Is YHVH Equal To Brahma or Brahman?

Yah-Avah was seen by Moses; when Yah-Avah was known as EL he ate food with Abraham.

So is Yah-Avah more like Brahma creator of the universe; yet not ultimate manifestor of reality (Brahman), as he clearly has physical attributes.

What do you think is YHVH Equal To Brahma or Brahman? :innocent:

Definitely not Brahma, who is a trinity god in the material platform of existence.

Closer to Brahman as this the non-personal aspect of God. The personal aspect is called Ishwara (or Bhavagan). If Yah-Avah can be seen and is personal, I would say he/it is most similar to Bhagavan.

The Brahmakumari perspective is that
!. The Supreme Soul , people refer to as YHVH or Allah or God , His actual name is SHIV , who is incorporeal , a point of light , and The Father of all Souls.
2. Brahma is the first man , Adam through whom establishment of the new world takes place , and his first children are referred to as Brahmin, the first mouth born creation ( unlike the caste in Hinduism)
3. Brahmand is the incorporeal soul world , which is the residence of all souls , including the Supreme Soul from where they come down to play their parts on this earth.

Yes because no god exists, imo.

Yes. All gods worshipped/revered by man are different aspects of the same God.

Equality or difference is seen from the attributes of the name of God.

Judaism people should tell the attributes of YHVH and prove that these attributes have been clearly mentioned by Moses and have been recorded and illustrated in Torah.

For Brahma or Brahman etc , the Dharmic people (or Hinduism Religions, as these are many), should tell the attributes of Brahma or Brahman and prove that these attributes have been clearly mentioned in Veda/s and have been recorded and illustrated in Veda/s.

Let us see it , if they come forward. Please

It is a silly idea. You cannot presume to understand this word in their scripture which isn't even in English and then just equate it to something from five thousand miles away and expect it to be taken seriously. Its like if I take the word 'Krishna' and start insisting it is equal to the Sun, because everyone really worships the Sun when they worship.

Neither. It is a Jewish concept and has no equivalent in Hinduism. Next you'll claim that Christians are Hindus. We aren't.
(Or Hindus are Christians)

I totally concur with this. Apples aren't oranges. The streets of San Francisco aren't the streets of Jerusalem or Madurai. Trying to find parallels where none exist ... far easier just to love your neighbour as he is. Own a bird and a dog, love them both, but enough already with their differences or similarities.

Really feel sorry for any who find such divide...

There is only one Heaven, there is only one reality; with one being sustaining it, and you think books trying to explain it from different cultures are so far apart, they're talking about completely different realities, and then claim that to be the most logical. :rolleyes:

It is like when the Day of the Lord (Mahapralaya) happens, and you're like you're not the God i followed in my book. :oops:

Wake up, there is only One. :innocent:

The attributes will let us know the differences as well as similarities.

But of course. The challenge is to view the attributes from an unbiased dispassionate POV. Else it is mere opinion on what those attributes are. The bird in the tree only sees the leaves and limbs, but the vole under the ground only sees roots. Still it is the same tree. Only the human observing both the bird and the vole can view it with any degree of completeness.

Brahman as pure consciousness is impersonal.

Ishwara or Saguna Brahman (Brahman with attributes) is personal, and that is similar to Yahweh.

Speak for your own illogical thinking.... As a theologian I've got respect for each religion in its own contexts, without needing to mix them up.

If the first thing you have to do is start slandering concepts, this is normally associated with Trollism, not Hinduism; which sadly you've then led others into. :(

There is only One reality. :innocent:
