as the God of Christianity? According to the law of the development of religions in the world, the gods of religions originally evolved as the gods or totems of the tribes, and as the tribes became stronger and expanded, the power of the gods would also become more powerful. So was the god God originally developed from tribes?
This must start with Judaism, the source of Christianity. Before the founding of Christianity, Judaism regarded God as God. So where did the God of Judaism come from? Let me explain in detail:
According to Jewish records, the name of the ancestors of the Jews is Jacob (Jacob), the grandson of Abraham, the son of Isaac, that is to say, the ancestors of the Jews should be Abraham, according to the third chapter of the Old Testament of the Bible. Abraham was a Semitic and was blessed by God to move south to the Canaan region (Jerusalem), which is consistent with the fact that Abraham was originally an Indian and moved to Canaan to multiply.
Well, if the ancestors of the Jewish ancestors are Indians, then the clue turns to India
. Let’s talk about the timeline of religions: Christianity originated in the 1st century AD, Islam in the 5th century AD, and Hinduism in 1500 BC. According to this, Hinduism is the oldest 's religion.
India was the earliest polytheistic belief, and after the Aryan invasion, it was changed to the main god belief, that is, the three major gods in India, and the surname class was implemented at the same time. The three gods of ancient Hinduism are: Brahma, the creator, Vishnu, the protector, and Shiva, the destroyer.
We mainly talk about Brahma. Brahma is the god who created everything in Hindu mythology, that is, the creator. Do you think he is very similar to God? According to the ancient Indian "Vedas", Brahma floated on the river and broke out of the golden egg. The "Bible" description of God is: God's Spirit walks on water, the descriptions of the two are exactly the same.
From the position of the three gods, compare the creator god Brahma with the creator god, the protector Vishnu with the Virgin, and the destruction god Shiva with the devil Satan.
The Bible mentions the great flood Noah built the ark. In fact, there is the same record in the Hindu "Vedas". Hinduism records that God told the ancestor of mankind, Manu, that the great flood was coming, and asked him to bring the seeds of all living things in the world. The story of escaping as a boat, and then Brahma turned into a fish and pushed the boat to the Himalayas to avoid the great flood (there is also a story that Vishnu turned into a fish). In short, this myth version must be earlier than Noah built the ark.
After the comparison of the mythology, I will do some other evidence
. The ancestors of the Jews used Hebrew (belonging to the Indo-European language family), and the Sanskrit used in Hinduism belonged to the same (Indo-European language family), and the pronunciation of God's name in Hebrew It is very similar to the pronunciation of Brahma in Sanskrit.
To sum up, I can make a bold assumption that the ancestor of the Jews, Abraham, moved from India to Canaan to integrate with the local indigenous people, and then brought the Hindu belief that the creation god Brahma, and finally, with the continuous expansion of the Jewish worldview, it was deduced into The later God, that is, the origin of God, finally evolved into the Christian Creator God.
