Um, what makes you think he doesn't hate us in the new testament? He said in his bible, " I am God. I do not change."

Why would you say he hated us in the Old Testament? Read the verses below. I hope you are not making a rash judgment without really exploring the Bible.
"You give me your shield of victory,
and your right hand sustains me;
you stoop down to make me great". Psalm 18:35
"In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them
to your holy dwelling" Exodus 15:13
"He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young". Isaiah 40:11

Funny your pic is Mr.T, did you know hes a christian, pretty cool actualy.
God is the same yesterday today and forever. the Jews are Gods chosen people in the OT, but then God sent Jesus and now we are all Gods people if we chose to go back to him.
Gods not fighting you, he never was, more for you then anything else.

no no no...you have it ALL wrong. God has NEVER hated us...he has ALWAYS loved us otherwise he would have Wiped the ENTIRE human race out thousands of years ago. as to the religious war you are refering to...it is not HIS..it is OUR stupid war. it is the Humans that do all of this crap not him. God has given us free will. that means we make our own decisions about doing the right or wrong thing. it is up to US to make the right decision. God doesn't want a bunch of Robots that are told what to do. He wants us to love him because WE WANT to. not because we HAVE to. in the Old Testament, that was God punishing the people because they were running around like a bunch of crazy chickens with their heads cut off, and were just out of control, so God took the people who were righteous and kept them safe because they haven't done anything wrong. and God didn't WANT to do...he GAVE them a chance to save themselves, but they didn't take it..God only waits for so long. one thing I want you to understand is that God loves us ok? He sent Jesus to us because he wanted us to be with him more than anything, so he sacrificed his only son so that We might join him in Heaven. that is the MOST unselfish thing that anyone could do. God has kept me and my family fed when we didn't have any money coming in, and has kept a roof over our heads, and a warm bed to sleep in at night. and its not just me, he has done this for millions of people worldwide, and He has even done it for you, though you may not realize it. I'm sure something has come through for you when times were tough. God loves all of us so much more than we could know....even when he punishes us, he still gives us mercy. for example, when he cast Adam and Eve out, it changed a lot of things, but he still let us have the beauty of the world, when he could have stripped the land bare. and after the flood, he kept Noah and his family alive by telling him to build an ark, and had all those animals on it. and he could have just killed them all and he would have been done with us forever but he didn't did he? there are so many other examples of God's love and mercy. please read the bible and ask the Lord to reveal himself to you, and he will. He loves you dearly, and wants to come into your life. open your heart to him, and let him bless your life the way he has blessed so many others.

God never hated us, He hated the sin that we had brought into the world. He had to teach us a lesson, so that we would stop sinning, if He really hated us then why did He save Noah and allow him to reproduce, and yes He never changes He loved us then and always will

quick and to the point, God does no longer stress us to love him, we were to created to be loose wondering persons, to have a loving relationship with him, this all replaced even as, the regulation became damaged, and sin entered the international. God is sweet, staggering, he's compared to, nor does he imagine like a guy, He can't deny himself, (He can't be what he's not). So even as the regulation became damaged, there should be punishment, because he's in basic terms that is who he's, his nature, If it were no longer for the actual reality he's likewise merciful, it would want to have ended right there, and then. although yet another characteristic is the actual shown reality that He loves us, he's merciful, so he himself took our punishment, please understand, that act of affection is matchless, awesome, and beautifully fantastic, so ignored, How a lot does he Love you, adequate to be overwhelmed abused, and to take each lick you deserve, yet we ought to chosen to allow that to be so, by technique of allowing Jesus to face in our position. he's likewise Holy, he can't enable Sin into his kingdom, and a damaged regulation to bypass unpunished. So he did his section, he loved us adequate to grant a some time previous to him, so the alternative is ours, we come to a decision our eternity, in case you want to abide with God, and as a way to abide him, you chosen to settle for that which he calls for, you're not any further compelled, yet in case you choose no longer to.... you opt to be in an section were he's not. that is God that makes all issues good, except for him, and his goodness, his love, that is misery, and hell, because your sin continues to be yours.
