evolution of judaism

quote:

---

many lesser gods (ba'al etc. real gods but not right for worship)

They were sinning terribly during the days of worshipping Baal. Lord God of Israel specifically warned them against 'fake' gods (statues that are made by there own hands and worshipped because they are covered in gold etc). Its not about many gods. Its about sinning against there only God.

quote:

---

"Let US create man in OUR own image"

Thats refering to the tri-unity of God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit).

and that the word that's inaccurately translated "God" in the English translations of the Bible, and the word which is used throughout the creation story, is "Elohim", which is the plural of "El". "El" literally means "the mighty one", but would be more accurately translated into English as "god". Conversly, "Elohim" would be more accurately translated as "godS", plural.

There still 'gods'. Because they are 'gods' that other nations worshipped at the time. But go read Habbakkuk 2:18-20. Or Judges 2:11-15. Lord God of Israel, and Gentiles is against all these gods. Because they are false gods. We see religions like that still today, in hinduism, among others.

Of course that what actually happened before Moses is hundreds/thousands of yrs old. And of course it predates the Hebrews. Adam and Eve werent Jewish. But Moses was the one who wrote the book for the Bible. So either the story was taken down through tradition or God simply told him what happened.
