What I found in the Old is the conversation “God” was having with the Israelite’s. It is the only place, Old or New where God directly talked to a specific people.

As a bystander I found the conversation intriguing

Anyone here is welcome to disprove that primes

The question can’t be answered until conclusive proof is shown that a god of any kind actually exists. Until then, it’s moot.
