Most if not all of the questions you have asked here have been answered by men and women who are experts in their related fields pertinent to the questions you are asking.
I have a wonderful book entitled: Is God a Moral Monster? by Paul Copan.
He has, in my opinion, done the most research into the difficult passages found in the OT.
Please... not carm.org!!! He is soft like baby shit...
