Do Ancient Chinese believe in the Lord Almighty?

Confucius was also for ancestor worship. there's several creator gods that aren't Yahweh

Many parallels of spirituality, just with the words Hebrew labeling it. Most of the Bible does mention Hebrews in OT, but the other teachings Judaism had also reflected Egypt and other religions, just mostly exclusively the story of the Hebrews as all for most parts of OT

Ancestors are angels.

>would like to clarify if they worship the similar God Almighty just like the Jews and Christians? Because I believe God does not approach only to Adam and Eve's lineage but to other nations and its people as well.

>Is there any historical evidence in the bible that has stated the existence of other races like Indian, Chinese, Russian apart from the Jews and the other notable races stated in the Old Testament?
What relevance does this have?

If you want to learn Chinese theology pick up pic related. It's the closest thing they have to a bible.

Huang-Di/Shangdi is less a Hebrew/Christian conception of God and more like Brahma of Hinduism or the Watchmaker of Deism. It is a deity that created the universe, but does not interfere with the creation. Only the Emperor may pray to this deity directly.

So no, nothing close to Yawheh, the kike blood god who actively intervened in the wars of his little tribe.

Chinese speaker here. This is all nonsense.

First of all, Chinese characters have evolved over time. The modern versions that are used in these "examples" are nothing like the ancient ones used 3000 years ago.

But we don't even need to go back that far. We can go back 60 years to Chinese character simplifications.

One of the "examples" this nonsense uses is 乱 "confusion," which it claims to be derived from the story of the Tower of Babel, noting that the left radical 舌 means tongue. But 乱 is the simplified variant. Go back 60 years and the character used would be 亂, which you may note does not have a tongue radical.

But that doesn't leave the fact that the Great Flood event is known to the very first Chinese people right?

>>1636002
These kinds of myths were common for ancient civilizations that appeared on the banks of great rivers that flooded from time to time.

1) Shangdi was more Zeus than God Almighty. And was worshipped by the Shang, one of the many Hua tribes that will eventually make up Han Chinesedom.
2) The Chinks dont have a flood myth. They have a "River that floods us and destroys our crops annually that is so annoying, we united by a legendary unifier- Prince Yu the Great- who created a dam to stop the worst of these floods" myth. There was no boat built, but an earthworks dam: the Three Gorges (a geological formation) was supposed to be Yu the Great's technological feat.
3) The Bible is hilariously localized for a supposed universal religion.

Credible source you have there, christcuck.

This image is false.

1. 口 does not mean "people".

2. The 㕣 on the side means "stream", not "eight people".

3. In Chinese, 几 does not normally signify eight. Eight is usually written as 八, though they share roots.

4. 舟 does not mean vessel, it just means boat. It derives from a primitive pictograph of a boat.

Thus, the word 船 is composed of radicals meaning "boat" and "stream". It's just a word that means a boat or ship.

Please stop repeating this fallacy, it's on the same level as "the devil put fossils in the ground to trick us".

Theologically retarded here, what is the significance of OP pic?

Basically, this guy is claiming that there's evidence in ancient Chinese writings of them surviving a great flood via a boat which contained eight people, as they did in the story of Genesis. It's an "let's try to justify biblical literalism with outright fabrications" episode.

>using the Chinese great flood myth to justify Yahweh worship existing in ancient China

You know that unlike the biblical flood where Yahweh destroyed everything and Noah fled like a bitch, in the Chinese flood prince Yu built a dam that stopped the flood and fucked the water gods up right?

>>1636992
>White man
Builds overglorified raft
>China man
Engineers and builds dam

It was meant to be.
