Canaanite DNA disproves the Bible? Or, Canaanite DNA disproves media’s ability to read the Bible

This all happened in the old Testament, so Christians arent applicable for fault. Lose lose on appearances for Judaism, Islam and Christians.

Same God

a reply to: Butterfinger

Now that I actually think about it it is specifically bad for Christians since they are the ones selling the "god is love " narrative..

I'm sure the ISIS types love this stuff...

"See god does tell you to genocide people..."

YHWH does ordain such slaughter, but El and Jesus did not.

I thought there was a holy trinity..

Where Jesus, God and the Holy Ghost (whatever that means lol) were all actually different aspects of the same being??


But even if you don't adhere to that specific tenant..

It's still the same God..

Just because he sent his son to be tortured to death.. that wouldn't make up for the millions of women and children murdered by gods command.. by the followers of Abraham..

It really is very analogous to Islamic terror today where they believe god has ordered them to genocide any non Muslims who won't submit..

Hell it is a carbon copy of it..

How people still follow that stuff once they learn these things I will never understand.

One thing to always remember with cases like this is:

Conquering forces breed more with females of the conquered people than the conquered males do.

Their males die, are sold into slavery and so on.

Their females survive and are usually the mothers of mixed children that are later increasingly mixed into the conquering population with each successive generation.

They're all wrong...the media, the science guys, the Bible...all wrong about genetics generally.

For example:

Question: when did Neanderthal genetics go extinct?

Answer: Never.

Anything from around 1.5% - 4.0% of ALL Human DNA (based on race and location in the world) is directly inherited from Neanderthals.

So really, they didn't so much go extinct, as they did dilute their DNA and eventually become modern day Humans.

Maybe some problems exist with WHO wrote the Bible.

That is a very interesting study alone . I think Mike Heiser has a good YT vid about it but even he doesn't take up all the issues .

a reply to: Sahabi

Some believe that the Hebrew-Israelites emerged as an autonomous people from within the Canaanite people themselves. I, myself, tend to side with this hypothesis.

Agree and thanks for your input

Genocide in the Bible has a context that existed back then that we don't have today and are either not taught or taught poorly ...

a reply to: MysterX

Actually it's most Humans, but not all.

I wonder how they explain that.

Religion is the art of contradiction-at least science has a basis in reality.

But if we look at the history of science we find its also a art of contradictions . Science makes new discovery that contradicts what they thought was true ...And so it moves on from the new knowledge . The religious contradictions I have found seem to stem from my own suppositions that were in error . Not all of those came from religion but from public school or TV and culture.

I don't really see a contradiction between the two as I think you can use both to drill down to understand the underlying truth of the matter ... One recorded thing that has always intrigued me that science has not stepped in to explain is Joshua's Long Day . Now if it was just a biblical thing we could easily brush it aside but when it is documented around the world by peoples who didn't have contact with each other it really makes me think

This was a REALLY cool video. I saw it recently and it really makes you think. This deserves a thread on it's own.

I study the Bible according to linguistics, etymologies, and correspondences with comparative religion. What I was speaking of in my post was the pantheon that existed in the Land of Canaan, and the remnants of which that still exists within the Hebrew Torah and Tanakh.

There are instances in the Hebrew texts, where the deities El and YHWH are spoken of as two separate and distinct characters. This parallels the Canaanite Religion, in which the Father of the Gods "El" has 70 Sons (Bene El). This goes on to reflect itself in the Bible with YHWH acting as the God of Israel amongst the 70 Nations of Mankind.

Personally, I view the Old Testament as a distinct branch stemming from the Canaanite Religion, with the New Testament teaching Divine Mysticism.

In the Bible, El (God) began creation. Then we see YHWH (LORD God) come into the picture and inherit Jacob/Israel as His own people. It is under YHWH (LORD God), not El (God) that the Hebrew-Israelites are ordered to conquer the Land of Canaan. Jesus came as the Son of El to give us teachings of upright righteousness, in order to ascend inwardly to the Kingdom of God. The majority believe that the different Names of God are simply epithets of a singular God, however, a thorough look into the Hebrew Bible reveals many correlations with the Canaanite Religion. These parallels have been white-washed through the many theologically driven translations that we read today.

You are correct that it is a complicated subject and hard to understand , But if you are interested then spending a hour with a good scholar is well worth the time .

I don't think you are wrong in thinking that but when you throw the ancient Israelite culture into the mix you may not end up with the correct answer . just sain

Yea that is a subject that only the scholars will slug it out within their peer review process . There are probably a few different camps with differing motives ...but the truth of the matter may still come out eventually .
