You are being challenged to put that theology degree (which has been such an albatross to your daily life) to good use and demonstrate both the assumption of pettiness and jealousy, as well as the alleged distinction in attitude of the two general dispensations.
Pretend I don't know the first thing about either presentation and the only aspect you're able to use as evidence is action, permissive or sovereign.
Super easy (and superficial) to cherrypick quotes (i.e., I am a jealous God), which may be enough for those who don't wish to know anything beyond a topical understanding.
The bigger question and concern: how does He act?
My assertion: the facile claim does not withstand even the first round of scrutiny.

(Or take a more direct route with the killer bears being sent in 2 Kings 2:23-25 and how this marries with the actions of Christ? )
Edit: Heads up, you really don't want to put the focus on how God 'acts' in the OT, you really don't.

Hint: your position isn't merely wrong, it's more in line with ignorance than anything resembling scholarship.
If you walked away with the impression that God was this implacable tyrant who magically transforms to a heart-shaped helium balloon within a few hundred years, the money was not well spent.

He's still waiting for you to actually tell - instead of continuing to dance around it.
No surprise that you've chosen to deceitfully portray the situation as if you're waiting on him. It's what you do.

The irony is, you agree that the God depicted in the old and new testaments are incompatible. It just doesn't suit your current trolling to acknowledge it. This is made embarrassingly obvious for you in your last post in the slavery thread:
'1) The reality is that In Leviticus 25:44-46 God is depicted as clearly and unambiguously condoning chattel slavery.
2)The reality is that the depiction of God condoning chattel slavery in Leviticus 25:44-46 flies in the face of righteous God spoken of by Jesus during His ministry.'

Gargantuan hypocrisy!
Do you even believe that God exists ? teacher to us all about God ?
Monsterous and sickening hypocrisy from ThinkOfOne.
Take note of the coming dodge, evasion, dance around, sidestep, abject hush of silence and ignoring of a simple question above.

He can answer whatever questions he wants. He needn't answer to anyone but himself. The spirit of jc is in all of us

You and others advocate for a different gospel. Since you and others are unable to refute the truth what I post, you attack the messenger and/or ask off-topic questions as a way of deflecting from this fact.
Hypocrisy? Seriously? Back it up. Cite examples of where I've danced around the topic at hand by asking inane questions and pretending that I'm waiting on other posters. You seriously can't make the distinction between that and not answering off-topic questions?

Your being exposed has obviously upset you so you’re projecting your behavior onto other posters as a coping mechanism. It’s dishonest and ethically repulsive, but I’ve sadly come to expect no better from you.
