I went there three times before I figured it out. Good thing I had a long stay in Paris.<br /><br />I didn't see that room so I look forward to more posts.LadyAtheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12132821431322748921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615941543485589009.post-74425292657009817212012-02-27T17:58:00.404+00:002012-02-27T17:58:00.404+00:00You're quite right to point out that there are...You're quite right to point out that there are several gods in the OT. It ought to be obvious but it isn't because we have centuries of tradition identifying lots of the different god-names as referring to the same god. Strip away that assumption and an interesting new slant on the stories begins to emerge.<br />Take, for example the story of Abraham and Isaac. God tells the old man to sacrifice the boy, then when he sees that Abraham really will do it, he says, ok, stop now. No!<br />There are two different gods here. Elohim says sacrifice the boy, but Yahweh says, no don't.<br />Still a monstrous story but very different from the traditional interpretation. But that's the one that is there in the OT for all to see if only they will read it without prior assumptions.RobCromptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05282446256418335464noreply@blogger.com
