Because Logos (as in the Scripture) was being discussed on this list.

Heidegger defined Being as that which in the last instance overwhelms
everything, just as Marx defined economy as deciding over everything in
culture and society, but only in the last instance.

Since God can be defined as Total, Fundamental and Absolute, we see that God
and Being share the same attributes, so we could believe they are One and
The Same Being.

I was aware you were not implying that. What I offered is some commentary
about the Scripture, for we were already speaking about the wolf (video
lupum).

Greetings,
