Jesus vs Jehovah
Tim Cooper
Many believers see the difference between the Old and New Testament simply as one blank page. This has created a confusing image of God. On one side, (Old Testament) we are told that God is killing, creating evil and even commanding small children to be destroyed. On the other side, (New Testament) we see Jesus bringing a message of life, love, grace and forgiveness. Jesus healed, set the captives free and always overcame evil with good. Jesus never hurt anyone and He never condoned violence of any kind.
