Can I be candid?

I have read about Lilith btw.. I have not done an indepth study to formulate my thoughts but just wanted to let you know I know all about Lilith.. or used to! It's been a while I have read that account.

I am currently doing a study on 'the seed of the serpent' though and the 'synagogue of Satan'.

I have often wondered why the early Israelites eventually became monotheistic. I haven't ever understood that, except it appears that it was a situation of identifying with a tribal deity. But they were originally polytheistic, which is why they discouraged worshiping other gods, instead of claiming there WERE no other gods.

Good question!
I am reading through the OT with some friends. I have an understanding what took place. I am learning a lot and seeing things I never saw before. An answer to your question would be long winded from me and I don't want to be long winded.
