I would say Christian biblical texts and its ideas regarding Yahweh are skewed. The Jews and Christians both fashioned their 'Almighty' God after an ancient pre-Islamic Arabian (3000 BC) deity.
Yahwah (also known as Yaw) is a north Arabian rain god who was worshiped by the Semitic tribes who lived near the Gulf of Aqaba. The worship of this god is believed to have originated with the Midianite, Hebrew, Moabite and Edomite tribes of southern Jordan and Palestine. To the Hebrew tribes of ancient Palestine, their deity Yahweh was a major tribal god and his cult became the religion of Judaism although his worship was common to many Semitic peoples. His sacred animal was the dove and to the Midianite and Edomite tribes he considered to be the husband of the fertility goddess Ashira. The god was also known as Ea to the Babylonians, Yahu to the Aramaeans the and Yah to the Egyptians.
In the oldest biblical literature, Yahweh is a typical ancient Near Eastern "divine warrior", who leads the heavenly army against Israel's enemies; he later became the main god of the Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) and of Judah, and over time the royal court and temple promoted Yahweh as the god of the entire cosmos, possessing all the positive qualities previously attributed to the other gods and goddesses. By the end of the Babylonian exile (6th century BCE), the very existence of foreign gods was denied, and Yahweh was proclaimed as the creator of the cosmos and the true god of all the world.
