God/Yahweh/Allah I BELIEVE started as volcanic activity

You're kidding right? Are you seriously saying there is NO indication the Hebrews believed volcanic activity was a god? You've read all the verses I've posted and you still cannot recognise the description of a volcano amongst them? You do realise that the word 'volcano' does not appear in the Bible. Could the terms 'mountain of god' and 'most high' be refering to volcanoes? Of course!! Along with the obvious volcano verses, those names for god make perfect sense.
Of course we cannot know for sure. I've said this myself before. But that does not mean we cannot make logical and educated guesses based on the information we can scrape together. I'm not only putting the volcano possibility to you but the possibility the Exodus happened and that other stories in the Bible might be based partially on facts. Of course the Bible is full of metaphors but what I'm saying is that those metaphors must refer to something real.
What could horses and chariots be refering to? Tumbling clouds of volcanic ash. Stories about god destroying towns and winning battles can be trimmed down to being towns being destroyed by volcanic eruptions.
That gives the game away. The Bible is telling you that metaphors are used. Once you believe this you will have the ability to literally see through the ******** and to the reality. It's just a matter of taking away the magical thinking and exposing the truth.
I think it's far more far fetched to believe the Bible is entirely fabricated. Why on earth would anyone write all that rubbish about how to sacrifice animals if animal sacrifice never happened? That does not make for good fiction. More like a butchers' manual.
Common sense is needed and a lack of pedantry. Yes, if you choose to ignore everything just because it's not been 'peer reviewed' or stamped with a big red stamp by someone 'professional' then so be it but I think that is being a bit....
It at least deserves further investigation and as far as I am aware no peer is doing this right now so how about everyone here do the hard work rather than wait to be told what the result is?

The author of this article also believes it was a volcano mentioned in Exodus and that volcanic activity is behind many 'gods'.

might add that parts of yahwey can be traced back to storm related material. [only by estomology]
not volcanic in any way shape or form.

no one doubts man created volcanic besed deities.
there is how ever no tie to elohim or yahwey as being volcanic based, only mountain based for one of the two

Please go through this entire thread, read all my posts and note all my Biblical verses at the ends of many of my posts and then let me know if it could be inferred that Yahweh was valcanic. That goes for anyone else.

It's very rude to butt into a debate with one-liners that prove you have not read the thread.

The author of this article is a Christian of sorts but he recognises the volcano link......definitely worth a read.....not read anything other than the first part as I'm sticking to topic for now.

What you don't seem to realize is that we can't just use scriptural verses to determine what was going on at the time. Like I said, if we could confirm good volcanic activity in that area at that time, then you might have something. But there is no actual indication beyond the verses you've provided, and as a result, the best we can objectively say is that those verses are poetry; i.e., hyperbole and metaphor.

You have got to be kidding! Have you followed all my posts? I can't believe you've looked at all of them because I've talked about the Jordan Rift Valley and Saudi being full of seismic activity. Only last year Saudi experienced 30 000 earthquakes due to magma pushing upwards! The whole place is a magma hotbed.

P.s. why do you comment after I post articles when you've obviously not had time to read the article? It took me a good hour to read that first part but you posted your comment after it was here for five minutes. How do you expect me to combat that kind of preference for ignorance?

doesnt matter, no volcanic activity took place in the time of the composition of the collection of OT scripts.
with your shoddy work here, you blatantly discount all modern scholarship on a poorly formed opinion.

Posted again because it seems some people never noticed it.....
Then why have you, an amateur, noticed this while scholars, who spend their entire lives, nay, make their livings off of, studying these matters, determining the origins of religion, never notice these?
Have you considered that they already considered this option, and ruled it out as unlikely?
I notice your most often posting from Wikipedia. While the site has gotten WAY better than when it started, that's hardly reliable scholarship.
First of all, you claim that, essentially, Mount Sinai was a volcano. The thing is, it's actually not known where Mount Sinai may have been located. Let's assume, for a moment, that the exodus did historically happen, roughly as it was described in the Bible.
You're constantly pointing out volcanoes in Saudi Arabia, but you seem to forget that the Israelites never ended up in Saudi Arabia; the currently most accepted route is along the coast of the Sinai Penninsula. Here's the map from one of the links you have:
Look at the locations of the only three volcanoes. Now, compare those to the accepted possible route:
Notice how the route NEVER ONCE goes into the Arabian peninsula, let alone anywhere near those volcanoes.
Also, notice how, at the location of Mount Sinai, there's a question mark next to it, and in parenthesis, the word "Horeb". That is the most likely place according to my research. AND, according to my research, there is no real volcanic activity on the Sinai Peninsula, nor has there ever been.

Proving once again you're posting on a thread you've not read.
Research Santorini....Thera....the biggest eruption in recorded history. Just North of Egypt. It was so destruction it ended a Chinese dynsaty.

You've not read all my posts.
Have a look at how many question marks there are along that route. That route is fabricated to hide the truth. I have already stated in this thread that there are no volcanoes in either Egypt or Sinai. That is probably why Mount Sinai was pegged where it was....to fudge the facts further. Read the Bible. It says very clearly Mount Sinai was in Midian and Midian is now Saudi! I made a whole post on this and included several verses that demonstate Mt Sinai and the Hebrews were in North Western Saudi.

Sorry...wiki again. If you're not happy with that very clear message then do your own research because I'm off to bed. My head hurts!
