Is Abraham's God based on Akhenaton's mono deity heresy?

Question

Fred-yes. I know the definition of heresy. If you read any historical books, you'd realize that ancient Egyptians worshipped a pantheon; therefore, a mono theistic religuion was heresy.
1. opinion or doctrine at variance with the orthodox or accepted doctrine, esp. of a church or religious system.

Answer 1

Many aspects of Hebrew religion are quite evidently lifted from the Egyptian and Sumerian - and later Babylonian - religions, just as many aspects of Christianity are lifted from "paganism." It is worth noting, though, that the Hebrews, although ostensibly monotheistic, were known to have worshipped many other gods, including the mother goddesses of other nations (see, e.g., the Biblical injunctions against "worshipping on high places," which refers to the worship of Ishtar or Astarte). At practically no point in their history, by the account of their own scriptures, were they ever truly faithful to the notion of One God. It was this fact upon which they blamed all their misfortunes; and thence came the whole notion of "sin," which continues to plague humanity to this day.

Answer 2

Probably. ALL faiths borrow from someone else. It to come from somewhere right? People came a long, took what they knew and added or took away from it. They borrowed symbols and beliefs. The Ten Commandments were possible borrowed from from the Book of the Dead of negative confessions. Which would makes sense since Moses was Egyptian and would need to speak to people in a way they understood, close to what they had always been taught. The Christians borrowed the Pentacle as a symbol of the five wounds of Christ. It goes on and on, so sure it makes sense it could have been based on that.

Answer 3

I don't think Abraham and Akhenaton ran in the same circles. Anyway, Akhenaton's God was the sun, and we don't get this same sort of flavor from the Torah. Take a look at the Babylonian exile and the effect of Zoroastianism on the exiled Jews.

Answer 4

Pretty much.

The Ten Commandments were likely taken from Egyptian inscriptions on Temples.

The literary decision to have Moses (and Egyptian derived name) die before entering the Promised Land had nothing to do with angering 'god', but was necessary because the character is a composite who never really traveled through the desert with a motley crew of rag tag Hebrews.

Answer 5

very stable question as many human beings do not understand this. God had already instructed Abraham that from Isaac might come a great u . s .. So, if he died that doesn't have befell. God replaced into the only which instructed Abraham to kill Isaac. That replaced right into a try of Abraham's faith in God. He handed with flying colours as he had Isaac waiting as a burnt offering and then a ram confirmed up. Jehovah God does not enable it to ensue. it is a few thing it is taken out of context for all time. to look at it with discernment is what's mandatory right here to get the factor of it. the factor is: Abraham replaced into truthful to God and replaced into keen to do in spite of He instructed him to do. we are to be comparable to we talk. not elementary i understand, yet seem how Abraham or perhaps interest replaced into examined. we produce different issues in our lives as we talk that try our faith. would all of us be so truthful because of the fact the adult males of previous have been to Jah.

Answer 6

Nope.
mono theism predates all other (other than Biblical) religions.
The earliest written record of a mono-theistic God, are from the Bible.
The source of almost all of the ideas associated with pagan doctrines come directly from ancient Babylon. After the languages were confused(Genesis 11:1-9), the people were scattered across the surface of the earth according to their language. They took with them their false religious concepts, to the entire earth. That is why the image of the cross (originally the mystic Tau-T) was present in varying forms on the American continents when the European explorers first arrived there.
Check into the book-"The Two Babylons", by the late Rev. Alexander Hislop. You will find ecxplicit information regarding this fact.




For reference of Genesis11....
Genesis 11:1 Now all the earth continued to be of one language and of one set of words. 2 And it came about that in their journeying eastward they eventually discovered a valley plain in the land of Shi´nar, and they took up dwelling there. 3 And they began to say, each one to the other: “Come on! Let us make bricks and bake them with a burning process.” So brick served as stone for them, but bitumen served as mortar for them. 4 They now said: “Come on! Let us build ourselves a city and also a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a celebrated name for ourselves, for fear we may be scattered over all the surface of the earth.”

5 And Jehovah proceeded to go down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men had built. 6 After that Jehovah said: “Look! They are one people and there is one language for them all, and this is what they start to do. Why, now there is nothing that they may have in mind to do that will be unattainable for them. 7 Come now! Let us go down and there confuse their language that they may not listen to one another’s language.” 8 Accordingly Jehovah scattered them from there over all the surface of the earth, and they gradually left off building the city. 9 That is why its name was called Ba´bel, because there Jehovah had confused the language of all the earth, and Jehovah had scattered them from there over all the surface of the earth

Answer 7

No.
Fredrick Nietzsche is wrong.
so is Picket and Prince,Tony Bushby and any of the proprietors of the The Irish Origins of Civilization (Vol 2), by Michael Tsarion ( AND his laughable beliefs of Akhenaton, the Cult of Aton)

Answer 8

Your use of the word heresy shows your lack of understanding. Do you know what the word means? Obviously not.

Answer 9

Abraham never existed. He was fabricated by Moses.

Moses was probably invented by someone else too.

Answer 10

It could also be the other way around. The Bible says Abram went into Egypt.
