Baal is just the old semitic word for "Lord". Just like the old semitic word for "God" is "El". Do you think the original bible is written in King James English or something? All those "thus saith the Lord" passages, say "Baal".

All those "thus saith the Lord" passages, say "Baal". Some may, it depends on when that book was written..
IIRC, some say Allah too.. It also means "The Lord".. in Arabic..
And some say Yahweh..
But Israelites turned away from using Baal as a word for the Hebrew God..
It became associated with a pagan religion in direct conflict with Judaism..
This happened well before Christianity, and an additional 600 years before Islam..

Care to back that up?
Here is a link(s) that might help.
I'd like to know where you got that notion from. I looked a bit because your post had me curious, but I could not find supporting evidence.

Not really. It wasn't Baal talking to Moses.
