In contrast, the Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible makes it clear that the forces of nature are not pagan gods that war with one another annually to bring about an established order of the universe. They are part of God's creation. - Genesis 1 -

The Babylonian god Bel is the same as Marduk, the chief Babylonian god. - Is. 46:1; Jer. 50:2, 51:44 - The Babylonian god Merodach an alternate spelling of Marduk, was the god of war and the patron deity of the city of Babylon.

Nebo was the Babylonian god of education, literature, writing, wisdom, the arts and sciences. Nisroch was an Assyrian god with a temple in Nineveh. The idol representing this pagan god had a human form with an eagle head. Sakkuth and Kaiwan was a name given by the Babylonian to the planet Saturn.

When Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, deported the inhabitants of Samaria to farflung regions of his empire, he also imported into Samaria settlers from afar to colonize this area of Palestine. These people brought their religion and their pagan gods with them. Among these gods were: Adrammelech, an idol of the Sepharvites worshiped by chid sacrifice; Anammelech, another god revered by Sepharvites; Ashima, an idol worshiped by the people of Hamath; Nergal, the war god of the men of Cuth; Nibhaz, an idol of the Avites; and Tartak, an idol also worshiped by the Avites. - 2Kin. 17:30-31 -

The pagan gods of Egypt were a constant threat to the Israelites, both during their years in bondage and afterwards. Their deliverance from Egypt was described by the Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible as a great spiritual victory, with the sovereign Lord of Israel defeating the gods of the Egyptian. - Ex. 18:11; 2Sam. 7:23 -

Egyptian religion reflected the same pagan ideas that were popular in the ancient world, but with different figures. Horus was the god of Egypt's western delta; he was a human figure with a falcon's head. Hathor, the corresponding goddess, had a cow's body and a woman's head. The god Set had a man's body and an animal's head. Anubis had a man's body and the head of an ibis.

Besides gods that were composite with animal forms and human forms, some Egyptian gods were portrayed as completely human. The are many, many more. The Egyptians also worshiped the sun, moon, and the stars. The Egyptians had many other pagan gods and the worship of all the gods involved magic and superstition.

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-25 -
