In the Lord's Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach

Similarities between the Neo-Assyrian Sargon Birth Legend and other infant birth exposures in ancient literature, including Moses, Karna, and Oedipus, were noted by Otto Rank in 1909. The legend was also studied in detail by Brian Lewis, and compared with a number of different examples of the infant birth exposure motif found in European and Asian folk tales. He discusses a possible archetype form, giving particular attention to the Sargon legend and the account of the birth of Moses.Joseph Campbell has also made such comparisons.

I always have a scientific approach to anything, for me its something that is very important..
You have people, that are still very scientifically illiterate in the western world..
The bible had stories about survival, it had stories that explained how to survive..
The iconic and symbolic references were extremely important..
Three creeds rose from the very simple message of how a society can thrive, the Athanasian ( Aryanism or even Lutheran) , the apostle and the Nicene.. One of these held a scientific approach and was hunted down killed and hanged, they never offered a solution to the main problem of feeding many, but they offered a explanation..
All humans are born with sin, the reference is that in your brain there is something called a reptilian cortex, it has a sprout and an eye, it even looks like a shrimp.. The research on this topic is extensive, there are thousands of papers on this very subject explaining in areas as sociology and anthropology.. The sin is called evolution of when we were evolved from simple creatures, a system made to thrive in a hostile environment..
The main aspect of survival is food, one institution offered this, and quoted it in the bible for people that place their fate within a institution that can feed them..
In the Lord's Prayer, the first petition is for daily bread. No one can worship God or love his neighbor on an empty stomach
Human on a empty stomach will turn into something which can be called a monster.. The Institutions of the equator learned about how to build a neolithic society with a simple farmers calendar called the southern cross..
Then Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain and said, “This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel
Moses is based on a character that lived thousands of years ago, a warlord called Sargon.. He and the sumerian culture built the first "western" world observatory in Babylon..
You can use the same star constellation or even use the same for having a working farmers almanac..

The bible in its format called the New Testament offers people a gift if they follow Christ.. The old testament offered the practice and the solution..

You say Yahweh like that imposter demon is really God. Even in ancient times he was not believed by the Israelites as Most High God. That is shown in Deuteronomy where Yahweh is a Son of El who receives Israel as an inheritance and is not the Most High El Elyon.
El is God Most High, Yahweh is god of Israel. You need to get a better translation than the NIV or KJV or drop whatever it is that has caused this fact to escape you.
Not being a * just telling you what I have learned and personally know to be a fact.
Because evil is a product of human behavior, not a principal inherent in the cosmos.

Humans are not evil nor good, humans are primates from the animal kingdom.. Evil and Good is a reference to Gods creation in society, morals, dogmas and values.. These set of rules are used in less evolved societies..
There is a certain genome, called the I1 haplogroup, in northern europe ( scandinavia )link
It maybe could reference to how the behavior or stereotypes are, maybe we are less willing to interact cause, well, its genetic trademarks..
In my book religion offers the foundation of any society many would disagree, but it gave us everything we have today..
If i place an atheist alone in the woods, he would never survive..

I know Yahweh was not identified with nature, Yahweh transcended nature; and Yahweh wasn’t known through nature or natural phenomena. Yahweh was known through history, events and a particular relationship with a man, which Yahweh formed from the dust of the earth. It is from this point of view I know Yahweh, but understand who El is too.
Could being created in the image of El have something to do with the topic of this thread? Being created in the image of God means that we must view ourselves as intrinsically valuable and richly invested with meaning, potentially and responsibilities. We are to be and to do on a finite scale, what God is and does on an infinite scale.
By virtue of being created in the image of God, human beings are capable of reflecting his character in their own life; animals possess none of these qualities. What distinguishes people from animals is the fact that human nature inherently has godlike possibilities.
Omniscience, omnipotence, or omnipresence, none of these other divine attributes have been ascribed to the human race as part of the image of God. We have been created to reflect God in our thinking and actions, but the physical sustained by God and dependent upon him for our existence in this world and in the world to come. Developing a godly character in this present life, this will be our personal identity in the world to come. It is the character or personality that we have developed in this life, that God preserves in his memory.

I personally find it humorous that you actually believe the lie yo just spouted. Is it true that "Jesus" spoke the words of the OT verbatim? Ok, sure, but the guy also equated Yahweh w ith his own enemy, saying that It was father of all lies for there is no truth in him, direct quote from the time he squared off with the Pharisees. It truly does not matter if the guy was real or fake, the point is that most priests (in whatever religion) these days STILL talk like that, all arrogant and self-absorbed. They think they have the only fountain to knowledge and that's that. A bunch of a-holes is what they are.

Hebrews is written by Paul/Saul the Apostolic reject not recognized by Christ himself EVEN in the book of Revelation. You would think a book of that title would confirm his dubious claims. It doesn't. Consider the source you are quoting.

Whoever actually wrote it, it is his name that gets the credit.
