- The Ancient Hebrews had only one God with no physical form, and only possessing spiritual attributes of goodness, mercy, justice, forgiveness, and kindness.
- The Sumerians originally practiced a polytheistic religion, with anthropomorphic deities representing cosmic and terrestrial forces in their world. During the middle of the 3rd millennium BCE, Sumerian deities became more anthropocentric. Deities such as Enki and Inanna were viewed as having been assigned their rank, power, and knowledge from An, the heavenly deity, or Enlil, head of the Sumerian pantheon.

How did the Sumerian gods differ from the one true God?
AnswerThe essential similarity of all gods, including the present-day Christian God, is that their believers regard them as the "true god". Presumably either the Sumerian gods were not really true gods, or the Christian God is not, creating a logical difference that can not be explained without faith in one or the other. The other essential difference between the gods of the Sumerians and the Christian God, is that the Sumerians accepted the existence of many gods, while modern Christians believe in only one God, although as a Trinity.
