Nothing is personal unless you make it personal. Some tend to forget that asceticism was a part of mysticism. Too remove oneself from worldly things in order to commune with the higher-self or God. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the name of the primary Canaanite deity well before Yahweh came along, which is why Isra-El has the El suffix and not Yah/Yahu. cormac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryp Posted August 4, 2022 #619 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) ^^^ Again, El is a Hebrew word translated as a god. It's a tile, not a name. Period. Edited August 4, 2022 by larryp the details!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still wrong, El is a word borrowed by the Hebrews from the Canaanites as it was the name of the Canaanite chief deity from circa 2500 BC, and later applied to Yahweh after the two were merged circa 1200 BC.

So, for example, Mohomed means god in Arabic, but it's not a name; it's the title. Among the Hebrew words that are translated “God” is ʼEl, probably meaning “Mighty One; Strong One.” It is used with reference to YHWH, to other gods, and to men. It is also used extensively in the makeup of proper names, such as Elisha (meaning “God Is Salvation”) and Michael (“Who Is Like God?”). Hey Cormac, this ant rocket science. Take the vail off your face, man. Come out of the cave and avoid the shadows. Edited August 4, 2022 by larryp the details!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
