Why can't Christians say that parts of the Old Testament don't apply??..

RE: Why can't Christians say that parts of the Old Testament don't apply??..
Yeah, Yahweh seems to have been a fairly minor god in the Canaanite pantheon and may have been a local deity in Judah or at least the desert regions of the south. When Jerusalem grew around the 8th century BCE he may have gotten a promotion.

Quote:YAHWEH: Yahweh is added here because there was a short time in which He was simply part of the Canaanite pantheon. He was a Son of El; and he was part of the court of El as cupbearer along with Baal. Later, as the National God of Israel, Yahweh was equated with El, and Asherah became His wife.
