Is Ail the God of the Exodus?

If you are fundamentalist or easily offended, this video isn't for you.. I find it both interesting and informative.

Ail
The Hebrew word "Ail", many times rendered by the word "God" (and frequently combined with the word Shaddai, and then rendered "God Almighty"), occurs about 250 times in the Scriptures. No less than 12 English words have been used by the translators in the Authorised Version as its equivalent; namely, "God", "goodly", "great", "idols", "Immanuel", "mighty", "mighty one", "power", "strength", "Bethel", "El Bethel", "El-elohe".
Its primary meaning is "strength".

The garden of Eden.

Is human nature fundamentally bad?

Was the serpent evil?

Exodus 6:3 "And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, {Ail Shaddai} but by my new name Jehovah {Yahweh} was I not known to them."

shaarona, if you're interested in this I highly suggest reading "A History of God" by Karen Armstrong, if you haven't already. Very closely related to what you've brought up here and massively interesting.
