A diversion or not?

The residue of material about Yahweh (and the Yawists), while yet to be entered here, let me divert to these speculations….

The Sumerian List of Kings provides extreme longevity for rulers of ancient Sumeria:

And the Hebrew Bible, as you know, contains longevity for some of the patriarchs of Judaism [From Google Search]:

“The lifetimes given for the patriarchs in the Masoretic Text of the Book of Genesis are: Adam 930 years, Seth 912, Enos 905, Kenan 910, Mahalalel 895, Jared 962, Enoch 365 (did not die, but was taken away by God), Methuselah 969, Lamech 777, Noah 950.”

Could Yahweh have lived long enough to be involved in the Jesus episode? Or is Yahwism a kind of consortium of shamanistic adepts, with leaders exalted as “god” for their periods of reign (as part of the consortium)?

And did those adepts – “leaders” assume leadership for various periods of existence and assumed the mantle of “god” for sections of humankind, such as Allah for Muslims?

While the Jesus story remains intact; that is, nothing changes: He did what is reported in the Canonical Gospels (and other texts), dying on the cross and resurrecting, He was not the son of God, but the son of Yahweh or a “son” from within the Yahwist consortium.

The whole of Jesus’ ministry is a continuation of the awesome but deep chicanery of the Yahwist group.

This leads to the retributions by the Yahwist “gods” regarding the Romans and Jews, first the Romans sacked and eliminated by barbaric tribes and then the Jews, shunned by various human societies and  finally annihilated, en masse, by the Holocaust.

This suggestion takes us back to the initial activities of the deviant “god” Yahweh….
