    Then check the sources listed under that wiki article.

    If you couldn’t be bothered to look up something as simple and undisputed as this, then it’s really silly to make a stand with “Wikipedia isn’t a source”, it just makes you look like a bad troll.

      What do you mean “undisputed”. The whole pantheon thing is a historical reconstructed theory, not a fact. You’d find millions of people who’d dispute a claim as absurd as pre-messianic Judaism not originally being monotheistic.

      Now yes, the israelites have practiced polytheism several times. The Bible records this. But the Christian religion has always been monotheistic.

        Yep, undisputed. Except by religious zealots who resort to bad faith arguments when some of their cultist beliefs are not accepted as fact by non believers, but on those subjects, those people aren’t taken seriously by anyone except others from their cult, so yes, pretty much undisputed.
