"Holy thought stopping reflex triggered Batman" -- "Circular fallacy Robin .. not a foundation for mucy" - hoping you remember the old Batman and Robin TV series

.. OK -- so you do not trust any source other than the Bible about History.... Got it... that's wierd .. but the source you were given is the Bible .. so you are saying you do not believe the Bible as a source .. and you don't trust other sources. Do you not find somethign wrong with your logic Brother Muffl ?

Let us try this again .. Psalm 82 .. verse 1:

God -YHWH stands in[b] the assembly of El;[c] in the midst of the gods[d] he renders judgment.[e]
________________

OK ? you understand ... The source is the Bible .. Psalm 82 is from the Jewish Bible .. a song sung in the Temple of YHWH - 900 BC ...celebrating YHWH's victory over the other sons of the Most High

The Most High God being referred to is the Chief God of the Assembly of EL -- like Zeus in the Greek Pantheon cept in the heavens .. ot high on the mountain although EL has a Tent there where he resides .. or resided .. as YHWH is the Chief God on Earth and it is he that sits in that Chair.. .. much of which we learn from other sources but .. we don't care because the Assembly of EL is mentioned in the Bible .. El - Most high God of the Canaanite Pantheon during Abe's time .. as the Bible tells us .. and further explained in the Bible Footnote

The phrase עֲדַת אֵל (ʿadat ʾel, “assembly of El”) appears only here in the OT. (1) Some understand “El” to refer to God himself. In this case he is pictured presiding over his own heavenly assembly. (2) Others take אֵל as a superlative here (“God stands in the great assembly”), as in Pss 36:6 and 80:10. (3) The present translation assumes this is a reference to the Canaanite high god El, who presided over the Canaanite divine assembly. (See Isa 14:13, where El’s assembly is called “the stars of El.”) In the Ugaritic myths the phrase ʿdt ʾilm refers to the “assembly of the gods,” who congregate in King Kirtu’s house, where Baal asks El to bless Kirtu’s house (see G. R. Driver, Canaanite Myths and Legends, 91). If the Canaanite divine assembly is referred to here in Ps 82:1, then the psalm must be understood as a bold polemic against Canaanite religion. Israel’s God invades El’s assembly, denounces its gods as failing to uphold justice, and announces their coming demise. For an interpretation of the psalm along these lines, see W. VanGemeren, “Psalms,” EBC 5:533-36.
----------------------------

So .. what is it that you don't find in the bible .. as all of the Above footnote related to the Assembly of EL .. in the Bible .. explains that this is the Canaanite High God EL who is presiding over the Assembly in which Lord YHWH standeth .. and it is EL who is the Most High God .. the sons of which YHWH defeats .. gaining the position of Most High God over the Earth.


Psalms 82:8 Rise up, O God, and execute judgment on the earth! For you own[q] all the nations.

I do remember The Batman tv series and sometimes stream it.

In God I trust. Historians tended to grind their own axe.

I can understand as a Christian you would prefer "who" as the descriptive and to apply it retrospectively. My opinion is it would be a better literal translation, but not contextually accurate as God (not a person).

I think the best literal translation is "what", meaning "I am what I am", which is an equally porous descriptive as "who", given it reduces the God concept to an object.

In the end, "that" is the best contextual translation, since it neither personifies nor objectifies the divine, at least from a non-Christian perspective. Even then, calling God such a name still sounds...vulgar, nevertheless there is a "street-art" type beauty when the name is displayed as the tetragrammaton.

Like an ancient Mona Lisa, starring back at you from every angle. TO be seen, not heard.

I believe that is false in so many ways, God is in three persons for the purpose of the Trinity and a fourth more anonymously.

Your own ignorance is profound.
