The Problem With Deities in the Bible

Jared: Can I ask just to back up on that and to get to Jared's question maybe one just preliminary question is the problem that we're looking at how deities can be both the messenger or the ark. Well, this problem grew out of a master's thesis I wrote while I was at Trinity Western University and I wanted to write on the development of the concept of monotheism but couldn't gain any purchase. So yeah, go ahead. How would you frame it or that's why I was tripping over my language because I want to not center things that you don't want to center or maybe even re-conceptualize how you're even thinking about this?
