Does anyone think the OT(bible/tenakh) God is evil....?

Question

He is known for His wrath and fury, then for his mercy.
He wants blood sacrifice to be happy, that's why jews have blood libel at passover every year - putting xtian childrens blood in their mitzah(flat bread).
Then came Jesus, He was the last blood sacrifice, and with it Jesus taught cannibalism, eating my flesh(bread), and drink my blood(red wine) - this is symbolism of cannibolism that christians don't even know they are doing.

BLOOD LIBEL AGAINST THE JEWS:

Jews killed Jesus, and the rabbi's thought the only way to be forgiven, is to drink Christs blood and eat his flesh, like he was teaching.
So after Chists death, the jews kill xtian kids to do ritualistic sacrifices on them, using them in Jesus's place, then they drink the blood and eat them.

Answer 1

No, I don't think that YHWH, the God of the Old Testament, The Tanakh, the Torah, etc., the God of Christians and Jews is evil or bloodthirsty. You do misunderstand the point of it, and it's very late at night or else I would write more. But the basic answer is this: Adam and Eve according to the OT (Tanakh), etc had the very presence of God Himself in Eden with them. He literally talked with them and warned them that they shouldn't walk away from Him. But not because He was wrathful. Because His fallen angels had become wrathful. And as soon as Adam and Eve were ready to sin, the serpent was there to try and permanently taken them away from God who is good and loving and benevolent. The sense that God was appeased by the blood itself isn't right. And surely you are misunderstanding that God wasn't teaching cannibalism. The death of the animal was God showing that sins will eventually result in death. The reason for partaking of the blood and bread sacrifice to symbolize Christ's body wasn't literally to eat Him. What God meant was take this into your system, into your heart. Let the knowledge of it sustain you: That my one son who has lived his life without sin (which is better called "destructive behavior) - this son, who never harmed another person or another creature of humiliated or violated anyone in any way, this son who has behaved the way you all should've behaved is willing to pay the price for all that you've done wrong! It's not the small things Jesus was paying for it was ALL things: like murder! Adultery (which just screws up the heads of the children involved), divorce (again, it screws people up), the destroying of someone's reputation and/or livelihood which can bring a man or woman to emotional ruin - these BASE and AMORAL things are the reason why God set these very visceral examples. He was saying, "Yes, I love you, but I AM VERY SERIOUS. If you walk away from goodness, and doing what's right, it's going to lead you on a path down to the destruction of your life, and eventually to death. But I love you, and I've provided an escape through my one righteous son, who Isaiah says made His SOUL an offering for our sins, so that no other person or animal had to be lost. By the way, there is a verse in the bible that says that God IS NOT satisfied with the flesh of bulls and goats. He just did as a way to teach us the consequences of our severe behavior would be SEVERE on us. Like I said, most of our consequences happen as a result of our behavior: If I murder someone, I go to prison. Maybe I get life, or I get the chair, or I get lethal injection or hanging. These are HORRIBLE consequences. But they are self inflicted. So God is saying, look, some of these things you can choose in life can kill you. It's like if your kid ran out in the street and nearly got hit by a car. Wouldn't you probably spank, or discipline the child, and at least yell at them for their great foolishness that nearly killed them? Why do you think God's being severe in the setting down of the laws? And why are they bloody? It's because mankind had already become bloody as soon as Cain killed his own brother Abel. So God's saying, "Don't you get it? It's an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth SO THAT YOU MAY LEARN WHY NEVER, EVER TO DO THESE THINGS!!! It not about a God who was wrathful or vengeful first. But if someone attacked you or your family, you would intervene. Why is it so hard to conceive God would react differently than any man? Don't you hate evil? Then why shouldn't God?

Answer 2

The world is not the way that God created it and because of that, all are vulnerable to the affects of sin in the world. Why does one person suffer and another does not? Why do catastrophes happen to some and no others? It is because sin is in the world. But there will come a day when the Lord will return and cleanse this world of all sin and all suffering. as for Isaiah 45:7 ? In the Old English Tounge of 1611, The Old English used to word Evil in their King James Translation as a way of descibing Calamaity, such as disease, Tornadoes, Storms, Earthquakes,, Old English people used the word evil to describe natural disasters

Answer 3

Just not true.
Jehovah God in the O.T. was like a loving Father who wanted the best for his people.
He gave them the promised land but he also punished them when they did wrong, like worship other gods.
Any father that fails to discipline his children does not love them.
He rescued his people from Pharoah in Egypt.
But He also sent them off into 70 years of exile as slaves to Babylon because they were worship[ping other gods.
Then after the perpetrators had died off, had the remainder freed by Cyrus so they could return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple.
Love and discipline.

Answer 4

Those services was NOT to keep God happy, in fact it was to keep US happy who lived back then and now, those services was to point to The Lamb of God that took away your and my sins, that is why when Jesus died that temple veil was torn [see Matt.27:51] from top to bottom, when that veil was torn that ended the services in the temple and the ordnance's that spelled out which type of lamb, or dove was to be brought was contained in a Book of The Law [Deut.31:26] which was the ordnance's nailed to the Cross in Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

Answer 5

The god of the OT is arguably the most bloodthirsty of them all. He is not just evil he is criminally insane. Genocides, plagues, floods, fire and brimstone, infanticides, fillicides, the list is endless.

Answer 6

If God were evil as you say, he wouldn't have let you say what you just said. On the contrary, he made you and he's giving you air to breath, water to drink, food to eat. Why are you so ungrateful and disrespectful of your creator and sustainer.

Answer 7

" All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work."

Answer 8

i don't believe in god. however i do think the concept
of the diety described in O.T. is immoral. this god is
concerned about such trivialities as whether or not
your head is covered and if you cut the corners of your
beard. but it's perfectly okay to beat your slave as long as
you don't kill him/her.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Jesus agrees with you.
