Old Testament vs New Testament God
Is God Mean? Understanding God's Actions in the Old Testament
Episode 1
Deconstruction of faith has become somewhat of a buzzword in our culture as we have seen famous christian authors, famous pastors, and famous worship leaders all come out to publicly renounce their faith. One of things nearly all of them attribute to being a cause in their changing beliefs is a seeming inconsistency between the Old Testament and the New Testament. They claim to see a loving and compassionate God in the New Testament, and a harsh and vengeful God in the Old Testament. This seeming inconsistency leads them to believe that the scriptures are flawed and errant, and therefore must not be divine; which ultimately, leads to them turning away from their faith. But does the Bible actually present two different versions of God? Or does an honest investigation into the Scriptures reveal that God has always been the same? That’s what we’re exploring today, and throughout this entire series.
Richard Dawkins is famously quoted as saying, ”The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser, a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
Unfortunately, you can see from this quote there is a an idea floating around out there that Old Testament God was mean. And, I’ll admit, at face value there are some pretty challenging things to process in the Bible. Things like God flooding the earth, God commanding the Hebrews to wipe out entire people groups, references to slavery in the Bible, eternal torment, and the concept of God intentionally hardening people’s hearts just to name a few. We'll be looking more into all of these topics, but for right now let’s focus on establishing the differences and similarities seen when comparing the New Testament God with the Old Testament God. We're going to do that by focusing on three things. Press play to get started!
