Bible Question (short): god's nature |
Question (full): How can I understand God's nature revealed in the Bible between 1) the Old Testament books of prophecy 2) the Psalms and 3) the New Testament? 1) shows His anger and direct acts of punishment/discipline on His people, 2) seems entirely just, loving and beautiful and 3) shows His mercy and holiness through Jesus. Most people say that God isn't the author of "bad things," but the Old Testament shows otherwise. He is my Lord and Savior regardless; I just want to understand more of His nature from a perspective that includes the entire Bible. |
