His god is only in the NT. Don't you know that he's a '"real Christian"?
Not a real christian, but a True one
guess ill explain that : im a true CHRISTIAN because i only believe in CHRIST, by extension the New Testament, and not the crazy murdering desert God that the Jews worship.
I also never said you have the wrong interpretations of the New Testament, at least i dont recall doing so. To me the New Testament is factual.
Actually, that was pretty close.
Although i would not call Yahwe a "murdering desert God". He did give Moses the 10 Commandements, or stopped Abraham from sacrificing his son (thus discouraging human sacrifice). He was, at his time, the closest thing to the real God. But he was not Him, because the True God does not have a "chosen" people.
But yes, the "True" in my name is because i believe in the story of the Christ and not the story of the Old Testament.
So Yahwe was true then, but not now.
And if he is omnisentient why would he need to test Abe at all, shouldn't he already know?
If he was discouraging human sacrifice then why was it then necessary to sacrifice JC to atone for our
sins?
And if Yahwe was the god of the time, what was your "true" god doing?
Talk about a self contradictory belief system!
Alright it seems you reaaaaaally want an answer
Yahwe doesnt exist. So it doesnt matter why he would test Abe. He isnt the one who sacrificed Jesus, the real God did.
The Old Testament, to me, is an old law that had moral principles and worshipped a false God. Jesus put them on the right track, by sending the true message of the Lord, but also agreeing with some of the moral principles of the old law (10 commandments for example)
I dont know what the real God was doing, but his only direct interaction with humanity is sending Jesus to Earth, so you might also ask what he was doing at the time of the dinosaurs or what he is doing now, I DONT KNOW, because im not God.
