- Different in the way God shows his (sorry, His) wrath/love.
-
- OT: stone the sinner (my fav: gathering sticks on Sabbath)
- NT: "let he who is without sin..."
-
- I think that is a LITTLE different.
- In the OT, if anyone got in His way (Sodom, Eqypt, Babel, etc), He
- wasn't slow in throwing his weight around. In the NT, He didn't
- smite a single person (well, maybe Judas. But in a round-about way.)
- Of course there a few books in NT that look like they belong in OT
- (Revelations, for one), but those don't focus on the life of Jesus,
- which seems to be the main crux of the NT.
