vengeful god of the old testament and the hippie god of the new testament.
I've never been so sure you really weren't reading either carefully.

Quote:
Comfort, O comfort my people,
says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and cry to her
that she has served her term,
that her penalty is paid.
Quote:
And I will have pity on the One not pitied
and I will say to ones who are not my people, You are my people;
and they shall say, You are my God.
Quote:
He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
Quote:
Like one who kills a son before his fathers eyes
is the person who offers a sacrifice from the property of the poor.
The bread of the needy is the life of the poor;
whoever deprives them of it is a murderer.
To take away a neighbours living is to commit murder;
to deprive an employee of wages is to shed blood.
Guess the Testament.
