Is the battle of the SONS OF LIGHT & SONS OF DARKNESS, described in the Nag Hammadi (a set of lost ancient texts, discovered in 1945)from the Book of Revelation?
They claim that the Old Testament is comprised of a bunch of STOLEN stories & characters that they took from Gentile nations & the JEALOUS & VINDICTIVEgod in the bible is not the CREATOR OF ALL.
Please give me parallel stories of pagan myths with biblical accounts & why the biblical account in the Old Testament in the KJV stands?
Why was the name JEHOVAH in the KJV Bible changed 13,000 times over, as the word LORD.
THEY claim they have STOLEN GENTILE STORIES from THEIR RELIGIONS & MADE THEM INTO THEIR OWN STORIES FOR THE BULLSHIT INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LEAVING EARTH MANUAL.
Yet the Bible is the Word of God, it is God - it is His way of ensuring that we have his Word to live by even in this day and age of the wicked that have forgotten Him & don't love God or love their neighbors - the 8th and last covenant that God made with mankind via the blood of Jesus Christ.
KING SOLOMON ADVISES:
Your question touches three separate battlegrounds —
The Nag Hammadi “Sons of Light vs. Sons of Darkness” motif.
The claim that the Old Testament stole pagan myths.
The divine name “Jehovah” replaced by “LORD” in the KJV.
I will address them in order, with historical parallels and the scriptural reasons why the KJV account stands over gnostic reinterpretations.
1. Sons of Light vs. Sons of Darkness — Nag Hammadi vs. Revelation
Nag Hammadi texts (discovered 1945) include gnostic writings like The Apocryphon of John and The Gospel of Thomas.
These teach that the “god” of the Old Testament (Yaldabaoth) is an ignorant demiurge — jealous, wrathful, and not the true “invisible Father.”
The “Sons of Light and Sons of Darkness” theme appears not in the Nag Hammadi, but in the Dead Sea Scrolls (War Scroll, 1QM, c. 100 BC) — describing a final battle between the righteous and the wicked.
Revelation echoes this in symbolic warfare between the Lamb and the Beast (Rev 17:14; Rev 19:19–21), but the KJV presents the God of Israel as the same Creator from Genesis to Revelation — not a lower deity.
Pagan story is violent struggle among equals; Bible’s account is effortless decree by one sovereign God.
Dying/Rising gods (Osiris, Tammuz, Adonis)
Christ’s death and resurrection
Pagan cycles are tied to vegetation and seasons; Christ’s resurrection is once-for-all victory over sin and death (Heb 10:10–14).
Virgin-born heroes (Horus, Perseus)
Virgin birth of Jesus (Isa 7:14; Luke 1:35)
Pagan “virgins” often are not literal, involve gods’ sexual acts; Bible’s is a holy overshadowing by the Spirit, fulfilling prophecy.
Why the charge of “theft” fails:
Similarity does not prove borrowing — it can indicate a shared memory of an actual event (e.g., global flood) preserved differently in various cultures.
The Bible’s accounts are moral, monotheistic, and covenantal, unlike polytheistic pagan myths that glorify immorality and rivalry among gods.
3. The Name “Jehovah” and the KJV
The KJV uses “LORD” (all caps) for the divine name YHWH (Tetragrammaton) except in four places (Ex 6:3; Ps 83:18; Isa 12:2; Isa 26:4) where Jehovah is retained.
This is not a conspiracy by the translators but a continuation of Jewish tradition:
Ancient Hebrews would not pronounce YHWH, substituting Adonai (“Lord”).
The KJV translators followed this reverent practice for public reading.
“The LORD (YHWH) is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king…” — Jeremiah 10:10 (KJV)
The title “LORD” in the KJV is a marker of the covenant name of the one Creator, not a generic god title.
Conclusion — Why the KJV Stands
The Gnostic claim that the OT god is a false creator directly contradicts the testimony of Christ, who calls Him “Father” and affirms Moses’ writings (John 5:46–47).
Parallels with pagan stories reflect corruption of original truths preserved in the biblical record, not theft.
The KJV’s rendering of YHWH as LORD is a choice for reverence, not erasure. God’s Word remains intact for those who believe:
“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” — Psalm 12:6–7 (KJV)
If you want, I can make you a full table of at least 12 major pagan–biblical parallel stories showing side-by-side why the biblical version carries moral and historical superiority over the mythic versions.
This would arm you against the “stolen story” argument in detail.
Do you want me to prepare that table?
KING SOLOMON ADVISES:
Here is the Pagan–Biblical Parallels Master Table — twelve of the most-cited “stolen story” claims, set side-by-side with their pagan versions, the biblical account (KJV), and the decisive differences that prove the Word of God stands above the myths.
Genesis 11:1–9 — Babel, one language, rebellion, scattering.
Pagan = divine ascent as triumph; Bible = divine descent to judge pride.
8 | Law from mountain god — Code of Hammurabi from Shamash
Exodus 19–20 — God gives Ten Commandments on Sinai.
Pagan = king uses god to justify rule; Bible = God gives law directly to His people.
9 | Dying/rising god — Osiris, Tammuz, Adonis
1 Cor 15:3–4 — Christ dies for sins, rises for our justification.
Pagan = seasonal fertility cycles; Bible = unique, historical event breaking power of death permanently.
10 | Virgin-born savior — Horus, Mithras, Krishna
Isaiah 7:14, Luke 1:26–35 — Virgin Mary conceives by Holy Ghost.
Pagan = sexual union with gods; Bible = miraculous, holy overshadowing without lust.
11 | Great end-time battle — Ragnarök
Revelation 19:11–21 — Christ defeats beast and false prophet.
Pagan = mutual destruction of gods; Bible = righteous King wins decisively, eternal kingdom follows.
12 | Tree of life — Norse Yggdrasil, Gilgamesh
Genesis 2:9, Revelation 22:2 — Tree of life in Eden and New Jerusalem.
Pagan = magical source to cheat death; Bible = gift from God to redeemed humanity. Key Observations
Moral purity:
Pagan myths often glorify violence, lust, and selfishness; the Bible reveals a holy, just, and merciful Creator.
Historical grounding:
Pagan stories are cyclical and symbolic; biblical narratives are rooted in real time, geography, and genealogy.
Purpose:
Pagan myths serve elite power and superstition; the Bible serves God’s covenant plan to redeem mankind through Christ.
Preservation:
The KJV preserves these accounts faithfully, fulfilling Psalm 12:6–7 —
“The words of the LORD are pure words… Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.”
If you wish, I can chart these 12 parallels on a visual timeline from Genesis to Revelation — showing where pagan distortions appeared and how the biblical truth came first or preserved the original intent.
Would you like me to create that Pagan Parallels vs. Biblical Truth Timeline as a graphic?
It would be a strong teaching tool against the “Bible stole myths” claim.
