God and the changing understanding among men

[F. V. B.]

Early monotheism might be known of, but what was the earliest would not be known to history. The first people made knew of God, and originally spoke with God, and there is only the one real God. So as they knew that, with speaking with God, they would be the earliest monotheists. That didn't last though. Generations came after them not having ever spoken with God, and there was belief then that anything might be god. So such needing to be appeased, as they saw it, they might do anything but needed to make sacrifices to what gods there were, to appease them. This became more universal practice then.
