The Old Testament:
"I shall smite thee! Cut off thy hands! Kill all their children! Drown everyone into oblivion! Strike you down with all my anger! Send all plagues into thy city!!!! Muahahahaha!!
and the New Testament:
"Oh, love each other, turn the other cheek, cast the first stone if you're pure, God is all love, Christ will die for you, don't worry; nail me-it is written;

Jesus Christ split history in two, and that's why the New Testament is just that - a new testament - a new way to live. God sent Christ to give us new values and aims...and that is exactly why - after centuries of making mistakes (many Christians have been swayed by evil - such as during the Inquisition) we have the United Nations - human rights etc., even if we're far from perfect, humanity has come a long way from 'an eye for an eye' and Christianity has had the greatest positive impact on the world.

No, it isn"t. There is a big difference between the Old and the New Testament. In the old testament God hadn"t revealed himself as the Holy Trinity, he was just Yahweh, a just and jealous God. Mankind wasn"t still prepared to receive a message of love (besides that the Jews were the only ones who had access to God)
When Christ came into the world he perfected the Jewish law and gave us a new commandment : LOVE ONE ANOTHER, DO NOT HATE YOUR ENEMY>If you want more information, read the Sermon of the Mountain, there you find the explanation to this question

Someday every person will bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord but what sadness to make this confession only when we have finally recognized the inescable fact that Jesus really is Lord- and we have never accepted him as such.God gives us the freedom to choose what we want to do, but what are the consequences of choosing sin?the greatest consequence of sin is eternal separation from God.....You will aiways reap what you sow.

Wow! Sounds like you are troubled with this issue. Don't get me wrong. It is a good question.
I suggest you get into a good bible based church and seek out other your own age and listen and learn. It's free and will change your life forever.
May God bless and guide you!

Well its like a lot of people who have misconceptions of the word of God, they don't have a clue as to what is in it, like yourself you are a contradiction of terms until one gets to know you.The Bible is the same way many see it as having a lot of contradictions until one gets to know it. Read it before you make such pathetic claims of what you obviously do not know.

You are mocking God. The Bible says in the latter days the mockers will come.

I would suggest that you actually read the Bible before you take bits and pieces to use for your own entertainment. You have it way out of context. You can read can't you?

Only if you think a book as thick as a small tree is a pamphlet.
If you had a point the way your question is worded negates it....try again.
