No God is not violent. The God of the Old Testament is the same God of today. He loves us all but He is a jealous God. After all He did create everything including you and me. He wants nothing but good for us but like any good father he will correct us when we are wrong. He loved us so much that He let His own son be sacraficed so that through our belief and acceptance of Jesus as our savior we may not be punished by spending eternity in hell. That is a loving God. There have been times that He has shown His wrath but think of it this way. If someone gave you life, everything that you need, loved you and cared for you and then they professed that you don't exist and that you have never done anything for them, how would you feel? God wants our love. God loves you. Really.

What revelations the holy books of the three religions provide and how they relate to one?
The Old Testament from the Holy Bible relates specifically to Jewish scripture, and many of the things in the New Testament were prophesied about in Jewish scripture. Muslim scripture does not relate to either Jewish or Christian scripture because Jewish and Christian scripture are from God.
Why do some say that Jesus came to make the Old Testament not important?
Jesus was the turning point in the Bible where God basically became less militant. In the old testament, God was violent, destructive, and hateful. A majority of the 2 million people God killed in the Bible, were in the Old testament. So once, Jesus came and asked God to forgive us, He became the loving God we think of today.
Why does the Church need both Scripture and Tradition?
Catholic AnswerThe Church needs Tradition because that is what Our Blessed Lord gave Her. She needs Scripture because She inherited the Old Testament from the Jews, ultimately from God, and Tradition gave Her the New Testament. They are both the Word of God, which means that, in a very real sense, they are Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. But in the end, Tradition (with a captial "T") is what God gave us, all Scripture came out of Tradition and the New Testament expressly tells us that we must abide by Tradition and Scripture.
Did God stop talking to man in the new testament?
While direct communication from God to individuals may not be as prevalent in the New Testament as in the Old Testament, it is believed that God continues to communicate with people through scripture, prayer, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The New Testament emphasizes a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ as a way for believers to access God's guidance and wisdom.

Is mammon a canaanite god?
I don't think so. If Mammon is a god, it is not mentioned in Scripture. BUT mammon is mentioned in the New Testament and it means "riches" or "wealth". Some people idolize riches and wealth and this is idolatry and is as bad a worshipping a false god. See Matthew 6:24
