I disagree that we believe in a different God. There is only one God. But you said yourself that you believe it lowers God’s stature if He does what the Bible said He did. That’s gnosticism, where God’s holiness requires a mediator between Him and man.
I said no such thing.

That's not gnosticism. Gnosticism was an ancient esoteric religious practice claiming special hidden knowledge similar to today's New Age teachings that was sometimes syncretically mixed with other religions.
