While the God referred to in the Old and New Testements are the same God, He is misunderstood and appears different.
The reason why God was angrgy and what people think of as "cruel" was because He offered a covenant with the Children of Israel, yet they kept breaking His rules. If they hadn't broken His rules, He wouldn't have been so angry. As for the Ark, God declared it as Holy which ment it was to be treated with respect and by the rules God set up. The people kept breaking even those rules and so God would kill them.
Now as for the Koran, that is a book of scriptures for a different god. That book is not from the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. And neither was Mohammud. Sure he was a prophet, but for some other god named Allah.
Why? Look at just a basic situation. The God of Israel blesses and protects His choosen people. Now why would He go out and find another group of people to kill and convert the Jews to a different holy book and different religion? It makes no sense.
Its like a father who has a child, then goes out and adopts a new child and gives instructions to convert the first child to a different way of life. And if the child doesn't convert, it is to be killed.
This is the difference between Torah and Koran - they are not from the same source, thus doesn't make sense.

Ok , the sins he is talking about is when Adam and eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, when God cast them out sin entered the world and God left it unpunished, But because he is a righteous God he must Judge sin, but because he loves his children, us, he came as a man Jesus Christ and took the punishment left unpunished since the Garden, and redeemed us, for all who believes will RECEIVE HIS HOLY SPIRIT! Now that the New Covenant when Jesus came and it is by grace, by faith in his redemptive work on the cross. The old testament for sees this and prophecies of the coming Savior, Isaiah 53. So the old testament is the rules or the law he gave before the Savior came and now we enter by grace. So The Koran and the old testament are rules and regs, The new testament and Jesus message is that there is a NEW COVENANT WITH BETTER PROMISES, That in the NAME OF JESUS all who call his name will be saved!So even Allah if he is the same God as Adams God, which they say he is, then he wants them and everybody else to see what he did for them on the cross! Eternal life.

there is 1 God
and all this confusion is due to the old and new testaments
the original scripture was sent down by Jesus
unfortunatly u believe that God is capable od reprouding and having a son- i dont know how many gods u believe in, but i obviously cant convince u of something that u've known ur whole life to b tru
just consider this:
is jesus god or the son of god
how is it possible that god had a child
the new testament was written because people were confused and made up their own theories
i am not going to try and prove anything to u
but the thing is the Quran was never changed
it is Gods original words
the Bible was changed
the Quran is the most recent of Gods words to man
The Quran says that Jesus never died and that a man that looked very similar was actually killed on the cross
Jesus IS in heaven
but we do not bleieve that everyone that dies goes to heaven
is it possible for a man who kills for a living, does drugs, unmarital sex, fornication, rape, theft, robbery, first degree murder and causes everyone around him pain while another does good and is kind to the poor and elderly , who has never harmed or bothered a living soul; is it possible for them to both go to heaven? of course not
there are many debates over religion but if u wish to seek the truth, read the Quran, ask of the teachings of Prophet Muhammed , peace and blessings on him, learn the respect muslims have for one another
seek guidance and refuge from God, for he is the All- Forgiving, All-Merciful, All- Knowing in Islam, Christianity, and Judism

The bible, Old and New Testament, is a collection of books. The God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament is the same God. The only God there is.
The god of Islam is not the God of the bible. The god of Islam has no son. Islam claims Jesus did not die on a cross. Islam does not point to Jesus Christ as savior. Therefore, since the God of the bible does have a son, Jesus, who died on a cross, rose again, and is the only way to salvation, Allah and the God of the bible are not one and the same.

the old testament and koran are the same.
only difference is after that Jesus Son of God came to earth.
muslims say He is a prophet.
We believe and KNOW, He is the Son of God.

god behind a god?!! lolzz. dude no such thing as that. how can someone be a god if there is another god behind him. this theory really makes no sense. there is Only One Ultimate GOD, The Soverign Power of All.
All i can say is ALLAH (GOD) in The Quran, is the Same GOD of Prophet Jesus, Prophet Moses & Prophet Mohammad (Peace Upon Them All), as HE is The GOD of All.

No one knows, and you certainly will not get an answer that explains 100% truth. So put your faith in logic, rationallity, and reason. Don't put your faith in delusion. It's a waste of a good life.
Instead of preparing ourselves for an afterlife, we can begin to prepare our future generations of human species for their lives.
thanks for asking
