I didn't make this claim. I said it is the exact same god. It was jesus' father that said these words. The same unchanging god. Whether or not christians can make an out for themselves to avoid the chore of burning witches is not the point. The point is that it is jesus' dad that said to do this horrific thing. Jesus himself was born into this OT jewish religion and walked among the jewish throng that believed that this is the right thing to do. Did jesus correct them by saying that daddy was wrong about that? Did jesus say "forget all those old rules, my dad was just being an ass?" Do you think that in all the 33 years of his life down here he never once heard of anyone talk about killing witches? When jesus went into the temples, did he say to the rabbis that they had it a little bit wrong, or everything wrong to the point of calling them a completely different religion?
First off, there is no contemporary evidence of the alleged Jesus character's time of his existence. All the Gospels were written after the alleged time period.
Secondly, OT vs NT, kinda misses the point that the OT god is a bloodthirsty selfish narcissist.
So ignoring the OT is kinda like if a spouse beats the shit out of his wife, says he wont do it again, does that excuse his abuse? Oh and when you get to the end of the book in any case, god goes right back to abuse and torture.
So I really don't care about OT vs NT argument crap because they will simply move the goal posts. The book is full of violence, and the head character God either condones it, or partakes in it, and at the end of the book he sticks us in a death cage match and says "The loyal ones who kill for me get to hang out with me" all others will be tortured for eternity.
Really nice guy huh?
