Old Testament God vs. New Testament God

Think you know the God of the Bible? This narrative invites you to delve deeper, challenging traditional perceptions by contrasting the Old Testament's depiction of Yahweh with the New Testament's portrayal of Jesus. It explores the unsettling stories where Yahweh commands devastating actions, such as the conquest of Canaan and the annihilation of entire populations. Drawing on Gnostic interpretations, it suggests that Yahweh may be the Demiurge—a flawed creator fixated on control and punishment—while Jesus represents a higher, benevolent deity aiming to liberate humanity from a corrupted world. This perspective raises profound questions about the nature of divinity and the consistency between the two Testaments.

Engage with this thought-provoking exploration that examines the drastic differences in laws, justice, and the path to salvation presented in the Bible. Is it possible that the wrathful God of the Old Testament and the merciful God of the New Testament are fundamentally different beings? By analyzing key biblical events, teachings, and the revolutionary message of Jesus, the narrative challenges readers to reconsider long-held beliefs and consider the possibility of a deeper spiritual truth. This compelling discussion not only highlights the contrasts but also encourages a journey towards a more nuanced understanding of faith and the divine.

The people were worshiping false gods and killing innocent lives. God brought justice and Jesus brought mercy.

[OWLCLANDESTINE]

*Whoa! The Gnostic perspective is fascinating—Jesus freeing us from the harsh rule of a flawed creator? That’s a twist I didn’t see coming. This really changes how I view the Old Testament versus the New Testament God. This video is gripping, and I feel like we’re uncovering hidden secrets. May God’s light guide us all as we seek understanding*

[benjaminburkett]

Jehovah is one of the Elohim and a minor one at that!!! He was a god of war and jr to many others because he was given a people as servants that had no land and had to take from others. The God known to Jesus is the Creator of the Universe, Iam. Jesus preaching against Jehovah is what he was crucified for!

[Rich-vpih]

"Yahweh's solution to a corrupt world is to destroy it" (3:05): Actually Yahweh's solution to mankind's corruption is to redeem it through Jesus Christ, having concluding all under sin.Rom 3:9.

[sparrowprince]

So tired of control, fear, religions, etc. Tired of people and tired of life itself. Tired of everyone knowing what happens after we die. That one philosopher who said hell was other people was right.

[Liam-s]

This video truly encourages me to stay strong in my faith. It’s a great reminder that God is always faithful, even in hard times.

[denofearthundertheeverlast]

Yahweh is Satan, Jesus said to not despise the "little ones" (children) Yahweh did exactly that. Yahweh said to Love your neighbor and HATE your enemy...Jesus said to LOVE your enemy, bless those that curse you and spitefully use you. there is no similarity there, they are exact opposites. also this is a great example of the Kingdom Divided Principle. and if God never changes then Jesus would never go against what Yahweh said if he was really the father.

[MidnightOtter-]

He's same in the old and new testament. If you read all through the old testament he offers forgiveness and mercy to those that trust and believe in him

[davidluy]

Thank you very much for this video. The Old Testament portrays God to be a cruel God. I refuse to believe that. I thought there might be a lesser God at play. But I didn't live back then 1000's of years ago, so I'm not sure what was going on. I know one thing, I'm glad I didn't live back then. I'm 68 years old and back in 2014 I started my journey learning about God. I became a true believer without anymore doubts. Since then I have had many little miracles that I cannot explain. I've had seizures since I was a teen-ager. I no longer have seizures for several years now. I had a bipolar disorder with severe depression. Also I haven't had that problem for several years now. Those are just a couple of miracles out of many in my life. That's why I refuse to believe God is a cruel God. With the guidance of God, God has taken great care of me, all of my life. I've cheated death more times than I care to talk about. I do not follow man's religion, I follow our father and Jesus. Several years ago I was reading the Book of Enoch, and Enoch said God wants his people to be in control of themselves all the time. I have been an outlaw most of my life, so when I read that, I thought that was a tough one for me to follow. It's taken me years but I am in control of my emotions. I don't get angry, depressed, stressed or have any anxiety problems. I'm doing good. I've came a long way, but still have a long way to go. I can tell I am in control of my emotions because of my interactions with my dogs and cats. My animals are very happy. It's almost perfect harmony in our home. Also other animals take a liking to me. My doctor says I am in phenominal health for my age. I give all my thanks to God. I do not take God or Jesus for granted. I walk my dogs 7 days a week and do a variety of other exercises to maintain my health and physical fitness. It seems like it's all working out good for me. Again, great video of possibilities. I have an open mind. May many blessing fall upon you all.😇

Team Jesus here. He is my guiding light.

[PowerofBible_YT]

This journey reveals that, though His methods may appear different, God’s core nature—His justice, compassion, and desire for relationship—remains consistent. Studying both testaments together enriches our faith and highlights the beauty of God's plan unfolding across time.

Yet in Revelations Jesus is coming back with a vengeance.

A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'...
My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to an NDE...

Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence – the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future – right down to the minutest particles of dust – each being an individual ripple or wave.
The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter – I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist.
For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects – including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars – none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is.
Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down – Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists – including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them – our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant – our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma – and more importantly, our enlightenment.
The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory – whenever we experience or express our emotions – or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
The second law – Renge – Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho – these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
The final and third part of the tri-combination – Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge – or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter – as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication – perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us – all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux – constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ – the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation – rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge – and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu – which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’.
On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives – as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives – even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances – turn them into positive ones – or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are – regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect – the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication.
For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.

NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self – this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things – such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally – rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within – including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time – to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

This man is always accusing God of destroying wickedness, is like he wants wicked man to get away with their wickedness, God have the right to destroy all wickedness.

[damiansharp]

I have watched several of your videos now, and I like what I see. The narratives and explanation you present feel much more logical to me than the generally accepted Religious narratives. I am not saying I fully believe everything being presented, but to me some claims are very plausible.

I also love it that you do not try to force these philosophies onto people, but instead present them in a way which then entices people to do their own research and come to their own conclusions.

[kgomotsodiale]

God(Yahweh) has never changed, He will never change and doesn't need to change. He is still the same God that rains fire and brimstone, destroys heathen nations and brings proud kings/leaders to their knees.
The only reason we seem to not feel the wrath and anger of God is because of the blood of His Lamb that was prepared for the sacrifice, before even the foundations of the world. Every sin, foul saying against God, and unbelief is covered by the blood of the Lamb, which is our Christ. Once the covering of Christ's blood is removed, the worlds and all the rulers will see that God is still God. He shares His glory with no one. He sits alone above all and created all for his own will.
The moral of my story, run to Christ before it is too late. God's wrath is not a thing to play with. It is absolute!!!

[jayscribe]

The Old Testament and New Testament are different, very different. This video clearly illustrates that.

[markosgeta]

You analyzed clearly what I always argue with my mind. Thank you so much..

[HelenaTangimetua]

The Old Testament speaks about the coming of Christ and His sacrifice "Jesus". The Lord God requires obedience, Because there was no Saviour in the Old Testament, there was only death. In the New Testament, Jesus is here, our Saviour is born and instead of death to all, we have new life.

[gabriellec]

Yahweh’s Advocate here: Close observation, intentional objective study, analysis and perhaps with a little help from the Spirit within is how we learn what truth and what is false. We know there has always, and will always be, like within us and within our fallen world, opposition and contrast; dark & light, good & evil, right and wrong etc. The Genesis account of how it all began could be referring to, not just the creation of our outer world but also the creation of our inner world including chaos and order as part of life itself, within and without. Why? For the dance, passion, joy, and sorrow, pain, tears etc. which create desires to create what we want to feel while living in our human bodies. Without knowing both sides of the spectrum, within and without ourselves, how would we learn the most important lessons of gratitude, true love, patience, respect, endurance etc. Yahweh, may have been showing the side of Himself that is inherently in all humans as a result of our dark sinful side when we have no control of our emotions, desires or anger. What do we see in Yahweh that we haven’t seen in humanity? What have we learned about ourselves as being created in the Image of Yahweh? Before and after the Fall? Peace was He before, Pain was He after. What if we reverted to the Initial image of Yahweh without sin? Would he turn from a lion to a lamb? Or from being filled with wrath because of sin to being filled with Mercy because Jesus was here to clean everything up? Could it be from beginning to end our own journey being reflected in Yahweh’s Journey? We are after all created in the image of Our Creation. Nevertheless that’s my view and like everyone else I’m always learning and growing and doing all I can to make sure the reflection I reflect in my image is the most incredibly loving side of Him possible.
