❓ QUESTION TIME: IS YAHWEH DISTINCT FROM ELOHIM? WHAT ABOUT ASHERAH WORSHIP? | The Muslim Apologist

The full question asked was: "Is there evidence of Yahweh being a distinct god from Elohim? Where does Asherah worship come into the picture?" This question was asked during a live session at @JacobBermanHistoryValley

00:46 🧠 The term "Elohim" originally meant "all the gods" and represented a pluralistic concept before monotheism emerged.
01:28 🌍 Asherah worship was a popular religion characterized by nature-based traditions, life, death, and regeneration, but it faced a long-standing Reformation and struggle against traditional paganism.
03:35 🚺 Many ancient societies, including indigenous tribes, traced their families around maternal bloodlines rather than paternal ones, leading to different approaches to sexuality and family structure.
04:30 🎉 Ancient celebrations, such as Dionysian worship, involved mourning, resurrection, feasting, and sexuality, reflecting the cyclical nature of life.
05:39 🌍 Matriarchy was the historical default for most of humanity's existence, with patriarchy becoming dominant only in the Iron Age.
