Bible Question (short): Are they the same God |
Question (full): The new testament mention of a Loving God, while the Old Testament mention different. Are they the same God New Testament: 1Jo 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. The Old Testament: De 32:39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. The same God that has a commandment that: De 5:17 Thou shalt not kill. are He the same God that gave command to kill even an infant? 1Sa 15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. If God is love and righteous how come that He command the Israel thou shalt not Kill and the same time give also the command to kill even women and infants? Is He only referring to Israel not to kill each other and they are free to kill others outside the Israel even infants? |
