Comment: Perhaps userfy this for Martha and let her work on it a bit. It reads as original research, but there are some scholarly sources, apparently, which argue for there having been polytheism in the early days of Israel, when "the host of heaven" included other gods beside Yahweh/Jehovah, with Old Testament scribes reworking early texts to make Yahweh the only god and the others mere angels or messengers. I have heard this idea from the pulpit of mainline protestant churches. There could well be an article Polytheism in early Israel with scholarly sources supporting and arguing (vehemently) against the thesis.  The one source cited in the article http://www.thedivinecouncil.com/HIPHILDeut32%20Psa82%20article.pdf supports the thesis that Yahweh was not the lone god in the early old testament history of Israel. It does not sayy where or if it was published, but the CV of the author, Michael Heiser, http://www.thedivinecouncil.com/MHeiserCV.pdf says he has a chapter called the "Divine Council" coming out in a peer reviewed dictionary of religion by Intravarsity Press this year, which will provide a reliable source. I do not feel that the present title or even the present main topic of the article really rise far enough above original research. The creator (of the article, that is) says it is under construction, and cites several works she says can contribute to it. Getting it up to standards in the 5 days typically allowed for AFD debates is a tall order, which is why I suggest userfying and coming back with an improved article, such as Polytheism in early Israel. so that Martha can try and turn this into an acceptable article. The one ref seems to have been written by someone with a Ph.D., but it does not state at the website http://www.thedivinecouncil.com/HIPHILDeut32%20Psa82%20article.pdf that it was published anywhere. Without that, it does not qiualify as a  reliable source. The scholarly works it cites do appear to be reliable sources, and a clever enough theologian with access to those sources could probably write an acceptable article

Comment: As you acknowledge, you are attempting to present a very particular religious idea and wish to include only material consistent with that idea. A difficulty here is that for all we can tell, this "ALL IN ALL" concept and the various other attributes you describe may have originated with you rather than being a standard concept in general religious or academic literature. If so, because of its |No original research policy, Wikipedia may be a poor place to present this type of material. I gather that the basic theme underlying the articles you've written is that the genuine Old Testament originally had a pluralistic concept of God that was particularly friendly to Christianity, but this concept was repressed by Levite scribes who repressed alternative views and emended the text in order to turn it into a strict montheism.

Comment: Henotheism#Israelite beliefs and Judaism pre-exists this article, so creating a second on may be a bit premature. Unfortunately, that article also seems to be rather undersourced and the "Israelite beliefs and Judaism" section doesn't seem to have any sources at all. The topic of academic theories that the religion of ancient Israel was once henotheistic does seem to have sufficient coverage in academic literature to be worth an article, and there do seem to be multiple henotheistic theories proposed. (See also, for example, William G. Dever, "Did God Have a Wife?" and the Asherah article). Although not an AfD issue, this article needs significant clean-up and may need to be stubbified given its current state. Religious subjects are very controversial. An article on this type of subject needs to use careful attribution language, to be careful at all times to clarify that it is presenting a particular view rather absolute fact, and to cite virtually all information presented using footnote-style references. It's not appropriate to present the views of controversial theories as if they were undisputed background fact with only a bibliography as references. Conveying ''who'' makes a particular claim can be as important as conveying the claim itself.  The chief problem with the current article is that it's very hard to |verify. It's not easy to tell whether or not significant |original research might be interspersed among cited material or if the article contains |syntheses of source material to reach conclusions going beyond what the sources say. Footnote-style sourcing would address this.  Best
