I John 1:5 "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."
I Corinthians 15:26 "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."
There is no darkness in God. He considers death an enemy and has never killed anyone and never will. However, because He is all justice, He allows the potential for sin and the potential for the devil to acquire the power to kill people.
I Corinthians 15:22 "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."
Hebrews 2:14 "...that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;"
God never says to kill anyone in general. One of the reasons for calling out the Children of Israel was to make them a 'model' nation for all the world to see and emulate. The same is true for the New Testament Church of God today.
In the Old Testament God commanded the Children of Israel sometimes to kill individuals and peoples for judgment for sin under the Mosaic law. But in the New Testament, under grace, there is no such commandment to kill.
The difference of the sons of god , in the two testaments are that in the old testament Jesus is the son of god. But in the New Testament we to can be the sons of god . If only we do believe that Jesus died for our sins.
This is not an entirely accurate statement of the Gnostic Christian belief about the nature of God. They could not believe that the harsh and unjust God of the Old Testament was the same as the loving and forgiving God of the New Testament, so they believed there must be two gods. The God of the Old Testament became the Demiurge, while the supreme God is the God of the New Testament. Thus, God of the New Testament is good and the Demiurge, the God of the Old Testament, is the bad God.
In Matthew 12:49,50 Jesus says anyone who does the will of God is my brother, sister and mother
I regard New Testament as grace frow GOD.
Many Gnostics saw the God of the Old Testament as an angry and capricious god, who demanded sacrifices, encouraged genocide and was vain, in that he demanded constant worship. They could not imagine that the God of the Old Testament could be the same god as the loving god of the New Testament. Because they could not see the Old Testament God and the New Testament God to be the same, they decided that the Old Testament God was a lesser god, who was not even aware of the New Testament God in the higher heavens. Thus, he believed himself to be the only God and the Lord of creation, but there was (in Gnostic view) a higher God. To many, it was not so much that the Old Testament God was evil, it was that he was wholly ignorant.
God.
God
Both the Old and New Testament say the same thing in that regards, You Can't No one according to the Bible itself has ever seen God. But it is also written in the New Testament, "That in Heaven, no one is closer to God Then Children" And how can anyone Resist that Glow. How can you see the face of God in your own daily life?
You can tell them that the New Testament contains historical records about the life of Jesus and the establishment of the Christian Church. However you should also teach how the Old Testament is a record of man's history and God's dealing with mankind throughout history. In the Old Testament the nature and character of God is revealed and we learn about the relationship of God and man. You should also teach how the New Testament is a fulfillment of things foretold in the Old Testament and how the coming of Christ is another way in which God has spoken to all of mankind. The New Testament cannot be explained without reference to the Old Testament. Even themeaning of the words 'old' and 'new' 'testament' are important in explaining the New Testament
The Old Testament laid the foundation for the coming of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The New Testament fulfills the prophecies and promises made in the Old Testament, showing how they are interconnected and part of the overarching narrative of God's plan for humanity. Jesus himself often referenced the Old Testament scriptures to demonstrate how they foretold his arrival and mission.
