoning religion altogether. A God only ever stopped being worshipped if it's entire purpose was completely absorbed by another deity to the point of redundancy. Hell, with many religions, you could walk across all the nations of a specific culture group and get several different names for the same exact deity that weren't used elsewhere, as well as hear completely different & contradictory stories about them & the origins of the earth which would all be being believed by some practitioners of the exact same religion at the exact same time. But, religion and society influenced each other greatly. Societies started with simple ideological principles which were probably put in place for seemingly sensible reasons and got more complex the more complex society itself got. Even looking at terrible things, like the Jews demanding that women should marry their rapists- well, if women aren't able to do certain things a man can do by law, then they are partly useless for a parent to keep on once marriable & if it's colloquially accepted that men refuse to touch women who've already been touched, then you'd be stuck with a useless mouth for the rest of your life if you didn't force that, as terrible as that is. And Religion began to, not only explain how the world formed, but also why society operates by the laws it does, why people are supposed to find one thing acceptable and another thing unacceptable & adding the element of a command by an all powerful deity scares people into being rather strict about application, irregardless of the harm it's capable of doing. That harm created a world where a lot of people may have fell through the cracks or felt disenfranchised by the system. Empires rose & wildly different cultures shared knowledge and became brothers & we end up with a couple failed early attempts at new religion in Atenism & Zoroastrianism before we basically end up with Christianity, Islam & Bhuddism virtually all at once, who begin dividing up the whole of the earth between them. I'm starting to think these people either meant well in trying to save all those disinfranchised people, but didn't realize that what they were teaching was creating a new version of the exact same problem they were trying to solve, or if they were just so angry, they wanted to invent a new standard of perfection that they were able to hold to and force everyone else to hold themselves to it too, to cause people deliberate pain as a punishment for disinfranchising them in the first place. Maybe even a mix of both? Of course, all those religions went about carving up the world in wildly different ways from one another, but I do think they all arose from a similar place, honestly. Now, we're kind of at a place where it's happening all over again, but people are fighting over whether we should alter the pre-existing ways yet again, bring back a modern version of the old ways, or just abandon the concept of religion altogether as archaic and damaging.

For me, it's the opposite. As humans become wiser, our gods seem more ridiculous and feeble.

Rudra sounds like Slavic Rod and like Latin word for root, origin I think Rotra he was allfather of creation as rodit literally means to give birth be born it also reminds of sviatovid - world seeer with one head and four faces when you consider that praslavic system was democracy I think this was something like a worldview that every clan from each side of world had own patron god but they all were of equal standarding and importance unified by that one unifying prasource like nature or brama (,door, gate) the opening to other world or to the source of everything and it was to keep democratic confederation of tribes and let them choose one leader unifying for a war time again external aggression Like oak or nut trees is unifying all roots in one trunk and one trunk Is source of all branches (they had cult of these trees) we don't have any word similar with Shiva except Siwa - feminine version of color gray and śliwa plum tree with purple plums these colours reminds me underground ash and blue skin of a dead person (this kind of blue is called siny/sina/sine like when getting hit and getting purple eye kind) Norse culture was mixed with old Europeans in Scandinavia so they had elements unseen in rest of Indoeuropean cults, also Viking era was very late so much later than Roman times and being influenced by everything before, they even took runes from south keeping numeric order but changing sound values vs original Odin totally can have origin in meaning of One, First, Chiefly, Leading as Slavic Adin, Jeden means one, alone, first, the only one. words like chief, guide come from it and this brings us to the most mysterious and forgoten but most important God of Indoeuropeans in ancient Greece called Hermes but also related to Haron the guy guiding dead after death who was God mediator crossing to heaven and underworld the herold and messenger of gods with shoes with wings like Gaulish Asterix also patron of trade, roads and hospitality he has also traits of something collecting all gods together unifying them when you remember about Hefajstos god of blacksmithing you realise Indoeuropeans could have god patrons for every activity they were employed too like a guild patron the Christian saints are such a paganic borrowing also in our economical tribal structure every village was specialised in one type of production so you had village making shield, other making arrows, other focused on raising pigs or horses and all their names are exactly derived from their function earlier it was the same identifying what type of work ppl were specialised like fishing, cutting and burning trees for new soil, hunting, producing honey in forests, blacksmithing we have whole region in Poland with name derived from supposed blacksmith god Kuj called Kujawy (spelled Kuhyahvi)

Read the origin of all religious worship. Its solar mythology. Also, humans have developed many times. Pre- OUR historical written records, racism was not in existance, and environmental hysteria was recorded to be catalystic for religious splaying with the warfare of survivalist propagandized power vacuums.

A title is a title. A connection only exists if there was one done. For example, is the native religion of the natives in Brazil derived from Indo European Mythology and Semitic Mythology? Because Tupã also has the title of a Storm and Order god of wisdom and soldier bravery.

Inanna,Ishtar, Lilith, Lucifer AkA "The Queen Of Heaven" Are All The Same Being

And a history of cultural biases.

When the controllers adopt this BS and parade it around the world using vile acts death, in conjunction with depraved torture methods in order to force belief, it's easy to see how it's influenced the world.

When you use vile acts of torture and murder in order to force belief, it's easy to see how it's influenced the world.

Hah, as a kid going to Church every Sunday I wondered why God changed so much in the Old Testament and New. As it turns out it was two gods all along.

Yahweh is the bull god, war god, money god; this Istar the trip

​@@nathanmaxtro1 old testament: no God, only Yaweh(not a god) , New testament: Jesus cites The Father which is the real one and only God, no name at all.

@@paprikaahmedTruthAddict the bull was Apis/Hathor

​@@MrZRecordsthe concept of God was forming in old testament.

Its fascinating to see how many thunder Gods synchronicities there is across the history

@@northernwolf9196 Agreed. As a pagan you can definitely see parallels between different pantheons. Cool to see how gods from different cultures correlate to each other.

The bible in general does have this running theme of God being p i s s e d whenever you try to worship anyone except him. There are so many stories that have this hook like of you will be punished if you don't worship god and only god. or bad things will happen to you if you don't worship god. So yeah, to the uninitiated, talking about the polytheistic origins of Judaism is blasphemy. Hopefully you're friend warms up to this. :P

because the bible's God is actually yahweh .An 8th dimentinal being ,A diety .

@@macmoney2043 lol

God says in the Bible that he's a jealous god and that no other shall come before Him.

I don’t think one can market someone as an expert in different religions unless they separate themselves from feelings, instead focusing on facts and the stories that happen around the deities.

They feel are like separate creations with their own rules to summon them or bring them into being.

@@dannylo5875 not in my experience but plenty of people do experience them that way. Especially monotheists

I'm afraid you will still need some explanation, since I watched the video and am left unsure what the specific operative assumptions of your framework is. Indeed, a historicized account does not imply a metaphysical framework or occult framework. A monotheist, for instance, will simply interpret the historical development of Yahweh, in all its complexities, as the exoteric expression of progressive revelation through gradual embodied assimilation by the pious. A polytheist and henotheist will each give a different reading of the history, although they all agree on the facts. But where the polytheist interpretation will differ is how they take The One as different from Yahweh, rather than a further, deepening revelation of the same undivisible deity.
