Old Testament vs. New Testament God
Support the channel by visiting https://brianholdsworth.ca
Whenever anti-Christian polemicists want to take a swipe at the Bible or the Christian tradition, certain passages of the Old Testament seem to be a favourite haunting ground for easy target practice.
Richard Dawkins, for example, has made accusing the God of the Old Testament a range of pretty loathsome adjectives a bit of a trademark for himself when he calls him jealous, petty, unjust, vindictive, bloodthirsty, racist, infanticidal, and so forth.
And I have to admit, that there are times I’ve spent reading the Old Testament with a sphincter fully clenched because of how terrifying I imagine some of those interactions with God would be if I was inserted into the story.
And I don’t know about you, but it’s certainly given me pause on such occasions to ask, how can this be the same God that Jesus calls father and reveals to us through his teachings and example? You might be tempted like Marcion to think that they aren’t the same God and that the God of the Old Testament must be some kind lesser being and the one that Jesus reveals the true Supreme God of the Universe.
