    God/Yahweh/Allah I BELIEVE started as volcanic activity

    Who mentioned 'beaming'? No-one mentioned beaming. I said 'shone', which is very different to beaming. Beaming would mean smiling broadly or exuding lots of happiness. The word in question refers to a physical characteristic and not an emotive one. How come you completely overlook the 'devouring...

    God/Yahweh/Allah I BELIEVE started as volcanic activity

    Ok, I confess, I changed my mind about the meaning as I realised shone indicates shining, which would mean sweating. However, I'm still not sure as some translations say 'radiant' and some say 'glowing' but most do say 'shone' or 'shining', which would suggest sweating, especially considering...

    God/Yahweh/Allah I BELIEVE started as volcanic activity

    The word volcano is not used (tellingly) but how on earth can you say that after all the verses I've posted? Unbelievable. The Exodus extracts I posted paint the picture very clearly. Arriving at a mountain of fire with clouds above, mountain trembles and makes a trumpeting noise, everyone runs...

    God/Yahweh/Allah I BELIEVE started as volcanic activity

    You are arguing over nothing. What difference does the name of the deity or the time of the books, etc matter? It makes no difference! The whole Bilbe, except for Genesis (which was written after exodus retrospectively), refers back to Exodus. Exodus portrays very clearly (you did read the...

    God/Yahweh/Allah I BELIEVE started as volcanic activity

    The thing is that the Hebrew god myth is crucial to a lot of other myths...a lot of occult stuff that Outhouse might well be into. If 'God' is proven a complete and utter error in ancient human judgement, a lot of occult stuff just becomes laughable too.

    God/Yahweh/Allah I BELIEVE started as volcanic activity

    Shone = sweating So it was nothing to do with the thing mentioned in the story then...the thing where the Lord resided, the thing at the top of the mount where the smoke clouds came out of....the thing that Moses is said to have gone near to talk to god 'face to face'.... the 'devouring...

    Right. So this seemingly insignificant element to the story (getting a sweaty face) was added for.....entertainment value? Now to believe that one would need to be daft as a brush.

    Just adding some more bits from Madame Blavatski's work.... Well there you go. Blavatski might have been knowledgeable but she looked at everything through a supernatural perspective so, despite her acknowledging the fact the Hebrews worshipped volcano gods, she failed to realise that meant...

    I wonder what made Moses's face shine so bright. Hmmmmm.....what could it have been? Was it a sauna up there? An artificial sunbed perhaps. A very powerful torch? A meteor landed. Yes! That's what it was! A meteor! </H4>

    God/Yahweh/Allah I BELIEVE started as volcanic activity

    Is that a meteor as well? If not, what is it describing? Please tell everyone reading this what you believe this is describing. If you can't put your finger on it, I'll post the subsequent verses. Yes, I must have trouble reading just as you do as I've repeated myself for you many many times...

    God/Yahweh/Allah I BELIEVE started as volcanic activity

    If I am trying to persuade people to believe that this.... Is a metaphor for a volcano and its tumbling and racing chariots (ash clouds) then what the hell are you talking about? All metaphors have literal interpretations. You can't have a metaphor for a metaphor! What on earth are you...

    God/Yahweh/Allah I BELIEVE started as volcanic activity

    Ok so the Bible portrays a time when nomadic people believed volcanic activity was their god and they even believed their leader had spoken 'face to face' with their god, who resided in the volcano, and they have passed on for posterity the comings and going of life at the base of volcanoes, and...

    God/Yahweh/Allah I BELIEVE started as volcanic activity

    The reason why I can see what I can see and why you cannot is because you are looking for dates and evidence to correlate. That is your focus. My focus is not on dates but on human beings. When or by wholm the books were written is irrelevant. The workings of the minds of the people who inspired...

    Exodus the book or Exodus the events? Please provide evidence or back up your statement.

    Oh come on! The further away you get from the origins the least factual the information will be. Added later...Chinese Whsipers. Exodus is the origin.

    The answer to your question is in your question. 'Added in later' should give you a clue.

    God/Yahweh/Allah I BELIEVE started as volcanic activity

    The opening two lines need to be focused on....god came from a 'Holy One'....from a mountain. 'Holy One' is, I believe, a term used to describe an eruption of magma. Habakkuk 3:3 NIV

    Sounds to me like volcanoes and vents popping their corks all over the place.
