It seems like you are arguing for the difference between various possible worlds and the actual world. If that is the case, then your argument against the God of Christian theism fails to accomplish the poignancy it seemed to aim for, since you are left with the conclusion, "There is only one actual God of the Old Testament," which is the God that is consistent with a sound exegesis of the texts in question.
Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when
called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason.
