- The whole idea that there is an inconsistancy between OT and NT misses the
- mark. God is the same God in both books. His mercy, compassion, stedfast
- love, justice, hatred and anger towards sin are expressed in both testaments.
- In both testaments is the idea that God doesn't change. Start with the
- idea that the same Being is talked about in all the books of the Bible. If
- you start with the premise that there's a different God in the OT than the
- NT, you're going to have a diificult time ever meeting up with the One God
- of the Bible.
