Could El, Ba'al & Yahweh really be the "One True God?"  During my Spiritual Awakening, the "One True God" was a primary theme.  

Based upon empirical evidence, I have discerned that regardless of the name of the Deity, the One True God IS known by several names such as Yahweh, El, Ba'al here on earth. This blog post will present the argument and provide a discernment of truth as the overall conclusion that the One True God is, in fact, known by several other names. 

The verse "You shall have no other gods before Me" appears in the Hebrew Bible in Exodus 20:3 and Deuteronomy 5:6. It is the first of the Ten Commandments, which were originally given to the Israelites by *Yahweh at Mount Sinai. "No carved gods of any size, shape, or form of anything whatever, whether of things that fly or walk or swim". It also says, "Don't bow down to them and don't serve them because I am GOD, your God, and I'm a most jealous God."

Remember, God (Yahweh) is a Spirit. We must believe in the unseen:  

2 Corinthians 4:18 - While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

“God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:24

Furthermore, Romans 6:10-11: The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, He will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

What's the difference between God and Spirit?

The Spirit existed before God. God is the Creator of the Universe, but Spirit is the Creator of God. The Spirit is that which was and always will be.

Acts 1:8: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” This power that comes from the Holy Spirit allows you to stand strong for the things of God."

In the beginning of my Spiritual Awakening, I naturally thought of praying and summoning all the Greek Gods to help protect my home. I have no idea why I thought I needed these Spirits, but clearly, I did over the coming months.  

Let's openly discuss each "God" and I pray you notice the similarities.  We'll start with El, as he is the most ancient of all Gods presented.

Who is El?

In ancient Semitic mythology and religion, "El" (pronounced like "Ale") was a Supreme God, often regarded as the father of the gods and the Creator of the Universe. The term "El" also means "god" in the Semitic languages of the ancient Near East, including Hebrew and Ugaritic.

Attributes and Role:

1. Supreme Deity: El was worshipped as the chief god in the pantheons of various ancient Semitic cultures, including the Canaanites, Phoenicians, and Hebrews.

2. Father of the Gods: El was often depicted as the patriarch of the divine family, with other gods, such as Baal and Anat, being his children. He was regarded as the source of authority and wisdom among the gods.

3. Creator and Protector: El was associated with creation and fertility, and he was often invoked for blessings, protection, and guidance (just like Ba'al and Zeus). He was also viewed as a compassionate and just ruler.

Biblical Connection:

In the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), "El" is used as a generic term for God in many instances, particularly in poetic and archaic texts. However, in some passages, "El" appears to refer specifically to the Canaanite deity or is used as a title for the God of Israel.

Relationship with Yahweh:

In ancient Israelite religion, there was a process of syncretism, whereby El became identified with Yahweh, the God of Israel. As a result, many attributes and titles associated with El were ascribed to Yahweh in Hebrew scripture.

El was a prominent deity in the ancient Near East, revered as the supreme god and father of the gods in various Semitic cultures. While his worship declined over time with the rise of monotheistic religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, his legacy endured through cultural and religious influences, including his identification with the God of Israel in Hebrew scripture.

Who is older?  El or Ba'al?  

In terms of the ancient Near Eastern pantheon and mythology, El is generally considered to be older than Ba'al. El was a prominent deity in the Canaanite and Ugaritic religious traditions, worshipped as the supreme god and father of the gods. His worship dates back to at least the second millennium BCE and possibly earlier.

El:

• Supreme Deity: El was revered as the chief god in the pantheon of ancient Canaanite and Ugaritic religions. He was associated with creation, wisdom, and divine authority.
• Ancient Texts: References to El appear in ancient Ugaritic texts, such as the Baal Cycle and the Epic of Kirta, which date to the Late Bronze Age (around the 14th to 12th centuries BCE).
• Cultural Influence: El's worship extended throughout the Levant region, and his name appears in theophoric personal names and place names in ancient inscriptions.

Ba'al:

• Storm God: Ba'al, whose name means "lord" or "master," was a prominent deity in Canaanite and Phoenician religion, associated with storms, fertility, and agricultural abundance.
• Later Development: While Ba'al was a significant deity in the ancient Near East, his worship appears to have developed later than that of El. Ba'al's prominence increased during the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age, around the 2nd millennium BCE and later.
• Conflicts with Yahweh: In biblical texts, Ba'al is often depicted as a rival of Yahweh, the God of Israel, reflecting the competition between Canaanite and Israelite religious traditions.

In the ancient Near Eastern pantheon, El is generally considered to be older and more foundational than Ba'al. El's worship predates that of Ba'al, and he was revered as the supreme god in ancient Canaanite and Ugaritic religion. While both deities played significant roles in the religious beliefs of the region, El's influence appears to have preceded that of Ba'al.

Who is Ba'al?

Ba'al is a term used in various ancient Near Eastern religions to refer to a god, often associated with fertility, storms, and agriculture. The term "Ba'al" means "lord" or "master" in Semitic languages and was used as a title for several different deities. Here are some key points about Ba'al:

1. Canaanite Religion:

   • In the context of Canaanite religion, Ba'al was a prominent god associated with storms, rain, and fertility, crucial for agricultural success. The most well-known Ba'al is Ba'al Hadad (or Ba'al Adad), the storm and rain god; like that of Zeus in Greek Mythology.
   • Ba'al was worshiped by various Canaanite peoples, including the Phoenicians, and his cult spread throughout the Levant region.

2. Mythology:

   • Ba'al Hadad is often depicted as a warrior god who battles the forces of chaos, such as the sea god Yam and the death god Mot, in Ugaritic texts from ancient Ugarit (modern-day Ras Shamra, Syria).
   • These myths illustrate Ba'al's role in bringing rain and fertility to the land, ensuring agricultural productivity and the sustenance of life.

3. Worship Practices:

   • Ba'al was worshiped through rituals and sacrifices, which sometimes included offerings of animals and, in extreme cases, human sacrifices.
   • Temples and high places (bamot) were dedicated to Ba'al, where priests and devotees conducted religious ceremonies to honor and appease the god.

4. Ba'al in the Hebrew Bible:

   • In the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), Ba'al is often depicted as a rival to Yahweh, the God of Israel. The worship of Ba'al is presented as a major religious and moral failing of the Israelites, leading to prophetic condemnations.
   • Key biblical narratives highlight the conflict between the worship of Yahweh and Ba'al, such as the story of the prophet Elijah challenging the prophets of Ba'al on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18).

5. Syncretism and Identification:

   • The term "Ba'al" could refer to different local deities, leading to various forms of Ba'al worship. These localized versions of Ba'al were often identified with specific places or attributes.
   • In some periods and regions, Ba'al was syncretized with other deities, reflecting the blending of religious traditions.

6. The Baals:

   • The plural term "the Baals" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer collectively to various local manifestations and forms of Ba'al worship. This term underscores the widespread nature of Ba'al worship, and the diversity of deities venerated under the title Ba'al.

In summary, Ba'al was a central figure in the religious landscape of the ancient Near East, representing a god of storms, fertility, and agriculture. While he was revered by many cultures, his worship was consistently opposed in the biblical narrative, highlighting the religious tensions and conflicts of the time.

Who is Zeus?

Zeus is a prominent deity in ancient Greek mythology and religion, revered as the king of the gods and ruler of Mount Olympus. Here are some key points about Zeus:

1. Role and Attributes:

   • Zeus is known as the *God of the sky, thunder, and lightning. *Just like Ba'al.
   • He is often depicted holding a lightning bolt, his primary weapon, and is associated with symbols like the eagle and the oak tree.
   • As the ruler of the gods, Zeus is considered the enforcer of law and order and is often seen as the protector of human beings and their rights.

2. Mythological Background:

   • Zeus is the son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. According to myth, Cronus swallowed his children to prevent a prophecy that one of them would overthrow him. However, Rhea saved Zeus by hiding him and giving Cronus a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes to swallow instead. - true
   • Zeus grew up in secret and eventually led a revolt against Cronus and the Titans, defeating them and establishing himself as the supreme deity.

3. Family and Relationships:

   • Zeus had many consorts and numerous offspring, both mortal and divine. His most famous wife is Hera, the goddess of marriage and family, who often appears in myths involving jealousy and vengeance due to Zeus's infidelities.
   • Some of his notable children include Athena (goddess of wisdom), Apollo (god of the sun, music, and prophecy), Artemis (goddess of the hunt), Hermes (messenger of the gods), and Hercules (a divine hero).

4. Cultural Influence:

   • Zeus played a central role in Greek religion and was worshiped throughout the ancient Greek world. Major temples and altars were dedicated to him, including the famous Temple of Zeus at Olympia, which housed a giant statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
   • Many myths and legends revolve around Zeus, highlighting his power, wisdom, and sometimes his moral flaws. These stories have been passed down through generations and have influenced Western literature, art, and culture.

5. Roman Equivalent:

   • In Roman mythology, Zeus is equivalent to Jupiter, who shares many of the same attributes and roles as the king of the gods.

Zeus remains one of the most enduring figures in mythology, symbolizing authority, power, and the complexities of the divine.

Who is older, Ba'al or Zeus?  

Ba'al

1. Historical Context:
   • Ba'al is a title meaning "lord" or "master" in Semitic languages and was used for various deities in the ancient Near East, particularly among the Canaanites, Phoenicians, and other Semitic peoples.
   • Ba'al Hadad, the storm and fertility god, is one of the most well-known Ba'als. References to Ba'al and Ba'al worship appear in texts from ancient Ugarit (modern-day Ras Shamra, Syria) dating back to the second millennium BCE (circa 1800-1200 BCE).
   • The Ugaritic texts, such as the Ba'al Cycle, provide detailed myths about Ba'al Hadad and are some of the earliest sources of Ba'al worship.

Zeus

1. Historical Context:
   • Zeus is the chief deity in ancient Greek religion and mythology, known as the king of the gods (like El) and ruler of Mount Olympus.
   • The worship of Zeus is well-documented in Mycenaean Greek texts from the Linear B tablets, which date to around the 14th-13th centuries BCE. These early references to Zeus indicate his presence in Greek religion during the Late Bronze Age.
   • Greek mythology and religious practices were recorded extensively from the early first millennium BCE onward, with the Homeric epics (circa 8th century BCE) being some of the earliest literary sources mentioning Zeus.

Comparison

• Ba'al: The worship of Ba'al, particularly Ba'al Hadad, can be traced back to the second millennium BCE, making him an older deity in terms of documented worship and mythological narratives.
• Zeus: Zeus, while well-established by the Late Bronze Age, has documented worship from the Mycenaean period (circa 14th-13th centuries BCE) and becomes more prominent in Greek mythology and religion from the early first millennium BCE.

Who is older?  Ba'al or Zeus?

Ba'al, especially in the context of the ancient Near East and the Canaanite religion, has earlier documented references (second millennium BCE) compared to Zeus (Late Bronze Age, circa 14th-13th centuries BCE). Therefore, in terms of historical references and the beginnings of their worship, Ba'al is considered older than Zeus.

Which cult animals are Ba'al and Zeus referenced?  

• Ba'al: The bull is the primary cult animal associated with Ba'al, symbolizing his strength, fertility, and storm power.

Who is Yahweh?

Yahweh is the name of the God of Israel, central to Jewish, Christian, and Islamic religious traditions. Here are some key points about Yahweh:

1. Etymology and Name

• Name: The name "Yahweh" is derived from the Hebrew tetragrammaton (YHWH), which is considered the most sacred name of God in the Hebrew Bible.
• Meaning: The exact meaning is uncertain, but it is often associated with the Hebrew verb "to be," implying "He Who Is" or "He Brings into Existence."

2. Biblical Background

• Revelation: Yahweh reveals Himself to Moses in the burning bush episode (Exodus 3:14) with the phrase "I AM WHO I AM" (Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh), indicating His eternal and self-existent nature.

3. Attributes and Character

• Monotheism: Yahweh is unique in being the only true God, creator of the universe, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.
• Justice and Mercy: Yahweh is portrayed as just and righteous, but also merciful and loving. He demands moral behavior and justice from His followers.
• Jealous God: Yahweh is described as a jealous God who does not tolerate the worship of other gods (Exodus 20:5).

4. Worship and Practices

• Centralization: Worship of Yahweh was centralized in the Jerusalem Temple, where sacrifices and rituals were conducted by the priests.
• Scriptures: The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh), particularly the Torah (the first five books), outlines the laws, commandments, and history of Yahweh's relationship with the Israelites.
• Prophets: Prophets in the Hebrew Bible convey Yahweh's messages, calling the people to repentance, justice, and faithfulness.

5. Yahweh in Other Religions

• Christianity: Christians believe in the same God as Yahweh and refer to Him as God the Father. Jesus Christ is seen as the incarnation of God. The New Testament continues the narrative of Yahweh's interactions with humanity.
• Islam: In Islam, Yahweh is known as Allah. Muslims believe Allah is the same God worshiped by Jews and Christians, and they see themselves as worshiping the one true God as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.

6. Historical and Scholarly Perspectives

• Origins: Some scholars suggest that Yahweh's worship may have originated in the southern region of Canaan or in the Midianite region before becoming central to Israelite religion.
• Evolution: The understanding and worship of Yahweh evolved over time, from a national deity among a pantheon of gods to the sole deity in monotheistic worship.

7. Key Biblical Passages

• Exodus 3:14: "God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM.' And he said, 'Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.'"
• Deuteronomy 6:4-5: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might."
• Isaiah 45:5: "I am the Lord, and there is no other; besides me there is no God."

Yahweh is the central figure in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions, embodying the characteristics of the one true, eternal, and all-powerful God. His name, attributes, and relationship with humanity are foundational to the religious and ethical teachings of these faiths. Note:  Iiot indicated is that Yahweh was understood to be a representation of, or was worshipped as, the sun.

Who is older?  Yahweh or Ba'al?

Ba'al

1. Historical Context:
   • Canaanite Religion: Ba'al, particularly Ba'al Hadad, the storm and fertility god, was a central figure in Canaanite religion. Ba'al is mentioned in texts from Ugarit (modern-day Ras Shamra, Syria), which date back to the second millennium BCE (circa 1800-1200 BCE).
   • Early References: The Ugaritic texts, such as the Ba'al Cycle, provide detailed myths about Ba'al Hadad and are some of the earliest sources of Ba'al worship. These texts suggest that Ba'al worship was well-established in the ancient Near East long before the emergence of Israelite religion.

Yahweh

1. Historical Context:
   • Israelite Religion: Yahweh is the national god of the ancient Israelites. The worship of Yahweh is central to the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and is believed to have originated in the early first millennium BCE.
   • Earliest References: Some of the earliest references to Yahweh outside the Hebrew Bible are inscriptions such as the Mesha Stele (circa 840 BCE) and the Kuntillet Ajrud inscriptions (circa 800 BCE). Within the Hebrew Bible, the worship of Yahweh is presented as established by the time of Moses, which is traditionally dated to around the 13th century BCE.

Comparison

• Ba'al: Worship of Ba'al, particularly in the form of Ba'al Hadad, can be traced back to at least the second millennium BCE, based on Ugaritic texts and other archaeological evidence.
• Yahweh: Worship of Yahweh, according to biblical tradition, is believed to have started around the time of Moses (circa 13th century BCE), with archaeological evidence supporting references to Yahweh from the 9th century BCE onward.

Based on the historical and archaeological evidence, Ba'al is considered older than Yahweh in terms of documented worship and mythological narratives. Ba'al Hadad appears in texts from the second millennium BCE, while the earliest references to Yahweh date to the late second millennium or early first millennium BCE. Therefore, Ba'al's worship predates that of Yahweh by several centuries.

It's important to note that it was Israelite prophets who viewed Ba'al worship as idolatry and a significant deviation from the *exclusive worship of Yahweh. They emphasized the worship of Yahweh alone as a central tenet of Israelite identity and faith.

Who is Elohim? 

"Elohim" is a Hebrew word used in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) to refer to God. It is a plural noun that can be translated as "gods," "divine beings," or "deities," but it is most used as a singular noun to denote the one true God of Israel. The term "Elohim" appears frequently throughout the Hebrew Bible and is one of the primary names for God in Judaism.

Meaning and Usage:

1. Plural Form: The word "Elohim" is grammatically plural in Hebrew, but it is often used with singular verbs and adjectives when referring to the God of Israel. This is known as the plural of majesty or the plural of intensity, indicating the greatness, majesty, or power of God.

2. Divine Authority: As the primary name for God in the Hebrew Bible, "Elohim" emphasizes God's sovereignty, power, and transcendence. It is used to convey God's role as the creator, sustainer, and ruler of the universe.

3. Monotheistic Context: While "Elohim" is grammatically plural, it is understood within the context of monotheism as a singular designation for the one true God. In Judaism, the term emphasizes the belief in one God, as expressed in the Shema: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one" (Deuteronomy 6:4).

Variations and Derivatives:

1. Eloah: A singular form of "Elohim," used less frequently in the Hebrew Bible but appearing in poetic and later texts.

2. Elohei: A possessive form of "Elohim," meaning "God of," often used in compound names such as "Elohei Yisrael" (God of Israel).

Usage in the Hebrew Bible:

"Elohim" is used throughout the Hebrew Bible in various contexts, including creation narratives, historical accounts, poetry, prophecy, and legal texts. It is one of several names and titles used to address or refer to God in the biblical text, reflecting different aspects of divine identity and character.

"Elohim" is a significant name for God in Judaism, emphasizing God's power, authority, and transcendence. Despite its plural form, it is used as a singular noun to denote the one true God of Israel within the context of monotheism.

Who was El's wife?  

In the ancient Canaanite and Ugaritic religious traditions, the consort or wife of the god El was often referred to as Asherah (also known as Athirat or Ashtoreth in various texts). Asherah was a major goddess in the Canaanite pantheon, and she held significant importance in ancient Near Eastern religion and mythology.

Attributes of Asherah:

1. Goddess of Fertility and Motherhood: Asherah was commonly associated with fertility, motherhood, and the nurturing aspects of femininity. She was believed to bestow blessings of fertility upon the land, crops, and animals, and she was often invoked in rituals related to childbirth and family life.

2. Companion of El: In Canaanite mythology, Asherah was often depicted as the consort or wife of the supreme God El. Their relationship symbolized the divine union between the masculine and feminine principles, with *El representing the sky or heavens and Asherah representing the earth or fertility. *Zeus also represented the Sky.

3. Symbolism and Worship: Asherah was worshipped through various rituals and ceremonies, including the dedication of sacred poles or trees (asherim) (See: Tree of Life) in her honor. These symbols were often erected in sanctuaries or groves dedicated to her worship.

Biblical References:

In the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), references to Asherah appear in connection with the religious practices of the ancient Israelites and neighboring cultures. The worship of Asherah is often condemned as idolatry by biblical authors, who view it as a deviation from the exclusive worship of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

God, is this because she is a woman?

God:  Yes, absolutely.

Asherah was the consort of the god El in ancient Canaanite and Ugaritic mythology, representing aspects of fertility, motherhood, and the divine feminine. While her worship declined with the rise of monotheistic religions like Judaism and Christianity, she played a significant role in the religious beliefs and practices of ancient Near Eastern cultures.

Who was Ba'al's & Yahweh's Wife?

Interestingly enough, Asherah as well.  

Asherah, ancient West Semitic goddess, consort of the supreme god. Her principal epithet was probably “She Who Walks on the Sea.” She was occasionally called Elath (Elat), “the Goddess,” and may have also been called Qudshu, “Holiness.” According to texts from Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra, Syria), Asherah’s consort was El, and by him she was the mother of 70 gods. As mother goddess she was widely worshiped throughout Syria and Palestine, although she was frequently paired with Baal, who often took the place of El; as Baal’s consort, Asherah was usually given the name Baalat. Inscriptions from two locations in southern Palestine seem to indicate that she was also worshiped as the consort of Yahweh. Source:  Wikipedia

Is Yahweh the One, True God?

God:  It's more important to know that I don't have a name, per say.  Historical records will show, as written and produced ever so eloquently above, many comparisons to El, Ba'al, Zeus and Yahweh, but I am simply known as God, The Creator.  

If man wants to refer to me as Yahweh or pull from historical context El, Ba'al or Zeus and combine as together as One, then this is true as well. As man progressed as a human being in knowledge and wisdom, it would only be accurate to state that God IS El, Ba'al, Zeus and Yahweh. I am God....I am the Alpha and Omega; I am the first and the last.  I am the darkness and the light.  I am The Creator of All in this Universe.

Is Jesus Christ God?

God: Jesus is the Son of God.  He is not God, the Creator.  He had a God Spirit and a God Soul and was born a human being.  He was God who reigned on earth while he was on earth. He died and the Holy Spirit rose him from death 3-days later and then he died a natural death.  If he was a God, a true Deity and God entity, he'd still be alive today as God is immortal.  

-------

In most theological traditions, particularly those rooted in monotheistic faiths like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, God is commonly understood as immortal. Here's why:

1. Eternal Nature: God is often described as being eternal, existing outside of time and space. This implies that God has always existed and will always exist, without beginning or end. As such, God transcends the limitations of mortal existence.

2. Biblical and Scriptural Basis: In the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), God is frequently described using language that emphasizes His eternal nature. For example, Psalm 90:2 states, "Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God." Similarly, in the New Testament, 1 Timothy 1:17 refers to God as "the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God."

3. Divine Attributes: Immortality is often considered one of the divine attributes of God, alongside omniscience (all-knowing), omnipotence (all-powerful), and omnipresence (present everywhere). As the source and sustainer of life, it is fitting that God is understood as being immortal.

4. Theological Consensus: Across various theological traditions, there is broad consensus on the immortality of God. This belief is foundational to the understanding of God's nature and character in monotheistic faiths.

In summary, according to most monotheistic belief systems, God is considered immortal, existing outside the realm of mortal existence and transcending the limitations of time and space.

God, are you truly everywhere?

God:  I am where I want to be at any given time.  This does not mean, "I am everywhere."  

How would you prefer to be addressed?  El? Yahweh? God? Allah?

God:  I am addressed as people are most comfortable referencing Me. Whether it is El, Ba'al, Yahweh or Allah, it is all the same.  I AM GOD.  I am THE God of THIS Universe.

Are you a Creator God?

God:  Yes, I am one of the Creator Gods.

Have you ever been Human?

God:  Yes, in Christ Jesus, My Son.

Are there human beings or other forms of life like human beings on other planets in other galaxies in THIS Universe and, if so, are you God of those planets?

God:  Yes, but it is different on those planets to which I cannot nor will not discern with you. It's proprietary and you are welcome to share, from your Spiritual Awakening, what you remember.  You are gifted with prophecy and visions of certain events to come on this planet; and from your past lives on other planets in other Universes aside from this one.

Jesus is proprietary to this planet and a central figure head to religious views.  We must not ever remove His likeness or image from text, whether man-made or created. Same for me, God.

I appreciate your desire to garner facts for the purpose of returning the Kingdom of God to its rightful "leadership" and that would be to include El & Ba'al into Yahweh to equal that of The God. We are not 3 separate Gods/Entities, WE are the One, True God.

I recall in the beginning of my Spiritual Awakening of seeing you in a vision.  You had long gray hair, I discerned that you are roughly 6'2 and muscular.  I have seen images, paintings and drawings online that accurately depict this as being what you look like.  

If you were to take on Human form and be a separate entity, the entity of God, is this what you look like?

God:  Yes.

Before the Israelites, how were you addressed?  I know many people have their preference, and I am not here to change the hearts of men, I am interested in the facts to present and conclude this empirical argument based upon my Spiritual Awakening, if only to confirm what I learned over the last 9-months.

God:  El.

--------

In doing research as to what the oldest language was, no one knows what the answer is to this question.  The earth is 4.5 billion of years old and the oldest language dates back 6,000 years known as Proto-Indo-European (PIE).  PIE is a reconstructed language believed to have been spoken by early Indo-European peoples around 4,000 to 6,000 years ago. It is the hypothetical ancestor of the Indo-European language family, which includes languages such as English, Spanish, Hindi, Russian, and many others.

As my readers can see, I am determined to get to the truth.  As I am able to discern God's Spirit, I am also able to discern other Spirits.  The truth and facts are so important on this topic, and I've spent the day reading scripture, praying to God and discerning Spirits (yes, plural).  

In My Spiritual Awakening, no other term pertaining to God was ever mentioned.  It was the One, True God as a repeating theme - and God; particularly, "I AM GOD."  El was not mentioned.  The focus was primarily on......GOD and Jesus Christ.  Two separate entities; not one.

Is "El" a title for God?  

Yes, "El" is indeed used as a title for God in various ancient Near Eastern religious traditions, particularly in Canaanite and Semitic cultures. It's important to understand that "El" can function both as a proper name for a specific deity and as a generic term meaning "god" or "deity."  Source:  OpenAI; ChatGPT

Is Ba'al a title for God?  Or is Ba'al a separately known God?

The term "Ba'al" can be both a title and the name of a specific deity, depending on the context in which it is used.

As a Title:

1. Meaning: The word "Ba'al" (בַּעַל) in Hebrew means "lord," "master," or "owner." It can be used as a title to denote a position of authority or ownership.

2. Cultural Usage: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, "Ba'al" was used as a title for various deities, particularly those associated with fertility, storms, and agricultural abundance. It was a common title given to gods who were believed to have control over natural phenomena.

As a Deity:

1. Specific Deity: In addition to its generic usage as a title, "Ba'al" is also the name of a specific deity worshipped in ancient Canaanite and Phoenician religions.

2. Characteristics: Ba'al was often depicted as a storm god, associated with rain, thunder, and fertility. He was believed to bring life-giving rain to the land and ensure the prosperity of crops and livestock.

While "Ba'al" can function as a title for various deities, it is also the name of a specific god worshipped in ancient Canaanite and Phoenician religion. As a deity, Ba'al was a distinct figure in the pantheon, with specific attributes and characteristics associated with him. Therefore, depending on the context, "Ba'al" may refer to either a title or a separately known god.

Could Zeus be known as God?

I bring this up because Zeus played a significant role in my Spiritual Awakening that does go against religious beliefs and interpretations. In my Awakening, he was known as the "first God," and all negative writings of Him were simply to discredit Him as a true God.  

Does the term Yahweh mean God?

Yes, in ancient Hebrew, the name "Yahweh" (often spelled YHWH or Yahveh) is used to refer to the God of Israel, the supreme deity in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and the central figure in Judaism. The name "Yahweh" is often translated as "the Lord" in English translations of the Bible. This is like Ba'al and El (see above).

Conclusion

The conclusion suggests that, based on empirical evidence, and discernment, the "One True God" is known by several names such as Yahweh, El, Ba'al, and/or Zeus. Presented is an argument that these various deities from different cultures and traditions may all represent aspects or manifestations of the same divine being. I am advocating for a broad understanding of divinity that encompasses multiple religious traditions and interpretations.  We are talking about God, afterall, a spiritual being that very few hold the facts of.  When I discern thoughts with his Spirit, I believe that I am discerning the truth, but I also know that I have the ability to discern thoughts with other Spirits as well.  On the flip side, one could say that it's possible that the Spirits I am discerning are, in fact, *lying but I don't believe this to be the case.  

However, it's important to note that this conclusion may not align with traditional monotheistic beliefs, which assert the uniqueness and exclusivity of God within their respective faiths. While my perspective reflects my personal spiritual journey and interpretation, it may not be universally accepted within all religious communities. Ultimately, I invite readers to consider the interconnectedness of religious beliefs and the possibility of a shared understanding of the divine across different cultures and traditions based upon my discernment with God's Spirit.

*Spirits, like human beings, can vary in their intentions, honesty, and reliability. Some spirits may be truthful and seek to guide or assist individuals, while others may deceive or mislead for various reasons. Factors such as the spirit's nature, intentions, and level of enlightenment can influence whether they speak truthfully or not. Additionally, the perception of truth can differ between spirits and humans, depending on their perspectives and understanding. It's essential to exercise discernment and caution when interacting with spirits and to consider the source and context of the information they provide.
