Well now, don’t be an a-hole. Be like your mythical friend Jesus. Do what he would do. At least pray for me.

This reflects a rival Christian cult with more ancient beliefs that the Holy Spirit was the goddess Asherah who was the queen of heaven and wife of El Elyon and mother of Yahweh - which that sect believed to be pre-incarnate Jesus.
While there was some belief that the Holy Spirit was feminine and the Divine Mother in some early Christian groups, I'm not aware of any sects that equated it to El's consort, Asherah. Belief in Asherah died when Israel became monitheistic, some 500-600 years before Jesus.

If you believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God that should be taken literally, you would have to believe in both concepts.

Christianity didn’t spring from Pharisee Judaism. It sprang from obscure sects of Israelite religion that never died off. Is why Clement of Rome quoted Deuteronomy 32:8-9 in his epistle to the Corinthians. It was very important that the father god El Elyon assigned his most unique special son Yahweh the nation of Israel.
The goddess is still preserved in late canonic OT writings…
Malachi 4:2
quote:
2But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in her wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.
And the same goddess is in NT writings too.
Revelation 12
quote:
1And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2She was pregnant and was crying out in birth pains and the agony of giving birth.
They didn’t call her Asherah any more. She was simply the mother, the Holy Spirit, the queen of heaven.

Hopefully you have a reason now to question that statement you made and do your own research.
Let me leave you with this…
Look up the word for “happiness” in Biblical Hebrew. Hell, look up the modern Hebrew word.
Do the same thing for “blessed”.
Report back on if you think Asherah still died out 500 years before Jesus.

Think about it Ed, you are calling atheists irrational - people who understand their reality based on scientific principles and evidence.
I honestly think your argument is not well thought out here and immature itself.
If I said Ed, last night I was visited by a leprechaun in a dream and he told me where his pot of gold was hidden.
Would you say “get the frick out of here with that nonsense, leprechauns don’t exist”? You might think I was joking or being a horse’s arse.
Then I could use your argument back at you. Ed, you’re being irrational. You’re making an affirmative claim about the non existence of leprechauns that cannot be proven. Would you agree that you were being irrational in that hypothetical sense?
Honestly “proven” isn’t even a rational word to use in any of these senses. Save proofs for mathematics. For historical matters, use “the evidence best supports…” or similar.

Good luck with that
There is no Sumerian manuscript. Just fragments of clay tablets. Tablets that cant be dated because they never held biologic material, like a clay pot would. In fact, the tablets arent linked to any known language in history. The earliest decipherable tablets date from 2300 BC by other objects found near them
Canaan was Noah of Ark fames grandson. The people that populated Canaan had writings dated much earlier than Sumer, and in fact developed script that even the Greeks eventually used. This was around 8000 BC

The Phoenicians were an ancient Semitic people who inhabited city-states in Canaan, The history of the Greek alphabet began with the adoption of Phoenician letter forms in the 9th–8th centuries BC during early Archaic Greece and continues to the present day.
This was millennia before the Sumerians are even mentioned in history
No one knew they existed until 1870, and everything is really sketchy due to the difficulty with translation
quote:
The Sumerian language is considered an isolate, meaning it’s not related to any known language. This makes translating Sumerian literature incredibly difficult.
Most "stories" are best guesses. Dont bet the farm on them

“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever - the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you."
"But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."
-- Jesus Christ (John 14:15-17, 26)

You're off by over 1,000 years. And it is laughable to suggest there are writings dating 1) older than anything from Sumer and 2) 8,000 BC.
There's no need for us to discuss this farther either as you are clearly not a serious person.

Well, considering I look at the number of reported cases of leprechauns and how people report missing time when in their presence and realize it's probably part of the same phenomenon as the "alien" phenomenon, whatever it is, you will never hear me deny the existence of leprechauns.
Maybe you try again if you like. But it isn't going to change my view.

You do know what an alphabet is, right?
quote:
The Greek alphabet has been used to write the Greek language since the late 9th or early 8th century BC. It was derived from the earlier Phoenician alphabet,
And the Greeks got their script for their alphabet from the Phoenicians
Folks that came from Canaan
quote:
The Mediterranean civilization of Phoenicia was one of the first alphabets, attested in Canaanite and Aramaic inscriptions found across the Mediterranean basin. In the history of writing systems, the Phoenician script also marked the first to have a fixed writing direction—while previous systems were multi-directional, Phoenician was written horizontally, from right to left
Where are the Sumerians today? If they were derived from advanced aliens.How come they disappeared. The Greeks are still here.The Jews are still here.
Things they make you go "hmmmmm"
