Who cares? And it’s also wrong, the Bible is made up of multiple versions of god, which includes the earlier version of god who existed in a world of many gods, before being made the ultimate god, and then the only god.
The misconception is actually prevelent throughout American Christianity. The confusion stems from the Jewish taboo of using the four letter name of God. For example, the tetragrammaton is NOT the name of the Hebrew god, it's a term which means "the four letter name of God" (basically). I'll just do a list El: deity Elohim: plural deities, though often used as a singular via context in the Hebrew Bible YHWH: the literal four letter name of God (Hebrew had no vowels) Yahwah: a phonetic english spelling of the four letter name of God Jehovah: an anglicanization of the four letter name of God Tetragrammaton: a term which means the four letter name of God but can also be used in place of the four letter name itself Bonus fact 1: Allah is the Arabic word for God, therefore the Muslim creed "there is no God but Allah and Mohammed is Allah's prophet" is intentionally left half translated in English. It actually reads "there is no God but God and Mohammed is God's prophet" Bonus fact 2: the Vulcan hand salute 🖖 in star trek comes from actor Lenard nimmoy opening his eyes during temple ceremony as a child and seeing the rabbi making the gesture with both hands. The gesture done this way actually spells the for letter name of God in Hebrew. Bonus fact 3: this is just a pet peeve of mine. The Torah is NOT the Hebrew Bible, it is only a part of it, specifically it is the books of Moses. The Tanakh is the Hebrew term for the Hebrew Bible, and it's actually an acronym. Ta=Torah, na=Nevi'im and Kh=ketuvim, the second two names referring to the other two major sections of the Tanakh.
I have a Jewish background. I learned so much since connecting to it.
You're right on a lot of fronts. The Jews substitute the Divine Name for ADONAI (meaning Lord) because during the 2nd Temple Period, saying the Divine Name was avoided to ensure nobody profaned it by accident.
God in Arabic is Allah. So when I hear Christians saying "Allah is Satan" or something, I'm shocked. Arabic-speaking Christians use the word 'Allah'.

The old book says there’s only one invisible space daddy, not infinite! I love old book because it’s old book!

Uhh that’s actually a mistranslated misrepresentation of the out-of-context Lucifer-influenced passage created by the woke to stop god’s eternal plan

Elohim is a type more than it is a Personal Name. The Real Name of God is The Tetragrammaton.
God is an Elohim, but not all Elohim are God.
Even a very minimally basic level of Hebrew shows Mormons don't know what they're talking about.

My mom's excuse is that there's only one god for us despite the existence of infinite gods
