The Mountain of Fear and the Mountain of Joy (Hebrews 12)
18 You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; 19 to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them, 20 because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.”[c] 21 The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”[d]
22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the church of the firstborn,whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
25 See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”[e] 27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”[f]

IF YOU ARE STILL NOT CONVINCED, TAKE A LOOK AT THE DEPICTIONS OF MOUNT SINAI AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK IT LOOKS LIKE. DO NOT BLANK OUT THE BLATANTLY OBVIOUS. REMOVE THE BLINKERS. CLICK HERE FOR THE IMAGES.
The Creator of the volcano is not one Himself!
ReplyDelete1) Many of these verses refer to the earthly element of fire which God created.
2) Others refer metaphorically to the anger of God.
3) The remaining refer to an eternal fire which will destroy unredeemed bodies and souls in hell.
JESUS CHRIST DIED TO SAVE US FROM SIN AND CONQUERED DEATH FOREVER SO THAT WE CAN AVOID THE EVERLASTING VOLCANO THAT HE INTENDED ONLY FOR THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS.
You, are an idiot.
DeleteKeep your propaganda in church where it belongs. Civilized people don't want to see that.
Deleteyeah ok
DeleteI beg all TRUE christians to turn away from the post that Satan has left above mine. Surely his scheming logic won't break our unbendable faith in the lord our 'cano. May his steaming clouds of sulfur be ever present in your mind.
DeleteHonestly, God just got more awesome after reading this. Bearded grandpa watching you masturbate from the sky?...Meh. Awesome thundering, earth moving, mountain of fire and sulfur that burns and entombs the wicked in his wrath? SEE YOU IN CHURCH!
DeleteInterestingly...YHWH, YHVH or Yahweh was a Canaanite war god adopted by the ancient wandering Hebrew tribes as their chief god (when they moved to the land of Canaan). He was bloodthirsty, vengeful, jealous and petty (like a lot of gods). The ancient Hebrews chose not to worship the other gods from the same pantheon that Yahweh sprang forth from (including Yahweh's wife, Asherah), probably in fear of his wrath...Yes, God had a wife....LOL! Mythology is fun!
DeleteI will be adding the wife thing to my recent post on the comparison between known pagan gods and Yahweh.
DeleteIt gets funnier by the day Dana :)
Maybe allah was a volcano, lol, he certainly WAS the pagan Moon god that Mohammed's clan worshipped, that is where the Islamic crescent comes from. Do not confuse your false, pagan moon god allah with the True and Living God!
Delete'I beg all TRUE christians to turn away from the post that Satan has left above mine. Surely his scheming logic won't break our unbendable faith in the lord our 'cano. May his steaming clouds of sulfur be ever present in your mind.'
ReplyDeleteNot forgetting his rivers of fire, fiery arrows and clouds of tumbling ash clouds.
Every religion has it`s roots in nature. The first god ever was the sun. Some gods were gods of lightning, others of sea and so on. No surprise that to some desert goat herders from 3000 years ago, a volcano seemed to be god and volcanic eruption the wrath of god. It is sad that so many people believe this bullshit to this very day.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just sad but scary and lonely. Most people believe in this rubbish.
DeleteThe Sun is a star, it is NOT a god, nor was lightning, and only false relligions have their roots in nature, most are brancges of witchcraft. Christianity has nothing to do with nature, except our God created nature.
DeleteNo Dennis, your mythical beliefs are not special.
Deleteit is believed/theorized that man gets his posture for prayer (on knees with eyes and hands raised to the sky) from the baboon. The baboon was seen by the ancients to be worshiping the sun. And may be how the Egyptians ended up with a Baboon-headed God. The baboons were actually only warming their bellies after a cold desert night of laying on their stomachs. The ancient Egyptians used a lot of animals in their pantheon of Gods, often to appease said Gods in return for protection from the God's minions (scorpions, asps, etc.)
ReplyDeleteThat made my day. Thanks for that.
DeleteYou've convinced me, praise LAVA
ReplyDeletePraise the lava, the sun and the holy smoke.
DeleteIt would be prudent to read the WHOLE bible before formulating a belief in who or what God is. Also, if you haven't read the fable of the blind men and the elephant, you may want to do so. You may find it enlightening. Finally, I've never heard of a talking volcano. "Claiming to be wise, they became fools." (Romans 1:22). Always keep an open, inquiring, and thoughtful mind.
ReplyDeleteGrains of truth generally lie at the source and not the end, thousands of years after. The NT offers words of wisdom but it is based on volcano worship. It makes no difference what is written in the NT, just as it makes no difference what stories the Hawaiians have to tell about Pele.
DeleteYou might find this educational, although painful....

Read the verse you quoted and know thyself.
As some people say "Ignorance Is Daring". But God forgives our ignorance, I Pray that the real fire from heaven gets ahold of you and your agnostics friends, and all these bible portions become a reality in your life, and may The Lord Jesus fill you with the Holy Spirit and Fire
ReplyDeleteYou're trying to preach to me that god was not a volcano god by threatening me with holy fire??? Are you completely nuts?
DeleteYou seem like this woman....

Get a grip of reality man.
Thanks Fog Horn.
ReplyDeleteThanks for saying thanks :-)
DeleteSo with this theory of yours, did the Hebrews worship all volcanoes or just the one at Horeb? The atheistic view of the origin of life...abiogenesis....is not supported by science. To believe naturalistic processes created life is rooted in "faith" and not "facts". Atheism and Theism are ultimately based on faith. YHWH is not a volcano. Many Christians teach Mt. Sinai was a volcano, yet YHWH is not the volcano, he is separate from it. God created nature and can use it to accomplish his will.
ReplyDeleteI know Yahweh was not the volcano. A volcano is a volcano. Yahweh was imagined up by the ancient Hebrews because they didn't know how else to explain why a fire blazed on the top of what they thought was just an ordinary mountain. What else could have started this fire other than a man? A super powerful man. A supernatural man. If you believe in this volcano residing god then in all fairness you have to believe in all of them. You're not prejudiced are you?
DeleteSee the amazing variety and similarities between the many volcano gods....only a few of them highlighted in this blog...
http://volcano-gods.blogspot.com
So when you refer to your god you need to use his name because there were many just like him.
what about the god of the flood ,, was that a volcano as-well
ReplyDeleteVolcanoes cause ripple effects.....earthquakes, storms, tsunamis. Tsunamis cause rapid flooding.
DeleteThis is great article and so helpful.
ReplyDeletelove verses in the bible
Do you have any suggestions as to which volcanoes would have been active during the window for development of hebrew or canaanite myth?
