FacePalm of the Day - Debunking Christianity: From a God in a Box to the Universal Sky God: Eternal Blessing and Suffering for All

Harry McCall has post a fairly lengthy article attacking Christianity by taking a nuanced view of history trying to make it seem like the God of the Old Testament is not the same as the God of  the New Testament and that the concepts of Heaven and Hell have changed and therefore we can't trust the Bible. I highly recommend reading the whole thing for a laugh. However, instead of responding to him point by point I think want to only discuss one of his ideas and point out its only the tip of the iceberg about how wrong he is.

McCall writes:

Remember, this was not the Universal Sky God of the New Testament, but a small localize god who only had a contract (covenant) with Israel alone.  Thus, we find Israel’s great King David worried that Box God does not have a house to live while he does, but like a homeless bum, Box God  has to live in a tent:  the king summoned Nathan the prophet. "Look," David said, "I am living in a beautiful cedar palace, but the Ark of God is out there in a tent! (2 Samuel 7:2).

McCall thinks that in the Old Testament, God is only the god of the Jews. He's wrong. Israel is God's special possession but God consistently represented Himself as God over everyone!  None of the scriptures McCall brings up says that God is not God of everyone!

God said the following to Abram:

² “I will make you into a great nation,
    and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
    and you will be a blessing.^[a]
3 I will bless those who bless you,
    and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
    will be blessed through you. ”^[b] - Genesis 12:2-3

If the goal was to bless everyone all over the earth, then Yahweh can't only be concerned with Jews only.

This undermines the whole article!
