It's only an article of your own personal faith that there is a continuity. Jews disagree. Honestly, this is pointless, the article of your faith that you're trying to protect is in no way impacted by the truth of my comments. You, are not a jew. You do not share the moral sensibilities of the authors of the ot. You are a christian. You share (at least some) of the moral sensibilities of the authors of the nt, instead. Christ, the very idea of christ, is itself the defining and major point of moral divergence between two distinct religious and moral traditions.
Take a line when you get one.
He doesn't need a line in my view. The discontinuity is between the God of Scripture, about two thousands years of His Church and modern theologians who like to imagine God as being a real nice guy. The God of Sinai may throw you into hell, they say, but surely Jesus won't. There are in for one big surprise.
