Here's some food for thought, and I am in no wise telling people what to believe or Critizing anyones belief system.. But as I dig into this thing, I find it harder to believe that the same "ONE God" of The Old Testament is the same God who speaks through Jesus in the New Testament.
It just doesnt even add up
Not to mention phrases like (let us" and the Elohim) which speaks of the multitude of God-forms...
Setting that aside amongst the other times God has referred to himself in a plural sense. .. Just look at his views and personality from OT and how he speaks through the person of Jesus in the NT
If this " GOD" is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow, why is his views so radically different from one testament to the next?
How can the old God of WAR, Slavery, Slaughter of innocent children, Divine favoritism, Harsh punishments for seemingly small acts (ie turning a woman to a pillar of salt for looking back lol ) ,A God who had no problem killing up folks first born children and allowing enemy tribes to get brutalized, allowing harsh treatment of women ect. sleeping with minors and family members and POLYGAMY be the same God that encouraged Jesus to preach about turning the other cheek? And to LOVE thy neighbor, adultery and the many other things he taught... we are most certainly not speaking about the same God, and if we are speaking about different aspects of the true divine that comes according to what people need, then we are indeed speaking of the Spiritual concept of the Divine and not the RELIGIOUS Dogmatic concept of GOD..
Either the bible is contradicting, or someone is covering something up and trying to make something make sense that doesn't make any sense but everyone is too afraid to question is cause we all know what happens when we go against and question the OT God lol Love and forgiveness of the NT God goes out the window, ...
does God have an alter ego or is someone lying about something?
When dogmatic morality and blindsided emotion is left out, the student can begin to think critically about EVERTHING.... im js
