I've always found the New Testament God to be much kinder and nicer.

The Old Testament one asks you to slaughter your only son like a ram.

Or commit genocide.

Or to follow all those laws in Leviticus.

Why does the tone change so much from the old testament to new?

same God, different convenant. the old testament is basically about the indigenous people of the earth. the indigenous people of the world and their laws statutes and commandments. those were pioneering times and to whom much is given, much is expected. they were given the laws ( psalms 147 vs 19 and 20 ) and ownership of the earth. they lived in a lap of luxury basically. however inspite of the luxury they went to worshipping baal and milcolm and molech. started sacrificing their babies. started sacrificing each other and started lynching and mutilating all the lords prophets who came to get them to change their ways. these people were BADAZZEZZZZZZZ. so the lord went HARD and HARSH on them. he removed his protection and allowed them to be taken into all manners of slavery and suffering and torture.

with the new testament, their was already the emergence of so many other races who were not israelites so God had to look for a way to get the laws to them too, seeing as the people who naturally should civilize them with the lords laws were themselves in a seriouslly fallen state. so the lord sent Jesus to die for the israelites so they can ressurect from their spiritual death, and then write the laws ( lord only deals with israelites to write his laws ) that will rope in the gentiles and israelites as one. however these gentiles are not jews ( israelites ) so it will be unfair to expect them to follow jewish laws of circumcision and ceremonial laws and traditional laws etc etc. so the new convenant that united both jews and gentiles got rid of all those jewish traditional and ceremonial laws. only the moral laws stand now. that in essence is why the new testament looks softer than the old testament

Rubbish, buzee. The god of OT belonged to the jewish people, not the whole world. He only operated within a specific region of the planet and that was the middle eastern desert regions. Why are you spreading untruths?

All this one way you dey yarn na long tory. Your lord's attitude towards humans, according to the OT part of the bible, definitely changed for the better in the NT part of the same book. Either that, or the deity in the NT was different and of different, more benign and benevolent.

Telling us why your OT lord did what he did to humans in the OT bible is neither here nor there in this thread. The fact is, if the bible was talking about the same god - which i very much doubt - then "he", your lord, underwent a serious repentance and deliverance from his evil ways of old.

The God of the Old Testament asked animal sacrifices , and also virgins and children. He allowed adultery and sex.ual debauchery. He enjoyed punishing his people, and even spreading plagues and floods. He generated life then killed.

He God of the New Testament, begins his role sacrificing his son hanging on a cross, and publicly humiliated. But then, shows an entirely different character. S.ex and adulte.ry become sin!. Murdering others and sacrifice is also a sin ... We could make an endless list of differences.

Conclusion.
THE TWO GODS ARE DIFFERENT

1. According to Christians:
He Old Testament God, who created Satan and killed all life on earth with the flood, was dethroned by a new god. A god who prefers to govern more kindly, but without forgetting that the punishment should be the best example.

2. According to the Jews.
A new god wanted to dethrone the God of the Old Testament, but failed. The new god appealed to all forms of cheating tricks and even murdered his son for the throne, but that god was defeated by the original god. That God continues to call for sacrifices as before, he is vindictive, and does not hesitate to massacre those who are not friendly with him.
