L.S.D Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Regarding different God in Old Testaments and New Testaments: - God in Old Testaments and God in New Testaments IS the same. - People argue that God in Old Testaments is unforgiving and without mercy, and yet God ALWAYS forgives the Israelites and deliver them from their problems. Save them from Egypt, save them from the Phillistines etc etc This is a showcase of love and mercy. - God in New Testaments is all about love and forgiveness, and yet God DO punish people and show them His wrath. (Forget what happens, need to read up again :) Therefore, God in Old Testaments = God in New Testaments = Jesus Amen to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't he want to save all of his/her/whatever creatures? But no, he has singled out the Hebrews for only god knows why. Doesn't that strike you as a bit odd? Kind of like stories told so people would feel better in times of trouble like when they were enslaved by the Egyptians? It's all a bunch of crock to me.

Agozer Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 It seems to me the god is just some formless entity that chooses to do stuff at the most inappropriate of moments....or then he doesn't do anthing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no, he has singled out the Hebrews for only god knows why. God singles out the Hebrew because of a promise (covenant) He made to Abraham(technically the 1st Hebrew). During that time, men are evil and revel in sin. God made a covenant with Abraham because Abraham is righteous and walk in the way of God (meaning religious and remember and thanks God always for all the good thngs he has).
