Not all-knowing and Not transcendent
The Jewish God is not all-knowing.
For example, He does not know Prophet Adam’s whereabouts, when Prophet Adam and his wife, Eve, ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Then the man [Prophet Adam] and his wife [Eve] heard the sound of the Lord God as He was walking in the Garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the Garden. But the Lord God called out to the man, “Where are you?”[8]
The Jewish God is not transcendent because He cannot see Adam and Eve hiding in the Garden that He is supposed to have created.
Did the Jewish God then create the Garden? If the Jewish God did not create the Garden, can He be the God Who is the Uncaused Cause of all creation?
Not all-powerful
The Jewish God is not all-powerful according to the Hebrew Bible.
- And the Lord God said, “The man {Prophet Adam] has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.[9]
Why should the Jewish God fear at all, if He is the all-powerful Creator?
Why should the Jewish God fear a mere creature like Prophet Adam?
Clearly, the Jewish God cannot be all-powerful and, therefore, cannot be God.
Perhaps the Jewish God acquired His immortality from the tree of life?
Perhaps He did not create the Garden with its trees of knowledge and life?
Perhaps the Jewish God is not God at all, but a minor “god” in the chain of Creation.
The true God would be the one who created the Garden with its trees of knowledge and life from which this Jewish God perhaps acquired knowledge of good and evil and immortality. This would explain why the Jewish God fears Adam’s immortality.
If Prophet Adam gained immortality, he would “become like one of us.” In other words, Prophet Adam would become like the Jewish god, one of perhaps many gods who likewise acquired knowledge of good and evil and immortality!
