So I have a question, I read the bible (in jail, cover to cover) I want to know if
#1- the Old Testament is considered to be as true and important as the new?
#2- if the answer to #1 is yes then why is God so much different in the 2 books? It occurred to me that God was vastly different, that forced me to wonder if He realized he was flawed and decided to change (therefore rendering Him just as bad as the people He was guiding), or if he was just a flawed character written in a book by men? God didn't write those words, the bible as a whole is contradictory to itself.

#1 ... Yes he's the same, God NEVER changes otherwise he would be a liar therefore not perfect. #2 God’s wrath and His love are revealed in both testaments. Read that link and answers it perfectly.

I read the link, for me it raises more questions than it answers. I'm not a bigot, I'm not gonna try to stomp all over your beliefs because truthfully, I respect what the New Testament teaches. The story of it all is what I cannot allow myself to trust. Being written by the race of men it isn't worthy of my trust. A book that powerful needs to be criticized harshly. Thank you for answering my question though.
