Don't forget the word "God" is also a made up word. A lot of cultures don't use that word for anything. Human's sure love putting names to things.

To me, I suspect Moses, Abraham, Daniel and others would not recognize our entities of today just as I suspect, most of us do not recognize their entities.

Reminds of 1 Kings and 2 Kings when the Jews 'forgot' their God and subsequently were worshipping another God.

We are referring to the Bible and there is nobody called Apollo in there.
Now Apollos is another story

They aren't the only ones.
Hallowed be Thy Name. Do not take my Name in vain...and so on.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru
