and lest we not forget "The Father" of these "
Adulterous Jews" is the demiurge ("The Devil" ) John 8:44 .. aka the twin God whose names are Jealous and YHWH.

Is Jealous also the name of the twin one is talking about, please, right??
It starts like thus:
"
Exodus 34 "The Lord said to Moses"
So it is neither from Moses nor from G-d, it is, I understand, an expression from some Judaic racial clergy, please, right?

This a standard translation Then the Lord said:
“I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. 11 Obey what I command you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 12 Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you. 13 Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.[a] 14 Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God"
The first question is the meaning of "Lord" which by convention the translators and redactors substituted the name YHWH with Lord in the text. .. .so "YHWH said to MOses" is your passage and "Then YHWH said" is exodus 34:10
But later on we read that this is not
YHWH speaking "as such" , but
Jealous .. a god whose name is Jealous seperate and apart from Lord YHWH
or .. we are dealing with one of these twin Gods .. which are very common .. diesm of a sort .. and there are many such motifs in the religious beliefs of the day .. and in fact the whole Israelite history is one of going back and forth between two poles- this in many cases a contribution of the redactors this however supporting the pre-existing theme .. remember the redactors are trying to frame the Polytheistic believes of the Israelites and abrahamites and those before that .. all believers in many Gods .. to a nation through a monotheistic lens .. which of court doesn't fit but they try while maintaining as much of the original story as possible. Your mission .. should you choose to accept it is to figure out what the test was saying from the perspective of an 1800 BC Babylonian from Ur .. Patron Go1800d(s) Enlil o Marduk .. and a whole pantheon of other Gods but also.. Stories about those Gods .. stories of how they created man .. how you were created mate .. your oldest ancestor
And .. what is interesting .. is that everyone has the same story .. regardless of what Nation you are from ..or what God(s) you follow .. parts of your religious texts will be the same .. the stories in Genesis a prime example.
So when you read created "Like US" .. created in "OUR Image" .. this means nothing but gibberish to modern monotheist.
If you are talking to our Babylonian friend . or Assyrian . or Canaanite. or Moabite . or Edomite . or Philistine. or Phoenician . or Hittite or . or .. or in 700-1800BC pick which ever date you like .. they all can tell you exactly what that passage means .. and they will all say exactly the same thing. They all know the story of where humans came from .. this is shared history just as Australians today know the name of the first person to land on the moon.
and what is super strange here .. is that you .. and everyone you know and everyone they know .. should know this story right off top of head .. but no one does Sans Biblical History-archaeology fanboys such as myself.
So what is the most laughable response from a 21st century trinitarian .. Right ! "Thats the Trinity" they say
Right .. and you know what is doubly funny ..is that they are quasi right in a wonky way .. such that there are various Trinities of that time .. EL - Asherah - Anat .. Father Mother - child.. this is in now way however the kind of Trinity our modern Bozo is referrign to .. and the US in the actual story involves more than 3 Gods .. albeit maybe 3 Primary Gods Anu - EL - Enki ? Father - Son - Son Trinity ? but ANU is not directly involved in the creation of man like EL and Enki .. EL - Enki - and Asherah (queen of Heaven) Brother Brother -Mother/fertility Goddess would be the actual trinity if we were to question our Babylonian friend .. but there are also lower goddesses involved . .but you could say that there were at least 3 main High Gods that were involved EL - brother Enki - fertility Goddess.. There were 14 Goddesses who were implanted with this hybrid primative earthling - God seed. 7 male .. 7 female. who then served as workers and servents .. and multiply rapidly .
Don't look at me funny .. this is not my story .. its theirs .. where they believed they came from. and later these "Adamu" .. hybrid offspring .. who have multiplied and some of the Adamu women are attractive to some of the lower Gods .. and they take them as wives .. the offspring of which we are told were the heros of old like in the Greek myths these humans with special powers .. the kernel of Truth in myth if you will.
So when you ask our Babylonian frend who the "like US" is .. will tell you that they are the creator Gods .. and we are in their image because they created us through artificial insemination of them and our other primitive earthling ancestors.
Their story .. not mine.
NOW - when you ask our Babylonian friend this YHWH - Jealous twin God is all about .. this is a story he is not familiar with .. but what will be his perspective on the Two Gods ? each with a different coventant - different set of commands.
How is this fellow going to make sense out of the story .. 1) either these are two different Gods .. the Israelites Reject Lord YHWH ... by worshiping YHWH's Father EL -- (Golden Calf incident) (and yes this is the EL of our little Creation Triad) the people break the covenant with this God - reject the commands. The people then take up another God named Jealous .. who makes a new covenant -- new set of commands.
Right ! OR -- 2) we see the other side of this two faced God .. both of which are quite nasty .. there is no "Good- Evil" dualism here .. nor is it a "Chaos Order" dualism .. it is more like Zedek dualism where two qualities or traits - justice and righteousness .. except the duality here is one of love vs hate .. the traits being the nasty sides of both .. the Israelites doomed by this God in any case .. as we learn from rest of the story.
So our Babylonian observer is going to pick one of the two .. and although I favor 2) .. I can not say for sure... Either way .. you have two Gods in play .. one with one set of commands "Words of God" .. the other with another set of commands "words of a diffrent God"
Now Jesus is the symbolic representation of "the word of God" .. the so called "Logos" emissary between man and God .. speaking Gods word directly through the Holy Sprite . Right !
the question however is .. the word of which God is he speaking ? .. and what then is that word.
1) which God ? -- Well .. it is not Lord YHWH nor LOrd Jealous .. Jesus openly violates those commands .. that covenant .. so it can't be them .. and in fact calls YHWH-Jealous .. all kinds of nasty things .. Devil - Father of lies - murderer from the beginning .. just lays into this God .. blaspheming this God all over the map .. Right !
2) So .. the good news .. is you do not need to follow the commands of the xenophobic flip flopping irrational illogical genocidal maniac a flip flopping irational God with the most petty and nasty of human traits.. to be a follower of Jesus ..
The bad news .. what are these commands we must follow to be put right with the God of Jesus ? hard to keep a covenant if we have not the faintest idea what that covenant is .. Right !
Some early Christians had a similar idea .. branding YHWH-Jealous as the demiurge.. Marcionites .. which gives us a small glimps into some possible beliefs that Jesus espoused .. Marcion was a big fanboy of Paul .. which diverges from there with my beliefs .. believing that Paul did not have a good grasp on the covenant nor the commands .. sans throwing away the old Law .. good on him for recognition of the demiurge .. just that he does not supplant the old with the new .. as Jesus does .. and this is a divide with which we cannot abide .. a fancy way of saying Paul and Jesus contradict each other. In such cases I must default to Jesus .. rather than Pauls perspective.
