Their god is based on a war god. It was never omnibenevolence. Jesus’ teachings tried to retcon and change the image of the vengeful war god. That’s why his teachings was seen as blasphemous. But it doesn’t matter what Jesus said. Christians still believe it’s the same god that made first contact with Abraham. So it is still the war god.
I thought he was a fusion of 2 different Canaanite gods. El and YHWH? Maybe I’m confused. But If memory serves, a rain and a war god. Could be wrong tho.
A very fair historical assessment. I only meant modern teachings and was basing it off my theology classes in high school and college. The Catholics are very fond of their absolutism lol. They’ll put Omni in front of anything.
