Understanding Demi-Gods in the Bible: Myth vs. Reality

Explore what a demi-god means in the context of the Bible and how it differs from traditional mythology.

48 views

A demi-god in the Bible is generally not recognized in the traditional texts. The Bible primarily focuses on the singular God (Yahweh) and human beings. Figures with exceptional abilities, like angels or prophets, are not demi-gods. Instead, they are seen as divine messengers or chosen individuals by God. Therefore, the concept of a demi-god, commonly found in other mythologies, doesn't apply within Biblical teachings.
