Have you ever wondered why in the Old Testament God wiped out an entire population in a global flood except for one family? Or why, when giving the land of Canaan to the children of Israel, He commanded the destruction of the entire Canaanite nation? Does this sound to you like a loving God, or does He seem more like a vengeful tyrant or egomaniac, demanding service and worship?
On the other hand, there's the God of the New TestamentJesus, the Messiah. He is loving and patient, caring and selflessnot at all like the God of the Old Testament, right? He even gave His life for the people He loves. So how do we reconcile this picture of God, as seen in the life of Jesus, with the picture of God in the Old Testament? Are there two different Gods? Or perhaps this shows two different sides of the same Godwith the Old Testament displaying God's justice and vengeance toward the sinner, while the New Testament shows His mercy and forgiveness.
