If The God of The Bible is evil (Elohim, Yahweh) why do you still talk to angels like "Michael"?, page 1

Maybe the God of the bible wasn't God in the first place... Just an entity posing as God to men that didn't know any better...

So where does that leave his angels such as Michael and the others?

IF this god wasn't actually the true God... they wern't his angels either...

If this is so, and the arch angels aren't actually his angels, that would mean that this god was not only pretending to be the true god, but also using false names (elohim / yahweh).


It's also interesting that The Ancient Canaanites worshiped a god called Yahweh who they called "The God of War", and also "el", "al", (ba'el) the bull god.

Ever notice said God is happy to break his own commandments... and even command his creations (children) to break them after they were established?

Elohyim is a plural noun in Hebrew, and "El" is a generic title (God) not a proper name. Last but not least, your premise is based upon a prejudicial arbitrary conjecture, that's not a logical way to start.

Sorry bud, I was entertaining the theories that bible letters relate to numbers and that this particular name or numbers is the secret formula to life, the universe and everything.

(which was summed up nicely in the comedy sci-fi book "The Hitch-hikers Guide To The Galaxy" by the number '42')

It isn't obvious?

...

12 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.

14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

That because the Canaanites recognized who the true God was but could not defeat him. Do not forget that Yahweh destroyed the Canaanites in the end for worshiping Baal.

What work did He command the Hebrews to do on the Sabbath?

reply to post by NOTurTypical

What does it matter when he said "thou shall not kill" and even wrote it in stone apparently...

edit on 24-8-2012 by Akragon because: (no reason given)

Not so fast, lets first address this Sabbath command for the Hebrews that you brought up as evidence that God commanded His children to break. Where did God command them to break the Sabbath?

Is it possible for an atheist parent to not force the same belief on their children?
