The you simply don't understand the nature of Yahweh and the OT - it is COMPLETELY racial. Here is a response to another conversation I was having on the matter. You can check the concordance yourself. The Bible NEVER claims Yahweh to be the sole creator God. Not once. The other cultures never 'heard of Jehovah and found him to be true'. They were forced into conversion by the Roman Empire after Jewish missionaries had subverted it to Christianity. It was at the point of a sword. Anyway, here is the response on that other post:
But you believe that THE God is Yahweh/Jehovah, correct? The Bible and even Yahweh himself, says otherwise. I'll show you through biblical references. I'm going to stick with calling Yahweh Jehovah but they are interchangeable. And I'm going to revert what is translated as 'God' back into the original hebrew that it is translated from in order to demonstrate that Jehovah was just one of many equals rather than the supreme God. Elohiym is plural.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning Elohiym created the heaven and the earth. Gen 1:26 And Elohiym said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: Note, it is 'our', denoting the plurality of the Elohiym.
Exo 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of El Shadday, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. A case of deception through identity theft - pretending to be God Almighty only to then reveal his deception and acknowledge that he is but Jehovah - one of the many Elohiym.
Lev 18:4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am Jehovah your Elohiym. Every time the Bible says 'I am the Lord your God', what it actually says is 'I am Jehovah your Elohiym'
Exo 20:2 I am Jehovah thy Elohiym, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other Elohiym before me. One of many acknowledgements of the existence of other Elohiym.
Exo 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I Jehovah thy Elohiym am a jealous Elohiym, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
1Ki_11:33 Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the Elohiym of the Zidonians, Chemosh the Elohiym of the Moabites, and Milcom the Elohiym of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.
See that there are many Elohiym who belonged to many peoples and that Jehovah is but one of them, rather than the Supreme God himself? Jehovah, the jealous Elohiym, commanded the racial group under his charge, the Israelites, to genocide many peoples in a war against his fellow Elohiym.
I know you will liken this to the gnostics, but don't they have a point? Jehovah was one of a council of Elohiym who created the world and created man each in their likeness but Jehovah wants to kill all his fellow Elohiym and genocide their progeny. Doesn't Jehovah fit the Lucifer bill in wanting to dethrone the actual almighty and take his place by commanding his people Israel to go on murderous rampage after murderous rampage and enslave all the other peoples on earth? I appreciate that you believe in the account written by the victors that those vanquished people deserved it for being all manner of wicked etc must you surely must take pause and know that such evil deeds will of course be 'justified' by those who carried them out through painting their victims as inhumane and evil at the root - just like they did with Russia via Bolshevism and Germany in WWII and even Palestine today. 'They ALL deserve to die - even the innocent children - because they will grow up wicked and evil etc'. It is the propaganda of the victor, justifying their barbarism by victim-blaming.
Remember Isaiah 60:12 says Isa 60:12 For the goy and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those goy shall be utterly wasted.
We are to SERVE Israel as wilful slaves or face complete annihilation.
