Now we'll discuss
the concept of God
in the Semitic religions.
First, we'll discuss
the concept of God in Judaism.
Judaism is
a Semitic religion,
And
if you read the scriptures
of Judaism,
that the Torah
and the Talmud
or the old testament,
it's mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy,
chapter number 6, verse number 4. Moses, peace
be upon him, says,
Israel, the Lord, our God is 1 Lord.
It's mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter
number 43 verse number 11.
I, even I am Lord and beside me
there's no savior. It's mentioned in the book
of Isaiah chapter number 45 verse number 5.
I am Lord and there's none else. I
am God and there's none like me.
It further mentioned in the book of Isaiah,
chapter number 46
verse number 9. I am God and there's
none else. I am God and there's none
like me.
It further mentioned
in the book of Exodus
chapter number 20, verse number 3, 4, and
5.
It says,
almighty God says in the book of Exodus,
chapter number 20, verse number 3 to 5.
Thou shall have
none other god besides me.
Thou shall not make unto thee any graven
image of anything, of any likeness in the
heaven above, in the earth beneath, and in
the water under the earth. Thou shall not
bow down to them nor serve them for
I, thy God, thy Lord is a jealous
God.
The same message repeated in the book of
Deuteronomy.
Chapter number 5, verse number 7 to 9.
Almighty God says, thou shall have no other
God beside me. Thou shall not make unto
thee any graven image of anything, of any
likeness in the heaven above, in the earth
beneath, and the water beneath the earth. Thou
shall not bow onto them, nor serve them.
For I, thy God, thy Lord is a
jealous God.
So if you read
the scriptures of Judaism,
you'll understand
that Judaism
believe
that you should worship only one God.
And that God
cannot have any images.
So if you read the Jewish scriptures, you'll
understand the concept of God in Judaism.
