Yes, as a matter of fact he was part of the Canaanite pantheon. Yahweh is the God Force. Yahweh is also a War God, Storm God, and a Volcano Deity. The name Yahweh itself may be from the Sanskrit "YHVH", meaning "Ever-Flowing" and thus relates him to volcanic activity. After a short time, Yahweh became the National Deity of Isra-El, and was equated with El of Canaan. Along with this, He adopted Asherah (the wife of El) as His own wife. Also, the Hebrews seemed to have associated Yahweh with Baal, making the two gods (just as with El and Yahweh) nearly identical.
Of course, this was before the Israelites adopted him as their main God, and long before the Christians made him into a universal deity. In his most ancient manifestation Yah was just a local tribal volcano God whom people would make animal and human sacrifices to appease his wrath. That is why he carries those traits of being a angry and vengeful deity well into the bible.

Yahweh is Elohim. In My research I have found that they knew Him as Yah - El. Archaeology proves this. Yet from the beginning of time people decided to call Him anything they wanted to. Shaul said " When they knew Yahweh they didn't glorify Him as Elohim" They turned to the worship of demons (the spirits of the giants who are the offspring of the mating between angels and mankind destroyed) and fallen angels themselves, animals and other human beings. Anything other than following The Almighty Yahweh (better pronounce Yahuwah)

What you assert is that Jesus is a pagan God because he's "a God make sure", portion of the God-head, and had a seen describable type. in truth you're agreeing with the Jewish position on him. I agree, notwithstanding, I doubt that is once you meant to do. To the answerer above, Judaism does no longer evaluate God to be a male. both energies of woman & male are protected & pronounced in our descriptions, besides because the absence of any sexual identity. My handle it -- and it truly is a normal one for Jews to take -- is that if someone is achieving to a God means, nicely there is merely one precis accepted God, so that they could have reached that God means. we don't have self belief we've the merely pathway to God. Others would locate G-d too, & that is nice, inspite of in the adventure that they use diverse words to describe it. ======= Princess Jean Your remark makes no sense. It change into by regulation (nuremburg) that Hitler got here to dominate & do evil. also, that concept that the Jewish God is violent comes from Christianities violent teachings that Judaism is undesirable (which some Christians have moved previous.) in case you examine an identical memories Jewish-sort you'll see lots a lot less violence in them. starting up with our Tanach is worded in a special way in diffused techniques over the OT version that later replaced a lot of it.

I think that Yahweh is a Jewish name for God, as did the Jews Used the name IL as a name for God, IL being the king figure of the Caanannite pantheon of gods and they even passed over the rituals used for worship of the pagan IL for God.Hoped this helps.

Why does your being an "evolutionist" have any significance in this question? Yahweh is indeed a God (people should capitalize the "g" on God regardless of whether it is in a monotheist or polytheist context.)

I think it's 2 words, probably with their origin in Mesopotamia
the first word is Yehu, which is the root word for God in most ancient middle eastern languages, like Greek (Yehu - Zeus) or Latin (Yehupater - Jupiter - god father)
the other part of the word sounds like the word "present" or "be in present" or "exists" which is "Hove" in ancient Hebrew.
so together it probably means the Present or existing God.

It is the Hebrew god, which the original Hebrew word translated to YHWH (English) or JHWH (German). From this, after vowels were added, derived the term Jehovah which seems to have stuck.

Yahweh was the 'God' of all Jewish people which by inference makes it the 'God' of all Christians.
