***At a really deep level I wonder if the Old Testament's messages are more black and white or 'structured' so that their ability to do simple analysis of the train wreck that liberalism has become impaired.***
Christians have read that same OT for 2K+ years...
Took a college theology course on prophets long, long ago, very rusty synapses... can't discuss all the ramifications on one post but the depiction of God in the two books is different.
I relied on a another website to better capture the thought.
"Old Testament God is showing us God's demand for justice, while the New Testament God is showing us God's provision for mercy we didn't deserve, which is the definition of the grace of God toward us."
