Please explain, Christians. I want to hear this one also. |

Quoting: SomethingBetter But this matches some writings in the Bible. The honest and well learned rabbis will tell you that the Torah and books of the prophets are actually a rewriting of earlier works. This is why it matches! BTW, I am a Christian.

Remember, Yehovah Elohim told TWO creation stories in Genesis (chapter 1 and chapter 2), the first book of the Bible (The Word). Why is that? This question is likely linked to yours.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77663635 United States 02/25/2020 04:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Your approach is flawed. Understanding of the creator of the universe, the God of Abraham, Jesus Christ the son, requires more than one small passage to be debated by other men. Why not ask God Himself? Humble yourself truly and perhaps you may hear His voice. Matthew 7:7-12 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 75844604 United States 02/25/2020 04:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That's right, this is from the Egyptian book of the dead. They're praising Lucifer as in Genesis the word God in that context is to be understood as "Elohim, angels, gods, magistrates" as opposed to The Lord God. Nothing is made without Him even though the rebellious ones wanted to create their own system they could inhabit in which they could be glorified as The Lord God. Quite mienucal but this is "the turn" in order to achieve "the prestige". In a manner of speaking |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75953087 Figure this out first or your just fumbling in the dark. I'm going to have to delve further, and I'm always asking, asking God for clarity and guidance. I don't particularly ascribe to "religion" of today, it's quite hypocritical. Televangelists tend to turn me off. |

Reading this is pretty shocking to me, as I was raised in a Bible home and didn't know about these writings. Look at it this way OP, Moses tells the story of the Hebrew people and their origins. It starts with two versions of the creation story, he then goes on to tell them about the flood, then Abraham and so on until he gets to his time. The 3 major religions are also known as Abrahamic Religions. So who was Abraham and where did he come from? He was a Sumerian and his god would have been a Sumerian God! So look at the Sumerian texts which predate the Torah by at least a 1000 years and probably a lot more. They tell the same stories of creation and the flood! This knowledge shouldn't phase you but rather make you more aware of the past and how it all fits together. That which is - has already been, And what is to be - has already been.

I was reading somewhere else they were written even before Book of the Dead. Much food for thought. About ready for bed now but am going to look more tomorrow. |

You didn't post any. So, no one can actually refute whatever you're trying to ask. So far, you've posted a quote from the Hymn of Osiris what part of it resembles the Old Testament? "Behold the excellent souls, which are in the realms of Death! Behold the sacred designer of north and south! Behold the mysterious one, lie who is unknown to mankind! Hail, thou enlightener of those who are in the underworld, that they may see the sunlight! Behold the lord of the Atef crown, the great one in Suten-Henen! Hail, thou great and terrible one of Naret! Hail, dweller in Uast,[2] flourishing for ever! Hail, Amen-Ra, King of the Gods, who causeth his members to grow in his rising and in his setting! Hail, receiver of monuments and offerings at the entrance of the tomb! Hail, thou who placest the Uraeus crown upon the head of its lord! Hail, thou who causest the earth to remain in its place! Hail, opener of the mouth of the four great gods who are in the underworld! Hail, living soul of Osiris, crowning him with the moon! Hail, thou who dost hide his essence in the great shrine of Amen! Hail, thou hidden God, Osiris in the underworld! Hail, thou whose soul resteth in heaven,—whose enemy hath fallen! The Goddess Isis speaketh unto thee, uttering a cry from the river— "Send the purified 'Abd'-fish from before the boat of Ra, oh lord of the beginning, Who becometh like the immortal ones that rejoice,—thou egg who becometh as one renewed." She cutteth off the heads of the enemies in this her name of "Lady of Tepka." Oh, lady of the beginning, come thou before our faces in this her name of Hathor, lady of emerald, lady of Uast the holy! Come thou in peace, because of this her name of Hathor, lady of Uast the holy!" |
