The God of the Bible was worshipped from Neolithic times, and a historical document of the Patriarchs was established, and kept through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and this document was of the God El--a Mesopotamian word for Lord--that migrated up into Egypt where you see the worship of Yahweh, which then gets transplanted to Canaan by Moses. So, the God of the Bible is not "Baal" but El Yahweh Elyon. As the God of the Patriarchs was always one preoccupied with righteousness, and opposed to sin. You see that from the days of Hammurabi, which were inspired by Laws codified probably by Abraham, and also why we find concurrent myths in the ANE that are similar to the Bible's, is that Abraham was a Mesopotamian Lord. As "El" is an Akkadian word that means "Lord".
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
