    I don't see anyone here that is "shocked" by anything of the sort.

      "[T]he Jews" were not the Canaanites. There were no "Jews" in the late Bronze age, only their very remote ancestors.

      There are cultural, ethnic, and linguistic affinities between the early Israelites and the various Canaanite peoples but the Israelites were not Canaanites. although they were all Semites and spoke cognate languages.

        Good enough - surprised enough to try to make an issue of it.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          And it looks like you're just here to argue for the sake of arguing even though I didn't say anything wrong other than use a term you wanted to nitpick.

            You're shocked, right? And stunned?

                      No one has ever alleged there was a heaven [as understood as a post-mortem realm] in ancient Egypt.

                      Either you did not read my reply to you on this thread https://theologyweb.com/campus/forum...15#post1487414 [which according to my computer is post #223] or you are [to use a Freudian term] in denial.

                      Freud described denial as being the inability for an individual to accept a fact that is uncomfortable to them. The fact that you refuse to accept is that you have made a repeated mistake by misconstruing what David translated and assuming that the phrase Lord of Heaven referred to the ruler of some post-mortem abode. It did not. However, you appear unable to accept the reality that you were wrong in your assumption.

                      And you have again made a mistake by writing

                            Yeah technically you are correct, since "Jews" wasn't used to describe the Hebrew/Israelite people until after the northern kingdom was mostly wiped out/exiled and only the Kingdom or Judah was left, when the Israelites regrouped. After that the name Jew came to represent anyone of Israelites that were from the Kingdom of Judah. But you understood what Gond meant by "Jew" without having to nitpick it didn't you?

                              Hypatia has to nitpick not out of technicality, but just to quote some book she allegedly to have in her or a friends library and (likely) to deny any connection of modern "Jews" to ancient Israel. There is some contention around the Merneptah Stele

                                In the late Bronze age the Jewish religion did not exist either.
