Is or was the Christian God really a Fire Deity?
Communication using a Pillar of Fire and a Burning Bush could suggest this
Also the Devil is supposed to be related
a lot of fire there.
The Images of a Bearded White man, came much later from Rich white guys paying artists, who wanted to get on the good side of the Church, in order to ensure a place in Heaven. The Rich Christian Church also paid for a fair bit of Art themselves.. Who were mostly ultra- religious white guys at the time.
So?
Both Trolling and Seeking Serious Answers
Perception of God, Faith and Belief, is a reason why there are so many versions of the Christian Faith
A few serious Answers would be nice, But ~Trolls feeding the Trolls must be allowed.
As is the nature of Yahoo Answers, especially in this section
Additional - Words like "Fire" and "Light" in many religions are taken to also mean "Knowledge"
That is the trouble with taking ancient texts literally
What exactly does a Bush of Knowledge look like?
Don't just quote passages from versions of the Christian bible, the Torah or the Koran. Please explain your reasons for using the passages. after all many people have gone to war over different perceptions of a line of religious text... I am hoping for a more peaceful discussion... Well I can hope.
Water or Aquatic deities feature across several cultures With Fountains of Youth and Knowledge appearing in more than one belief system.
but there is no way for sure that a fountain is either Water or Fire, It could equally be another material.
That is the trouble with reading Ancient texts with a modern mind and education.
So many original Meanings have been Lost.
Not only Mis-translation, but also phrases or words have changed meaning, but the text was never up-dated with this fact.

YHWH was a war god, back when the Hebrews had multiple gods.
He may have been associated with fire as well, both are destruction, war needs metals and metalworking needs fire.
In the turbulent area between the Egyptian, Persian and Greek empires their war god became dominant and led to monotheism.

I think god might have been a sun god - (the ultimate fire) this is why clockwise is consider a good direction and anti clockwise a bad one and there is the staff of Apollo (the medical symbol) that healed the Israelites.

trolling along it is quite an interesting twist, the fire thing, quite like your posted posit.
but, as that (fire) was a major thing for prehistoric Mankind, not all that surprising maybe.
Does not encompass the cult of Cthulthu, which is quite watery, even more amniotic in the Human race memory.
Dunno what that may prove though, but food for thought

THE REAL MEANING, GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE
THE FIRE OF LOVE AND TRUTH NOT THE KIND THAT WILL BURN YOU
BIG MISTAKE ON THOSE WHO BELIEVE THAT
GOD USES FIRE TO MAKE HIS PRESENCE KNOWN
SUCH AS THE BURNING BUSH THAT MOSES SAW
THE FIRE THAT KILLED THE SOLDIERS WHEN THEY CHALLENGTH THE WORSHIP OF GOD BY ELIJAH
