    Poll: The best argument against God, capital G.

    Um, dude. That was found in Egypt. So what? Two groups can't imagine their seperate distinct gods on a cloud? If you'll notice they don't bring the quotes, probably because the actual ugaritic story is so different from what's written in the psalm. That showing it wouldmake it look...

    Poll: The best argument against God, capital G.

    Part II Origin of Text and Polytheism in the OT There is one Ugaritic text which seems to indicate that among the inhabitants of Ugarit, Yahweh was viewed as another son of El. KTU 1.1 IV 14 says: sm . bny . yw . ilt The name of the son of god, Yahweh. This text seems to show that Yahweh was...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    Gods and blood

    This is old and primitive...……... Yet another interesting parallel between Israel and Ugarit is the yearly ritual known as the sending out of the scapegoats ; one for god and one for a demon. The Biblical text which relates this procedure is Leviticus 16:1-34. In this text a goat is sent into...

    Ugarit and the Bible, Quartz Hill School of Theology

    The Old Testament also celebrates the enthronement of Yahweh (cf. Ps 47:9, 93:1, 96:10, 97:1 and 99:1). As in the Ugaritic myth, the purpose of Yahweh s enthronement is to re-enact creation. That is, Yahweh overcomes death by his recurring creative acts. The major difference between the...
