    That is a full on falsehood and you know it .. so why are you saying things that you know are false - going back to the same vomit we have been over a number of times. .

    Now you are calling Jehovah a liar ?! Jehovah himself - in one of the rare times he speaks directly - states that Abraham did not call his God Jehovah..

    See how these deceivers on these fundamentalist sites have twisted something Holy into something Unholy ..

    Abraham didn't call God Enlil. Genesis 14:22

    And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth.

    1) He Hebrew translation of the term used the above passage is "El Supreme" - which refers to "Enlil (El) "

    You have called YHWH a liar - do you stand by this assertion ?

    We are not talking about the term "Elohim" - but regardless .. Do you stand by your assertion that YHWH is a Liar

    Elohim and Enlil having similar etymology doesn't mean that the Bible teaches paganism.

    I did not say it did - so why are you inferring that I did ? You are the one who claimed the God of Jesus and Abraham was a Pagan God.

    You are the one who has asserted that YHWH is a Liar ... which is what we are talking about .. do you stand by your assertion. YES/NO ?

    Now a complicated task - cept by one who is under the influence of those snake charmer sites you love so much.

    Buddhism doesn't believe in reincarnation, that's actually a pollution from Hindi. Buddhism believes in Enlightenment. If you achieve it you will have one very happy life. UnEnlightened people are terribly unhappy, but either Enlightened or not you only have one life and there is nothing beyond it. If you are Enlightened that doesn't matter, if not that is a major source of distress.

    Not all types of Buddhism believe this, but most histories say this is the historical type.

    You don't need Buddhism to know that desiring too many things causes unhappiness.

    Elohim means Most High, not Enlil. https://www.gotquestions.org/God-Most-High.html

    You don't need any religion to know anything

    Christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship with God.

    Been over this. Christianity is by definition a religion. Identical to Islam, Judaism and paganism and every other religion.

    Having a relationship with God is not about religion-religion is manmade. https://www.oneforisrael.org/bible-...lmud-rabbinic-tradition-vs-the-new-testament/

    There is no evidence the character Jesus ever existed.

    The apostles had nothing to gain by preaching the gospel. https://www.gotquestions.org/did-Jesus-exist.html

    The evidence for the existence of the apostles has multiple attestation, embarrassing testimony, and lack of flowery detail. https://seanmcdowell.org/blog/did-the-twelve-apostles-of-jesus-exist
