He is the same God in the OT as the NT, and He does not change. The difference between the two are the covenants or lack there of. His putting up with our sinful nature revolves around the covenants.

Let's be honest, the OT is like having an embarrassing older brother that you try and hide in the cupboard when your cool friends come over.

I think not.

You'd actually be better off distancing yourself from the jealous and petty OT God and focusing on the completely different God found in the NT.

I thought you studied scripture? Same God!

Scroll up sir to the 5 examples I gave Fetchmyjunk. Does that correlate with the God of the NT?

I responded to that already. Is that all you have?

Your lack of understanding is showing again.

Is the God of the OT active at all in the NT, other than as a reference of Father? I don't think so.

Unless you believe that Jesus is that very same God?

If so, they could not be more different.

Really why? Hasn't God been working to save mankind throughout time? Seeing God in terms we can grasp (Jesus) just lets us know who we been dealing with. Jesus showed up into human life was due to the work God did in the OT.

Other than flipping a few tables, Jesus did nothing like what God did as listed by Ghost on page 9.

If you believe that Jesus is God, then clearly God received a major character change in the NT.

For those that do not believe that Jesus is God, then it's worth mentioning again that God is absent in the NT.

I did, hence me telling you the God of the OT bears no relation to the God in the NT.

Sorry to break it to you. (Though surprised you hadn't noticed).

More examples of a God a million miles away from the God of the NT? Yes.

What I meant to say is I believe is not humanly possible to consistently obey your conscience day in day out without fail.

And what is it you think this means or proves? It's a stretch, to put it mildly, to get from someone not meeting even his own standards from time to time, to this constituting disobeying the will of a supernatural being.

You should study the whole NT.

For someone who claims to know about God and religion you are as blind as those who saw Jesus do miracles and missed who He was and is.

Do you think a line like this is much of a debating point?
