In my last post I discussed that religion is a process. Ideas are constantly borrowed, built upon, and made into something different in religion all the time. So in response to the question is it problematic that elements of this God have been borrow from other religions traditions, I say no, it just shows where Christianity came from. God's public image has changed multiple times since his conception. Johnathan Edwards' sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" illustrates the view of God as a wrathful God. Today this view is not a popular one today. Most people today I think see God as compassionate. Most of the psalms portray God in neither a compassionate or angry light. They show God as a person who defends/saves his people and gives them the power to fight their enemies. The psalms imply that if you don't follow God's laws then you should be afraid of the consequences, but it doesn't strike in me the same way that Edwards' sermon does.
