The character god in the bible, the one who speaks is not the real god who created everything.

I do think that it's possible that whoever wrote the OT could have switched a few names around, but time travel? I don't think so. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt it.
the sun god Atum is said to have ascended from chaos-waters with the appearance of a snake, the animal renewing itself every morning.

Now Egyptian mythology isn't really my forte... but with a few quick searches it seems that is sun worship...
And while it may be true that sun worship has made its way into Christianity... This Atum doesn't sound like the Father I know of...

No it isn't sun worship, unless christians worship churches, get my drift?
Wow is it just me or does it seem like most of the internet is missing? I'm having trouble sourcing my perceived understanding of the sun as a symbol like the cross for this religion.edit on 24-3-2013 by Knives4eyes because: (no reason given)
In the Old Kingdom the Egyptians believed that Atum lifted the dead king's soul from his pyramid to the starry heavens.[5] He was also a solar deity, associated with the primary sun god Ra. Atum was linked specifically with the evening sun, while Ra or the closely linked god Khepri were connected with the sun at morning and midday.

Yes... that God is sun worship...
The cross is a symbol of their faith... They don't worship it or their churches...
or at least they're not supposed to...

To an outsider looking into the christian faith without an understanding, it would appear that they worshipped a cross with a dead guy on it.
I'm sure even back then...people knew staring at the sun made your brain mush.
From my understanding Aton is all within and without the cosmos, he is the fiber of everybeings being, he is the essence of love when you feel love. The sun is not Aton, it is just a fraction of him that we can feel everyday.
I promise from what I originally learned it was not sun worship and Moses aka Akenaten had to make this very clear to his subjects.
Oh and the main reason why they got rid of pharoah moses is because he told the people to stop giving greedy priests their money.
This looks like an example of a Misslerism that apparently the members of his cult pick up, making their own custom verses by splicing together bits from here and there to create this unique philosophy that looks biblical but is designed to promote a teaching that is not what the Bible teaches.
"What we were powerless to do, Christ did, dying once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God."

This matter will just depend on our perspectives, if you are willing to look deeper there are coincidences, if not then it will rest where you let it rest.
The book is called Moses and Monotheism by Sigmund Freud if you are willing to look over perhaps some notes or opinions on this work. He never claims that Moses is Akenaten or Amenhotep VI, but he will reveal coincidences that are undeniable...but this man never makes any claim at all, he leaves all the evidence up to the reader.

Although idols were banned—even in people's homes—these were typically replaced by functionally equivalent representations of Akhenaten and his family venerating the Aten, and receiving the ankh (breath of life) from him. The radicalisation of Year 9 (including spelling Aten phonetically instead of using the rayed solar disc) may be due to a determination on the part of Akhenaten to dispel a probable misconception among the common people that Aten was really a type of sun god like Ra. Instead, the idea was reinforced that such representations were representations above all of concepts—of Aten's universal presence—not of physical beings or things.
Is this another Misslerism?
Religion, ALL religion, is about man trying to attain to god (or godhood).
