What are these Greek and Hopi scriptures? I am not aware of them.
Plato's Timaeus and Critias
Book of the Hopi
Do the Hopi or Greeks revere these written versions of their stories as scripture?
Inasmuch as history matters to them.
In other words, you have no idea if these written texts are regarded as scripture.
of course they are scripture
the best writing of the Greeks and Hopi
Generally, people consider some writing "scripture" if it is "sacred"
The 'and' is important there. Do they consider those writings holy?1. considered to be holy and deserving respect
Do they consider those writings holy?
1. considered to be holy and deserving respect
Why do you consider them "holy"? You are not (to my knowledge) a practitioner of Hopi religion.
I can understand that people in other religions find a text sacred and consider it scripture … without considering it holy or sacred myself.
Perhaps it really is holy. Really is sacred.
And in that case I can benefit by learning.
Is "holy" or "sacred" an intrinsic property of things or ideas?
Or, is it something we assign to things that we care about?
I don't. What makes you think you know that the Hopi do?
God is holy intrinsically
Which god? I don't know the Hopi religion, do they even have gods?
There are multiple levels of heavenly realms
Zeus is part of a lower heaven
The Hopi speak of The Creator
