I the old testament god and the new testament god the same god?

Answer 1

Absolutely

Answer 2

Yes they are the same God.

But there is a difference in the relationship between Himself and man that is reflected in the Testaments.

in the Old Testament, God was on the "outside". Because of the sin nature within men, he was unable to dwell within their hearts. So he had to work from the outside. These meant having to use strict laws, sometimes having to use circumstances like disasters or wars to accomplish things, and being limited in how much of himself he could reveal.

Through Jesus, God is able to cause the human nature to be reborn. Then God can indwell a person heart. Once that happens, he is able to move his guidance from strict laws written on tablets of stone to the tender leading of the conscience and the spirit. He can speak directly to the heart of a person rather then having to work through circumstances, and can fully reveal himself to each individual.

The results is that he can work with us now in a personal and loving way that he could not do before the coming of Jesus. That allows the loving and caring side of his personality to be more evident in the New Testament then the Old.

Answer 3

Same. The circumstances are different, however. In the Old Testament, the chosen people constantly reject the G-d who delivered them to the Promised Land, and therefore G-d is angry much of the time. The understanding of G-d changed with the fulfillment of His promise to send his Son as a perfect sacrifice to redeem our sins and reconcile us with the loving G-d of Creation. The New Testament shows G-d and man rejoined, and Jesus' issues an emancipation from the 400 laws by saying He came to bring a new law: Love G-d and love your neighbor as yourself.

Answer 4

There is only One God who created Heavens and earth. You might think about multiple gods if you were raised in India. If you are American I wonder how can you think of different gods.

Answer 5

While the New Testament is added to an adaptation of the Hebrew Bible that Christianity calls the " Old Testament" and refers to God from within it, the concept of the nature of God within the Hebrew Bible ( Tanakh ) and the Christian Bible ( Old and New Testament) are completely incompatible.

This is THE major difference in Judaism and Christianity. The most irreconcilable difference.

Christians claim that it is over the identity of the messiah. Well, technically that is only true if you're identifying the prophecy of an annointed king of Israel who ushers in an age of peace and universal knowledge and worship of God AS a god.

The Hebrew Bible and Judaism are unique and were revolutionary because unlike the surrounding peoples who had physical images to worship, Torah teaches of the nature of God that God is an incorporeal deity whose presence is everywhere. God can be known intimately and directly by every human, Jew and Gentile as evidenced by so many stories in the text of Torah and throughout Tanakh. The surrounding beliefs ( and Christianity ) have the role of God as something exclusive for it's own adherents or had multiple manifestations of many different deities. Humans becoming deities or living as representatives of a deity on earth is a belief that is eschewed by the Hebrews and incompatible with the faith of Israel. Those beliefs are continually condemned in Torah any time those beliefs were attempted to be imposed on or adopted by Israel. The New Testament replacement theology reverts back to these pagan beliefs and incorporates the elements of Tammuz and Mithras ( in particular, the Romanized version of the Zoroastrian savior deity) worship into the God concept of Torah in violation of it's precepts. This is why Judaism and Christianity are incompatible. Judaism rejects replacing the very concept of the nature of God and rejects placing an intermediary ( Jesus ) between God and man. ( for those who claim Jesus is an aspect of divinity himself or that one must pray to or through him to reach God )

Tammuz was a deity condemned in Tanakh but who unfortunately had gained a sizable following among Jews, in the northern kingdom especially. A remnant of this connection is not only found in the New Testament ( among whose apostates Paul found willing converts to his discipleship since he presented a concept of the Hebrew God fitting what they believed already), but in the very name of the Hebrew month, Tammuz. As in our secular calendar..vestiges of idolatrous worship that have been abandoned remain.

Mithras has often closely been associated with the concept of deity in the New Testament as it so closely parallels the description of the Christian concept of "messiah"..and because the Christian concept of messiah bears so little resemblance to the Jewish prophetic concept.

The central unifying creed of the faith to God of the covenant of Israel is the "Shema", found in Torah, it is an affirmation and declaration of faith in this singular incorporeal Creator.

Hear O' Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.

EDIT: While I was typing my answer, apparently one who has not read their "Old Testament" came up with something that is contradictory to the texts within it and contradictory to the faith of Israel in ancient days as
"in the Old Testament, God was on the "outside". Because of the sin nature within men, he was unable to dwell within their hearts. So he had to work from the outside. "

I respectfully suggest that you read the text so that you do not have this completely topsy turvy view of it.
The link below will also help you overcome your misconception.

The covenant of Israel is entirely about a personal and collective direct relationship with the Divine. We live what we believe and hold dear to our hearts. By living as a light unto the nations, the Divine within us is easier manifest in the world around us in how we connect to both our fellow humans and all life and the planet itself. Tikkun Olam is a concept central to Torah...working with God to repair and restore the world to righteousness, justice and mercy.

Answer 6

They are the same God. The difference is relation. After the NT, God can relate to us because He's been a human, before, He used prophets and miracles to relate.

Answer 7

The same

Answer 8

Not exactly. Christians believe that G-d takes on human form in the shape of Jesus.

Jews do not believe this; our G-d does not take human form.

EDIT GOETHE - you are misrepresenting the facts.

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

Yes they are.

The only thing that changed is the death of Jesus Christ which began the grace administration.
