In the Lord's prayer when Joshua(Yeshuoa) meant our father in heaven did he mean Anu.

In the Lord's prayer when Joshua(Yeshuoa) meant our father in heaven did he mean Anu.

Probably.But was he the good guy or the bad guy for us humans.

No, most certainly not. When it was written into the bible, it was intended to refer to the then Judaic God, adapted to refer to the 'Father' of the christian trinity later on when the gospels were co-opted into what is now called Christianity.

Anu was not a popular god of the region at the time. It is unlikely there is any connection. Although there is an aramaic version of this prayer, it is not mentioned until the new testament, and Jesus, if he existed, is thought to have spoken aramaic, so it's possibly he simply delivered this prayer originally in aramaic, which may have been a commonly understood tongue in the region. It is speculated that the Lord's prayer is intended as a structural example of a prayer, not as an actual prayer to be repeated by the congregations. Given that it isn't mentioned until the new testament, chances are it is not some sort of ancestral prayer - it would have been referenced in the old testament if that were the case.

The semitic gods hail from Egypt, not sumeria. Those gods are an independent pantheon with characteristically different natures and organization schemes. In other words, there is no evidence to suggest that one can superimpose babylo-sumerian gods over 'biblical' gods, or Egyptian gods for that matter.
