As an aside, the irony of the phrase "origins of Christian God" is that it is itself an oxymoron. The Christian God has no origins. To speak of the Christian God otherwise means it's not the Christian God. |
Maybe the Christian God had origins. Or at least the Jewish God. I meant it as in historical and cultural development of the concept of God by humans, not the concept that God has no beginning, a concept developed later by humans too.
Love the article, I sped read it, exactly what I was getting at with Boxy. For some reason, he’s not understanding what I’m trying to get at.
