what if the old God is dead ? The God of the old testament...what if He killed His old self on the cross...with and in Jesus...and rose again..washed of all his wrath and His memory of our sins ? What if he did this on purpose in order to be able to love us unconditionally and forever ? The scriptures say that " God was in Christ..reconciling the world to Himself.
totally dead to His old self and my old self ...in the Name....?

Wow, that's a thought.
I do know that God felt remorse for his actions in the flood, which is why he made the promise not to do such a thing again.
That was, sort of, admitting to a mistake.
I suppose your thought could be possible.
The God of the old testament and the God of the new testament do seem like two different beings.
I have always thought of him as an energy force that couldn't die. Perhaps, with your theory, he just "changed" or "evolved" into a "different" form of energy.

He forgot our sins looking forward to the cross.
Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Isaiah 43:18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Jesus Christ is the way!

That logic would be completely problematic to Christian trinitarian theology. I'm sorry. It just isn't in keeping with the biblical perspective on God, the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
The problematic phrase is "He killed His old self" in this case.
Please complete your question with exact references in your last sentence: "The scriptures say that 'God was in Christ...reconciling the world to Himself. [T]otally dead to His old self and my old self...in the Name...?"

Nope. Most of the old gods ARE dead. You don't hear much about Zeus, Odin, Ra, or Qetzelquatl these days. But if the Creator ever even stopped thinking about us, this entire universe would unmake itself.

Plausible. But more plausible to understand that God was and is Imaginary.
