Creation

[BNR32FAN]

You haven't actually debunked anything though.

You made some false argument about a cosmic temple understanding of Genesis having to do with the Israelites needing to have a temple. Which is just not the case. Of course the Israelites didn't have their own temple. I'm not sure why you would think that this is important.

And there's really nothing to debunk about the Egyptian context of Genesis. It's just a fact about the history of the text. Genesis describes the same cosmology as other ancient near east creation texts.

The Israelites wouldn't need to have their own temple in order for Genesis to be about a 7-day temple inauguration.

The Bible doesn’t say that the creation account has anything to do with a 7 day temple inauguration, if anything the 7 day temple inauguration is symbolic of the creation week. All you’re doing is trying to find any excuse you can to justify your objection to what is clearly written in the scriptures. And when you actually learn about the Egyptian creation stories it’s beyond clear that they are nothing like the creation account. Here’s a video explaining the three main Egyptian creation stories that I’ve already posted before in response to your claim for anyone whose interested in comparing them to the biblical creation account.

If anyone is interested in learning about Egyptian creation theology and comparing them to the Genesis account here’s a video that tells three of the major Egyptian creation stories. I invite anyone to listen to them and conclude for yourself whether or not the Genesis creation account was influenced by these stories.

 

[Job 33:6]

. Here’s a video explaining the three main Egyptian creation stories that I’ve already posted before in response to your claim for anyone whose interested in comparing them to the biblical creation account.

This is a good video that affirms what I am stating. Here are key themes of your video:
3:00 Darkness and a vast ocean
3:45 the primordial mound
5:00 division of heaven and earth
6:30 formless void and the deep
7:45 the primordial mound
10:25 vast darkness and deep
11:20 creation with the spoken word (and God said)
11:28 wind upon the waters
11:50 light
13:30 the video observed parallels to the Bible.
20:12 creation with the spoken word.

All of these are very clearly described in the Bible.

Genesis 1:1-3, 9 NRSV
[1] In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, [2] the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. [3] Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.
[9] And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so.

1. Darkness and deep, an infinite ocean.
2. The wind of God or spirit of God over the face of the waters.
3. Creation with the spoken word.
4. Creation of light.
5. Creation of the primordial land in the midst of the deep.

That's the precise order observed in the Memphite Theology. And that's exactly what happens in Genesis. Your video is accurate.

The point being that indeed, Genesis, much like other ancient near east literature, such as that of Egyptian creation texts, describes ancient Israelite cosmology.
