Aren't you painting with much TOO broad a brush by implying all Abrahamic theologists interpret the entirety of the bible/torah as literal truths?SAMURAI36 said:Therein lies the difference between the esoteric and exoteric....These 2 premises cannot be overlooked, when examining anything of a religious/spiritual nature.
While Kemetian theology is based almost totally on the abstract, the doctrine(s) of Abrahamic theology begins to dissolve once the historical aspect is subtracted, let alone questioned.
Are there not a myraid of abrahamic groups that deal with the mythology within their belief, and in fact groups of (even) christians that do not believe the bible is a literal historical document?
I think more accurately we can say that some things are considered allegorical, others literal, and over time, the understanding of which stories constitute historical fact or allegory is subject to change.
The thing most striking to me about kemetian theology is it's constantly evolving, morphing nature, with myth/allegory woven in with historical backdrop...it is much more similar to Abrahamic tradition than I imagined.
