MHz is not far off the mark. The the god of Israel evolved from polytheism (cf. El, Asherah, and others) to a form of monotheism, albeit with angels and devils which in other religions would simply be called "gods."
In the Old Testament YWH is refered to as the god of hosts. The hosts were his heavenly armies. He is the chief god of a pantheon.
Religions don't evolve in isolation.
lol Not much is clear in Christian mythology. At least not as clear as say, Greek mythology where Erebus slept with Night to produce (with help from Love) the offspring, Ether and Day. Gaea appeared. Then Night all by itself sprouted Fate, Sleep, Dreams, Nemesis, Doom, Death, etc.
Gaea sprouted Uranus, who became her lover, and they sprouted the Cyclopes, the Hecatoncheires, and the Titans.
etc.
Everything can fit in a neat little package, unlike Judeo-Christianity.
I think it's all about interpretation. So the way I think the KJV puts it, this god made Adam, cloned Eve from him, with a little genetic manipulation to the chromosomes and told them to screw but not to screw up. And they did both anyway, kids being kids and all that. And nowhere does it say that this god has/had a main squeeze. But, Mary, being the god's concubine, and producing Yeshua, the illegitimate kid was the result.
To me it's just as daffy as the Greek version but a lot less clear.
