And it was translated by a few monks in the 7th century CE, meaning that the English form is a translators’ impression of the original New Testament texts. I’m saying I respect the original faiths a lot more than any variant. Of course, every monotheistic religion is awful. Good people side with warmongers under the names of their god: Allah, Yahweh and… God.
They also discarded a few gospels and other bible books.
E: Whoops wrong comment lol.
Jehovah was the one you were missing.
Isn’t Yahweh and Jehovah the same thing?
Iirc “kinda” but I’m open to being wrong.
Hell my old boss was muslim and he used to say that Yahweh/Torah was book one, Jehovah/Bible was book two, and Allah/Quran was book three, but they’re all technically the same “guy” by different names, so if he was right then “yes?”
Well, Jehovah is just a different spelling of Yahweh. And yeah, allah is the christian god, IIRC allah literally means god, we just use their word for it to distinguish it.
Interesting, I’ll have to look into it, I wonder why/when it switched if not “one was Torah/Jewish, one was New Testament/christian,” but frankly if my boss was right then it’s all a moot point, since Allah, Yahweh, and “…God” (the “names of their god:” list from the OC) is just listing the same dude three times.
Honestly I just figured that “…God” was a placeholder for a forgotten name that would actually fit the pattern better, (namely “Jehovah”).
It’s pretty wild, he was originally a minor storm god that became the patron of Israel and then their religion was slowly modified over time - first he replaced their main god El (think Zeus/Odin) as the biggest one and then slowly over time the other gods were banned from being worshipped and eventually they ceased to exist from the holy texts.
If you read carefully, you can find verses in the Bible that acknowledge the existence of other gods, though most verses were edited over millennia and only a precious few like that remain.
You see those beards though?
I’m currently the one on the left, but I’m aiming for the one on the right
The Council of Nicea didn’t establish the books of the bible.
I think it established the Trinity or laid the groundwork for it.
Technically the Trinity was already established and was even the majority view. It just wasn’t the universal view. The Council of Nicaea was about enshrining it as the official doctrine.
Touche
Diet of Worms assembled the bible from available sources, IIRC. Forget where apocrypha and Catholic/Protestant diverge.
