The OT god and NT god are literally different gods. CMV.
The OT god is firmly monolatristic, other gods canonically exist. The NT god is after Judaism transitioned to monotheism, so god had to change from less "my dad will beat up your dad" to more "god is responsible for everything so he's omnibenevolent but don't think about it too hard."
Depictions of YHWH are inconsistent from book to book in OT, and even within one book you sometimes get different pictures. You have to remember that these texts were composed over hundreds of years.
The scriptures are not univocal, not inerrant, not divinely inspired.
These remain the academic consensus and what is taught in seminary, which is to say ministers deliberately lie to the laity.
