Is God different in the Old Testament? (Bonus episode)
from Cowford Catechism · host Kenny Roberts & Nate O'Brien
Why does God seem so different in the Old Testament—ordering judgment and even war—compared to the love and grace we see in Jesus? Is it the same God? In this episode, we wrestle with one of the toughest questions Christians face by going back to the unchanging nature of God. Through Scripture, we see that while God’s methods of relating to humanity have shifted from the Old Covenant to the New, His character has always been perfectly just, merciful, and full of steadfast love. We look at how Jesus reveals the fullness of who God has always been—and why that matters for us today.
