[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting topic. Some scholars actually argue the Old Testament is polytheistic or at least adhering to henotheism. (That's Judaism but still something I thought about when seeing this thread.[/quote] I often think about that when I read the word "Elohim" (technically plural "Gods") written in a prayer instead of "Eloheinu" (singular "God"), or the many different "names" we have for God. The explanation I've read was that the ancient Jews subsumed all of the many gods of polytheistic people they conquered into our one Abrahamic God (eliminating the goddess consorts like the Shekhinah along the way--but that's a conversation for another time). But I kind of like the many faces. [/quote]
