Proof that God did not speak to His people? Why make stuff up?No "HE" didn´t at all. It was the patriarchal priests who, from their lack of mythical and natural knowledge of the creation, "told so".

No the patriarchal priests told so and not "God".Actually God told us not to worship other gods. There were many.

They also told that there is just One God and throw out the Ashera female goddess, leaving the "only one and only" poor god lonely on the heavenly scenario.
Just think of it: These patriarchal priests couldn´t even se the natural fact that everything is created via male and female qualities and it was plain stupidness by the priests not to remember that they themselves were born from females.
This is a shifting of the burden of proof. You need to prove that God did speak to his people.Proof that God did not speak to His people? Why make stuff up?
Why not accept that a spirit spoke to Mohamed? I have no problem with that. What spirit that was is the question.This is a shifting of the burden of proof. You need to prove that God did speak to his people.
You would not accept that Allah (God) spoke to Mohammad. You would demand "proof" for that claim. You need to provide "proof" for your positive claim.
So now we see some sort of historical revisionism coupled with some weird gender agenda underpinned by the usual hatred of God. Whatever...
Nope, that is not Mo's claim. Otherwise the same statement applies to your beliefs. It was not God communicating, it was some sort of evil spirit.Why not accept that a spirit spoke to Mohamed? I have no problem with that. What spirit that was is the question.

Mr. Kotter?
Well, he's a real nice guy, but I don't know if I would call him an angel.Angel Gabriel....
God's people had one God.They were Canaanites.. and among their deities were El, Baal and Asherah. Asherah was a holdover AKA the Queen of Heaven.. So far, 4,000 idols to her have been excavated in Jerusalem and Palestine. Hebrew women turned to her as the consort of God in childbirth.
If the question is whether pagans can discern good from bad spirits (or care either) way, you might have a point. The question was only whether a spirit could have appeared to someone. Yes.Nope, that is not Mo's claim. Otherwise the same statement applies to your beliefs. It was not God communicating, it was some sort of evil spirit.
No. Certainly not the Gabriel of Scripture. Satan using another name? Maybe.Gabriel..
Once again you are not reasoning rationally.If the question is whether pagans can discern good from bad spirits (or care either) way, you might have a point. The question was only whether a spirit could have appeared to someone. Yes.
So not the Hebrews then.God's people had one God.
Correct that they may have encountered spirits of some kind or another...so? This is news?Once again you are not reasoning rationally.
By your standards the Hindus are correct, as are the Muslims and every other religious group out there.
One needs more than just one's personal books of myths.
Antisemitism?So not the Hebrews then.
The same applies to your beliefs. Evil spirits, oogie boogie, all around.Correct that they may have encountered spirits of some kind or another...so? This is news?
There are good and bad spirits. Not like I'd ask you which is which.The same applies to your beliefs. Evil spirits, oogie boogie, all around.
