It’s come to my attention that we not always knowingly but with the libraries and history of the vatican it seems it had to be clear we were ending our prayers with a callback it to the ancient egyptian god Ahhmun. This of course is probably just a cultural remainder from the time the jews spent in Egypt and the fact that they adapted well into that culture in many ways. For hundreds of years after the 10 commandments are discovered In some ways it’s still going on so I again am reminded of the 1st commandment. I am the lord thy god and you shall worship no other gods before me but the literal translation Is you will not cut in line in front of god. So This information leads me to a conclusion. The early Hebrews believed in many gods if not as worship they certainly believed other gods had existed. My interpretation of the commandment is that God is fine with you dabbling with other gods so long as I am always #1. I mean it makes no sense that a monotheistic religion would make it’s most important commandment being oh btw in case there is another god I”m #1 ok? If they believed in a single god at that time it’s hard to understand why there highest commandment regards other gods which are apparently also Schrodinger’s gods which are both dead and alive simultaneously. I’m not having a crisis of faith just trying to understand how our religion evolved into what it ia today.
As far as I can tell this doesn’t have anything to do with the post and it’s rather hard to parse. You make some unsubstantiated claims about the Vatican and the Hebrews, but you main point seems to be that there can’t be one God if he tells you to worship no other. I don’t think this is true, he’s warning against worshipping false Gods. The entire point of Genesis 1 is that God made everything, visible and invisible.
I am the LORD; there is no other god – Isaiah 45:5
