The variance with the greek/hellenism is pretty well illustrated in the OT laws, and in fact the basis for many wars with nations rejecting the premise of an invisibale, indescribable and unfathomable God.
This sentence is poorly constructed and I cannot understand what you are trying to say.

A supernova is POWER meddling in the tribal affairs of men is trifling.

The OT defies this description...
quote:
Ezekiel 9:5-7
"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all - old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told."
No mercy and kill them all! The fact that this sounds like the philosophy of Al-Qaeda is no coincidence.

Jeremiah 51:20-26 "You are my battle-ax and sword," says the LORD. "With you I will shatter nations and destroy many kingdoms. With you I will shatter armies, destroying the horse and rider, the chariot and charioteer. With you I will shatter men and women, old people and children, young men and maidens. With you I will shatter shepherds and flocks, farmers and oxen, captains and rulers. "As you watch, I will repay Babylon and the people of Babylonia for all the wrong they have done to my people in Jerusalem," says the LORD. "Look, O mighty mountain, destroyer of the earth! I am your enemy," says the LORD. "I will raise my fist against you, to roll you down from the heights. When I am finished, you will be nothing but a heap of rubble. You will be desolate forever. Even your stones will never again be used for building. You will be completely wiped out," says the LORD.
A trash talking god? Just like WWF. Now why would the creator of the universe need holy hitmen to carry out his destruction? Is God incapable of doing his destruction?
And one of the more ludicrous rules by the creator of Galaxies...
quote:
(Deuteronomy 25:11-12) If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, 12 you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.
Let the boys play eh? and show her no pity. These are not the thoughts of God - but men.

In a war scenario, the usage of God's help is reasnable and not as per the greek.
Greek gods get into the affairs of wars all the time.

In the dispensing of justice, for example, we can say God is the judge, without alligning this to actual impersonification this factor is correctly an exressionism, denoted by its context of reference being within the realm of justice.
This sentence just does not make any sense.
