GRADUAL INCREASE IN GODS
Ancient textual evidence shows that the trend was to increase the number of gods as time passed, rather than decrease them. (Siegfried H. Horn,
Records of the Past Illuminate the Bible, 1975, p. 12)
It was only the later nations who were POLYtheists (worshipping many gods).
As an example of how far this trend has developed over the past 4,000 years, it is calculated that today the Hindu religion has 600,000 gods.
Now, are you ready for this? The story is fascinating.
Something BIG occurred - and so earth-shaking, that highly civilized people who believed in one great God - the Creator - radically
changed their thinking so as to venerate planets, cats, hawks, snakes and beetles.
What spectacular event brought this about?
And how could an original, healthy, beneficent religious system degenerate into practices such as human sacrifice?
