Why is it wrong to not be able to discern the difference from the god of the old testament, vs the New Testament god? they're the same god, as god does not change …
So if your rebuttal is, no nono they aren't Christians for taking the Bible at face value, then, can't you see how idiotic you sound? the Bible was made to be spread to the masses. Surely god would have known what fickle, weak minded, corruptible, fear based, needy and superstitious mankind is.
Yes the God of the OT is the God of the NT. What you are confusing is why God said that in the OT and it's not part of the NT. I could explain it to you but, you know as well as I do you'll reject it no matter how true it is. So I want waste my time if you don't mind.
I may sound idiotic to you but, that means nothing to me or the truth. Sure he knew and knows, do scientist keep their work to themselves because some will not accept it and others will misuse it or misrepresent it. If those who receive the Gospel of Christ ignore it's truths then what good are they to God's kingdom?

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
