Could be two different gods. After all, one of the commandments heavily implies the existence of other gods and the Abrahamic god not wanting any of them to come before themselves.

No, he is called the same things in the New Testament, including “the God of Jacob” (Acts 7:32)

Exactly what a God would tell people if it wanted to take another's followers with minimal effort

Something I failed to mention, the “other gods” thing was supposed to simply mean not worshiping pagan gods like Zeus, and not putting anything above God

Exactly, and there is no legitimate way to simultaneously claim that Abrahamic God exists and the other gods humans wrote about did not.

Saying the Bible is proof for this claim is the ultimate "just trust me dude." Like killing someone then telling the police they should just believe when you say you didn't, because why would you lie?
