BTW I do agree with you re the character of YHWH, but here is a curious thing...according to Biblical Scholars NOWHERE in the New Testament is The Tetragrammaton (the name of God) mentioned. It's not there in Aramaic, or Hebrew, or Greek or Latin.
Perhaps Jesus wasn't actually referring to YHWH when he mentioned his Father? He did refer to The Pharisees worshipping the 'Father Of Lies' and belonging to the 'Synagogue Of Satan'. Who was the God of The Pharisees? Hmmm.
There are some suggestions that St John of Revelations used YHWH but that is contentious and it could also have been added over the centuries. Whether YHWH is truly the 'Father' Jesus refers to is unknown, but wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't.
The New Testament is the only authority Christians should be paying heed to anyway, imo.
