The poster of this thread was trying to say that the God of the Old testament was YHWH (Jealousy, Murder), and is not the same as the God of Jesus.

Too long to post, read this page and post your comment here - http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread516139/pg1

Depends on your pov..

..the hardworking and honest Egyptian who lost his first son and suffered the effects of multiple plagues because his king refused to let the Israelites go.. Would you see Yhwh as good? Why not kill Pharoah?

..the Canaanites whose lands were taken by the emancipated slaves of the Egyptians.. Would you see Yhwh as good? Couldn't an Almighty God turn the wilderness to land of milk and honey?
“When the Lord your God brings you
into the land where you are entering
to possess it, and clears away many
nations before you, the Hittites and
the Girgashites and the Amorites and
the Canaanites and the Perizzites and
the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven
nations greater and stronger than
you, and when the Lord your God
delivers them before you and you
defeat them, then you shall utterly
destroy them. You shall make no
covenant with them and show no
favor to them”

There were too many killings 'rituals' that were quite unnecessary, and does not describe the loving Father Jesus described.

The epitome of prime evil!
You need proof?
The so-called garden of Eden. . .
The tree of knowledge. . .
Only a sadist will wish for others to remain perpetual ODES!
Thanks to the serpent. . .we don' need 'HOLY GHOST' pehnis to phock!

Jesus Christ came to enlighten us more, and i twas not a sin. And when this same God said He is a Jealous God, that we should not worship any other God - clearly He feels threatened because He is definitely not the Almight God - the Alpha and Omega.

This is rather interesting, many views and yet so few comments. . . .not even insults? This is so unlike nairaland.

He doesn't feel threatened the fact is he ask for exclusive devotion from those who decide serve him. he doesn't force anybody to serve him but if u decide to, it but be exclusively. A fact we should know is that anything Yahweh does is always good.

^^^Have you read that book specified above? If you read your bible well, you will see several instances where He told them to kill those that did not serve Him.
And His description does not fit what Jesus described in the new testament at all. Read that book, you will see that it is completely based on the bible.
