You: Then he's still just as cruel now as he was in the ot.
Christian: You just don't understand. God doesn't change, but the dispensation changed.
You: So what god dispensed in the ot he is no longer dispensing.
Christian: Yes. See he didn't change. He meant for it to be that way from the beginning.
You. He meant to change?
Christian: No, no, no.
You: You have a definition of change to which I am not privy.

Christian: 'cruelty' is a label the wicked have given God. Just because God does not make life easy or even leaves you to deal with the natural consenquences of life, Does not make God cruel. Rather does not mean God in seeking to cause pain. Pain is simply the result of living in sin.
Douchbag/you:So what god dispensed in the ot he is no longer dispensing.
Christian: Actually he did and t was 'done to Christ" so you even as someone who does not believe does not have to deal with the consenquences of breaking God's law.
You. He meant to change?
Christian: God did not Change who he punished did.
You: You have a definition of change to which I am not privy.
Christian: because you are not actually listening to what I have said you are just sticking to a atheist script that does not make provisions to answer the correctios I made in your understanding of Christian doctrine.
