According to established Christian doctrine, Jesus only appears in the New Testament. Supposedly, the deity speaks to him 3 times (Mark 1:11, Matthew 17:5, John 12:28). None of the quotes infer speaking from heaven.
In the Old Testament, God spoke to various individuals such as prophets, leaders, and ordinary people who had a special connection with Him.
In both the Old and New Testaments, God spoke to Jesus in an audible voice. At Jesus' baptism in the New Testament, God's voice was heard affirming Jesus as His Son. In the Old Testament, on the Mount of Transfiguration, God's voice was also heard confirming Jesus' identity.

The period of 400 years during which God did not speak is often referred to as the "silent years" between the Old Testament and the New Testament. This time frame is not explicitly stated in a specific verse, but it encompasses the period from the last book of the Old Testament, Malachi, to the beginning of the New Testament. This gap highlights the prophetic silence before the arrival of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ.
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.
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.
