Is the God of the Old Testament different from the God of the New Testament?

Many people assume the Old Testament God is angry and harsh, while the New Testament God is loving and merciful. This episode slows down and asks a more basic question: Who does the Bible actually say God is—from beginning to end?

In Episode 2 of Fundamentals of Biblical Truth, we examine how God reveals Himself, the names He uses, and the consistent pattern of justice, mercy, patience, and love across Scripture. Rather than isolated verses or tradition, we follow the Bible’s storyline to see whether God changes—or whether our reading habits have fractured the picture.

Key topics in this episode:

• Why people are confused about God

• God as eternal Creator

• How God reveals Himself (not discovered, but revealed)

• The names of God and why they matter

• Justice, mercy, and love as one unified character

• The biblical pattern of warning, patience, and action

• Why understanding God must come before understanding Jesus

Suggested Bible passages to read and verify:

Genesis 1:1 • Psalm 90:2 • Exodus 3:14 • Exodus 34:6–7 • Deuteronomy 32:4 • Psalm 103:8 • Romans 2:4–6 • 2 Peter 3:9

This episode assumes the Bible is telling a coherent story—and then tests that assumption carefully.
