    Do you know of any biblical, historical, or archaeological
    evidence that Yahweh was initially a solar deity?

    From a google of
    Is Yahweh a sun god? :

    The following book turns up as first hit:

    The Solar Nature of Yahweh

    Reconsidering the Identity of the Ancient Israelite Deity

    Daniel Sarlo

    In The Solar Nature of Yahweh: Reconsidering the Identity of the Ancient Israelite Deity, the original nature of the chief god of the Hebrew Bible, Yahweh, is reexamined. Daniel Sarlo challenges the current consensus that Yahweh was initially a storm god by examining the relevant biblical texts and comparing them with Ancient Near Eastern texts, ultimately arguing that
    Yahweh was a solar deity. The implication of this research is that Yahweh was not a minor god who gradually accumulated characteristics to become the head
    of the ancient Israelite pantheon, but rather a significant god from the very beginning, or at least before the inception of the United Monarchy.

    The name Yahweh was imported from the south, late in the 2nd millenium
    BCE. Integration of Yahweh with the Canaanite god Bull El was an
    ongoing project for the next several centuries. I've never read
    anything about a solar origin, though, but it's plausible.


    what do you expect from an infidel heathen? He is just plain full of
    shit, and if you read the real Bible, you will find out, your not
    suspossed to listen to them. And doing Business with them is a big no no.
    You will just get God angry.

    OK, I have, on this full moon night, reverted to Goddess,
    who I define as the ruler of the region all/everything,
    as the chair/moderator, in my most recent attempt at
    magickally instigating a global new age, which I am
    reporting on on the thread "full moon leap of faith”
    on alt.religion.druid, for anyone who is interested,
    which I deem more likely if you notice effects, such
    as improved sexual compatibility.

    All I know is Yahweh and Jehovah were extraterrestrials. So were Anu,
    Marduk, Enki, Enlil and many others.
    As for a solar/sun god, I think Ra was more that.

    LOL.


    Earth's true history has been suppressed and falsified by the corrupt. Some
    day the general population will get a big shock.
