The incessant use of triple-parentheses and all the kneejerk antisemitic language was a little too subtle, at least now we have some real clarification as to the agenda of this forum.

Who took it from Simon Magus, aka Simon Peter, aka Saint Peter, the Zoroastrian priest and first Apostle of Jesus.

The earlier stories of Solomon’s seal takes place in the babylonian talmud which is earlier than any of the apostles lives? Or do I misunderstand your point?
Zoroastrianism (ancient Persia/Iran/Aryan) predates Abrahamic religions.
Jews were basically nomads who got caught in the middle between Cretan and Persian (and Egyptian) empires expanding.
The Cretan empire expanded outward from Greece/Aegean Sea and became known as the Phoenicians. They brought their religion with them which incorporated Moloch, the Minotaur's Maze from Knossos.
The Persian empire also expanded outward at this time. They brought their religion with them which incorporated Sky Father (Deus / Djous / Zeus Pater) and Earth Mother (Anahita).
The cultures crossed mainly in the Lebanon/Levant/Canaan regions. This was where the two cultures mixed together.
The apostles of Jesus are basically prototype messiahs who were canonized (baptized) into a new persona in writing to form the Bible. They did not actually come together as 12 of Jesus' followers all alive at once. It's a metaphor IMO. The Bible was written as an understanding of the melding cultures.
Very interesting take... I too think the stories told in the bible are likely re-tellings of older tales shaped to (at the time) modern sensibilities.
What do you think about the idea that yahweh sabaoth was once the jews god of war? And also what are your thoughts on the gnostic gospels found as part of the nag hammadi discovery? I find the gnostic version the most resonant and reconcilable with reality but I always savor the ideas of others who think for themselves
Yaweh is more difficult for me to unravel, and I have tried many times.
Here are the curious things I found.
Yaweh (YHVH) is called a tetragrammaton, which means a 4-letter word. And then you have the concept of Metatron, which states it is a "lesser God" and "my name is in him". Isn't it curious that you can spell Metatron using the letters from tetragrammaton? My name is in him.
Furthermore, it is obvious that Yaweh (YHVH) can be pronounced a whole lot of different ways:
The partial reason for this is that Hebrew didn't have vowels, the word is literally YHVH but when spoken in common tongue it comes out sounding like "Yaweh" but that's only because of the vowels we have inserted between the consanants.
The last one (He who) I came up with while meditating on this confusing concept.
Say it like a title "He who" does this. "He who" knows all. "He who" is almighty. It is a nameless title. God has no name, only a title. Similar to "I am that I am" or "it is what it is". God is what it is, there's no name, it's more of an understanding of the natural order of the universe, rather than some kind of object or person. So it only has a title. This is of course from a more Gnostic viewpoint.
I am also a fan of GnosticWarrior.com and those style of interpretations. I am almost certain that the story of Jesus is about enlightenment through plant spirits (drugs). The Last Supper was an ayahuasca ceremony. Basically divination, resulting in a supernatural experience. Joseph Campbell explained this with his work on the Heroes' Journey, which Carl Jung expanded on. Look into Soma and Kykeon and it will start to make more sense. Or just consider "communion" involves wine (blood of Christ) and communion bread (flesh of Christ), the bread used to contain psychedelics but religious reform has removed this from the ritual. Christ means anointed (exalted, literally high out of your gourd). If you don't believe me then look up the original recipe for the Jews unleavened bread. They put the grains on top of syrian rue to bleach it. Syrian rue contains Harmala alkaloids which are psychedelic, and when mixed with DMT, create a fantastic spiritual experience. The Jews were known to create their holy Ark out of Acacia, which contains DMT, and in this Ark they stored the holy sacraments of the covenant, including "manna". Hint: it's psychedelics. In this Ark they also stored Aaron's Rod / Staff, which was in fact a grain threshing rod (they beat the grains out of the plants with it). The rod could have been absolutely caked in psychedelic matter. This makes even more sense when you research Saint Peter / Simon Magus. His history talks about how he could bewitch entire towns (with a drug, possibly datura). This was seen as witchcraft, but re-rolled into holiness, as they discovered drugs could be used for healing. So they enacted prohibition and took the drugs for themselves, to use for healing, and claim it's the power of God.
As for Yaweh being a God of War, look into who freed them from captivity? King Cyrus of Babylon.
I have a ton more stuff in my notes which I could dig into if you have specific questions.
