Was he wrong before? Did he realize he was being bad and mend his ways?

Every time I bring up some bad aspects of the OT (god's murders, drowing babies in the flood, condoning slavery, stoning adulterers, etc.) Christians come on to say that Jesus fulfilled the laws and so that stuff doesn't matter anymore.

Killing someone who does not deserve it is murder even if god does it. God is not above the law.

Hi Steve,
I know that it really doesn't matter how I answer this question as far as you are concerned (well maybe concerned is not the right word in your case as you have no rational thought, at least according to your own belief), but for the others here:
No where in the New Testament does it indicate God negated anything in the Old testament. True, Christ in fulfillment of Old Testament Prophecy came to earth and fulfilled the Law of Moses which was greatly symbolic and directed of God to honor and prepare the way of his coming, but it did not negate as Steve's chemical output suggests but rather enhanced and enlightened rational people of the day.
Please answerers, try to understand Steve, he has no control over what comes out of his brain. Understanding this may help you to at least enjoy some to the output that while not very well put together is quite humorous.
We love ya, Steve!
Follow up to Steve's additional meaningless output (details):
Obviously Steve's brain function is binding up again, I am not sure what combination of stimuli has now cause him to think that God is subject to the laws of Man but that is an especially humorous conclusion.

Try talking to some other people. The NT is consistent with the OT - it's just a fuller revelation of God (not a different one).
P.S. God can't be guilty of "murder", as murder is by definition the unlawful taking of life. Since God is the Creator of life, and ultimate maker of the laws of life, AND because He has more than enough reason to snuff out any of us, He can kill someone, but He can't be guilty of murder. As God is the giver and sustainer of all life, He is free to take it away at will - or do you imagine He somehow OWES you something??? Have you done anything in particular to deserve having life in the first place?

Jesus fulfilling the law, does not mean that it does not matter any more. If not obeying God's law did not matter, then His death on the Cross was for nothing. Because of our sin we die- because of His death and Resurrection we live a new live, here on earth and eternally with Christ. Because He has given us new life, we can chose to obey His percepts - before we had no way to do that. God mended His ways by sending His son to die for us? NO He loved us that much so that we can a personal relationship with Him

It is impossible for God to want us to stop, say, sacrificing. God would never change his mind, you want to know how I know........cause he said so:
Numbers 23:19
God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?
Look at this hard, "nor a son of man" how amny times has Jesus been called "son of man." Of course the most important part here is where it says he doesn't change his mind.
Simple enough?

Who says he did? God isn't in the NT. He subcontracted the NT to Jesus Christ.

Can you give an example?
I don't think what you are saying is true.
If God takes life, He is taking nothing that isn't already His. If He takes your next breath away, He is taking nothing that doesn't belong to Him.
If He calls you an arrogant rebel, you are an arrogant rebel.

God is never wrong and is not subject to our laws.
