Lebell, I understand that the God in the new Testament is running under different rules that the God in the Old Testament.

With out speaking for Lebell...this short hand is part and parcel of an anti-Judiasm that plays in to anti-Semitism, and perpetuated grave evils for the last two millenia. I won't tell you there aren't some wrath moments in Hebrew Scripture...but i'm very very catious to let the debate get too simplified. There's a lot riding on how we perpetuate and create images of Judiasm through theology and religious discussion.
tophat...you may also find it interesting that the 50's were a pretty good decade for liberal Christianity. Paul Tillich's "Courage to Be" was widely read, and advocates a post-theistic Christianity. By the 70's, the conservative response was already in full swing, and moved to mainstream culture a few years later. just thought i'd add...
