The problem as I see it there is more than one god in the OT. The Genesis stories tend to come in pairs. In one part of each pair god is corporeal and rather human looking and behaving. In Exodus god gets rather less fleshy in his personal encounters with humans but but he still wobbles towards human like corporeal form. He gets less human as the OT continues from there until eventually he communicates through writing including writing eaten by a prophet.
Christians have pretty much settled on an incorporeal god, but all those corporeal passages of the OT are still hanging around creating a problem for modern Christians like GC.
If Christians just admitted that the Bible was written by people with a changing concept of god, apologetics might get easier. Of course you have to give up on the Bible being inerrant.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
