Do Christians believe JESUS is the GOD of the Old Testament?
The Trinity contends that all three parts of God are one without any separation between them otherwise it would be proven to be polytheism.
Therefore, according to Christianity the God of the Old Testament is Jesus.
If you say yes, then you cannot ever deny that he sent the commandments written in the Old Testament.
Someone can say they don’t follow them anymore…ok…. But if they ever deny that he made these commands then JESUS was not the GOD of the Old Testament.
Here is one command JESUS sent down:
"If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, 21: but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.” ---- Exodus 21:20-21
If a Christian denies it was ever sent down by Jesus then either Jesus is not their God or they don’t believe that the Bible is the word of God.
Whether these are still enforced or whether these were sent millenniums ago…… are not the question.
The eye opener is that Christians cannot deny that according to their faith Jesus sent this command down.
Maybe enslaved men can handle a beating but fragile women would be in pain beyond imagination.
The point being made is not that Christians are released from following the divine law….the point is that if JESUS is the One God of the OT then he said this about WOMEN.
