Yelekiah Posted January 16, 2006 #578 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) to me it's Egyptian mythology Again, why isn't the Bible mythology. You totally skirted the question, like most people do... What many people fail to realize is that they believe in something only because of it's popularity. Ra is thousands of years before Jesus. And there are so many parallels with the Egyptian stories and the Christian ones, people don't realize that there are many pagan ideas in the Bible. And yet pagans are shunned at times. I suggest you read some books on the material. I was concerned about Yahweh and now have just learned that Yahweh was believed to be the worlds creator. You don't seem to know too much on the subject, but the letters of God's ancient name in Latin letters is IHVH. Very similar to the Egyptian HUHI, divine name (before the Tetragrammaton) and both have interchangeable letters. The egyptians have some imagination And the Bible could easily be a work of imagination, given that some of the books were based on dreams and nightmares that people had (Revelation, Daniel, etc) Not only that, but at the time the Bible was written pious fiction was gaining popularity. And why written in third person? It would be much more practical if it was written in first. And another thing, the Egyptians did in fact worship Ra, but I'm guessing you knew that already.

Yel sweetheart you make me laugh...lol you haven't seen me call it a myth but you have seen me say over and over and over again that it don't follow it, I don't believe it to be the word of god and I don't read it ....now that to me sounds like someone to see it as unbelievable and a myth if you will take from it what you like it still boils down to the one thing Now where I had said I don't read it.....I have however (once again must repeat) been taught it in my early days believe it or not I have stated several times throughout this board that I was once religious...uhuh tis true but as for making a fool out myself(results to name calling) ..LOL yel hun I am glad to see that lil ole BM here can get under your skin...such thrill....here is a tip next time you want to ask a question...why not wait a lil while to see if I have read your question and give just a few mins before you rush in and attack there's a good chap Edited January 16, 2006 by Beckys_Mom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yelekiah Posted January 16, 2006 #595 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) Not reading the Bible and believing it is a myth are two different things, BM.

Kismit Posted January 16, 2006 #596 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Goodness me. I believe I have already asked once to have people get back on topic.

BM, it only too me 6 minutes to respinf, not 17. wtf are you talking about? TO me it is...if I don't believe in a storey I will call it a myth...and that doesn't just mean the bibile that could mean any story... go back and read the time difference between your 1st question and the second time where you tried so hard to be the wise guy and re-ask it without giving me time to answer...even though I had answered you and my answer to your 1st question was followed by two different posts by two different members in between.... to help you out...(so you can understand) you posted the 1st question at 11.51pm (gmt) my time and re-posted the same question @ 12.08am again (gmt) my time...to me in my calculation that makes 17 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yelekiah Posted January 16, 2006 #600 Share Posted January 16, 2006 It's 6 min on mine and evident in the amount of time it took me to answer. Perhaps your time is messed up because everyone knows it didn't take 17 min. Me, I don't think Ra or God is in another realm. Just Anubis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
