That's why you can't be the God Who created this world.
Gay Bologna Wrote:OFC, you do realize that the abrahamic concept of a god -as- those things isn't unique as a concept of gods..yes? That much was also borrowed from other pagans. The abrahamic god started out as one limited god in a pantheon of other limited gods. The groups we retroactively call judea christian changed their god concept as they came up with better ideas and were introduced to better ideas through cultural transfer.
You're all still at it, today..though...now, you mostly borrow from the godless, rather than the godly. Not too many pagans left laying around, a state of affairs that the abrahamics might have had something to do with.
How did the Abrahamic God, i.e., Yahweh/Elohim/Alaha, start off as "limited"? Limited in what way? And what pantheon?
The first written record of this Abrahamic God - the Torah - describes Him thus:
טווְנִשְׁמַרְתֶּ֥ם מְאֹ֖ד לְנַפְשֹֽׁתֵיכֶ֑ם כִּ֣י לֹ֤א רְאִיתֶם֙ כָּל־תְּמוּנָ֔ה בְּי֗וֹם דִּבֶּ֨ר יְהֹוָ֧ה אֲלֵיכֶ֛ם בְּחֹרֵ֖ב מִתּ֥וֹךְ הָאֵֽשׁ:
And you shall watch yourselves very well, for you did not see any image on the day that the Lord spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire.
Lest you become corrupt and make for yourselves a graven image, the representation of any form, the likeness of male or female, (Deut. 4:15-16)
