God has been Zeus, Baal and every other major god because the Israelites were pagan/polytheist. They always try to make the scriptures to be the truth but history tells a different tale. Who is lying?
1 kings 18:21
21 Elijah went before the people and said, โHow long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.โ
But the people said nothing.
