The christian religion likes to state that other religions are "half truths" So in a sense is the god/s that billions of other people on earth learn of, worship and have a lot in common morally and ethically partially the god of which you speak?
secondly and more specifically what is up with the huge mood change between the wrathful god who brought pestilence, genocide, and some of the worst horror the world has ever known in the old testament to the almost hippieish all forgiving god of the new testament?
If I have a glass of pure water and then add one grain of salt to it, it is no longer pure. It is impure.
A half-truth is a lie.
If my compass is off by 1 degree, then by the time I have travelled 10000 miles I will be well off course.
God has never changed. Jesus Christ was God in the flesh. He could have called upon legions of angels to destroy his enemies, but he had a mission to complete.
He came to give himself up for the forgiveness of the sin of the world.
God is love in the Old Testament. God is love in the New Testament.
If you are having difficulty reconciling the old and the new then I would like to suggest that you continue on with reading the New Testament, contnue with prayer, all will be revealed.
Gentleness is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. However, if you think that what is coming is going to be gentle, then may I direct you to Revelations.
Blessed is the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
