God the Father is the same. and requires the same destruction of sin/sinner, now as he did then. However Jesus/God was destroyed in our place so no further destruction was or ever will be needed. So what does Jesus want in return? To those who believe end the destruction. God the Father's 'destruction' will be unleashed not in this life but the next.
jesus didnt preach destruction jesus preached love and turning the other cheek to enemies the opposite of the ot god . if the made up god in your made up book was real why should anyone worship this god if he is all about destruction and unfairness such as punishing innocent people for the crimes of a few of them like he does endlessly in the ot ?
