    I’ll need to know the exact verses. Yahweh has already had a physical form - through Jesus, who’s identified as the actual creator of the world. There are plenty of appearances Jesus makes in the Old Testament as well through Christophanies. Now I hear you saying something about “oh that’s just a modern Christian interpretation put on old Jewish texts”, but the Incarnation of our Lord actually shows that God has always had that physical aspect of Him - Jesus Christ. Who was shown in fullness during the 33~ years He was on earth.

    Again, the existence of worship of other gods like Baal and Asherah doesn’t mean Christianity was ever polytheistic - in fact, the narrative strongly shows Baal and Asherah to be false gods - attributions. Not something that was actually canon, just a competing belief system. Kind of like how Mormonism claims to be an addition to Christianity, yet isn’t Christian canon but is just a competing belief system, you had someone attributing a goddess to a yahweh as his wife.

    In Christianity though, the bride of Christ is actually The Church - but that’s a whole and another topic.

    It’s talking about concepts, and the false gods existing as a concept. You could even have something like money, etc, be your god. What’s your source on “Yahweh’s wife” apart from the Church itself being His bride? (Which still doesn’t make the Church a god)

    1. We literally have a surviving copy of Isaiah from before Jesus was even around, nevermind the Roman Church

    2. We have complete manuscripts of the New Testament that are still dated from before Constantine

    3. There is no evidence of the New Testament or Old Testament being altered by the Roman Church
