Yahweh began as just another minor member of the Mesopotamian Parthenon. The Jewish people were polytheistic until at least the 4th century BC. There is evidence to support this both within the pages of the Old Testament and the Elephantine Papyri. Archeology tells us the Yahweh figure even had a mother figure consort well after the time most Christians claim the Jews were fully monotheistic.
El elyon, one of the names for God listed in the Old Testament was the high God in Ugarit.
Starting with your first sentence, I want you to substantiate it with sound reason and evidence. After you are done with that, substantiate the rest of what you said. Then post it.
