You can learn about the Epic of Gilgamesh or the gods of animistic religions in the rest of the world. But why would the ancient texts of the bible be any different?
– God is universal, rather than everyone having their own deities. We are also all members of God’s family, brothers and sisters.
– God is invisible and incorporeal, not material, rather than wooden gods propped up on your shelf. The material world itself is not the only reality. God is beyond nature. He made nature and is not of it. The human belief in nature gods ended.
– God is moral and justice is in the future. Other gods prior to the God of the bible were capricious and amoral.
– God lets his children challenge and question. Humans can wrestle with God and question Him.
– God loves and wants to be loved.
– Humans are universally valuable because we are created in His image.
– Humans have universal rights.
