God is never changing, correct? If he was the monster in the OT, then the NT does not redeem him.
I agree that God does not change. My understanding/belief is that we were confused as to what God was really like during the times that the OT were written. And so Jesus came to set the record straight. That's partially why it was so hard for the people of that time to accept Jesus as the Messiah... because He was different from the OT God they believed in.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
