Is the God of the Old Testament the God of the New Testament?

In discussing what some might view as an apparent dichotomy between how we view God in the Old and New Testaments, Fr Aaron provided three key takeaways for us to consider. First, we must understand that the Old and New Testaments go hand-in-hand. More specifically, we cannot properly understand the New Testament without the Old. In his second point, Fr Aaron discussed why God is sometimes portrayed as “an angry God” in the Old Testament. Fr Aaron concluded by explaining that Jesus is not always “Mr. Nice Guy” in the New Testament. While it is certainly clear that Jesus is merciful and loving, His “anger” towards the self-righteous should not be overlooked.
