As an aside, the irony of the phrase "origins of Christian God" is that it is itself an oxymoron. The Christian God has no origins. To speak of the Christian God otherwise means it's not the Christian God.
Hey Trapped, hope you are well. Great article. Thanks.

Okay, God has no origin. But when did the concept of the Christian God originate? And is the Christian God God? Then why differentiate?
