Did God change between Testaments?

Isn't it true that the God of the New Testament said
Do not hate your brother in your heart.
and
love your neighbor as yourself


But isn't it also true that the God of the Old Testament said
if anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers, such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
and
that servant which knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows.


So, did the unchangeable change?
 
Solution
Buncha biblical lightweights you guys are, the first two quotes are Leviticus, followed by John and Luke.

Because nobody picked up on that, I will have to answer my own question with this final quotation:

But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’
Old Testament was mostly about a wandering tribe that kept fucking up and worshiping foreign deities that many times accepted human sacrifices. Leviticus mostly is a book about a lot of civil and moral codes from when Moses was getting pissed at Jews for fucking up to when Persia started scattering Jews to the wind.
You can argue if Moses was real or not, I don't care and it's not really important for me to argue that. Leviticus is a really long book written over a very long time by leaders who got tired of belly aching.

Read Psalms and Sirrach and compare those with the NT. The Old Testament differs because the Jews at that time were facing possible annhilation and genocide, the New Testament deals with the Roman Empire which wanted Jews to submit to their authority and pay taxes. Arguably the Romans were worse because taxes and all that, but Jews didn't have to worry about getting killed because a foreign king wanted to expand his territory so that his sons wouldn't cause a bloody civil war after he died.
Exodus didn't happen.
 
6 million, 6 thousand it was a lot of Jews. It happened.
>Egyptian History makes no mention of Hebrew Slaves
>One of their last pharaohs exiled all the money changers
>Series of "plagues" follow including the mass slaughter of children, naturally in retaliation for the totally real command to do the same to them first
>Why does this sound so similar
>Why am I getting sleepy

Wait, I thought the whole point was that there was one God?
This is your brain on monotheism

Egyptians also practiced trying to erase people from records. Some Pharaohs were almost entirely erased if not for a burial chamber, they could likely omit entire people if they wanted to.
Also they did 'conscript citizens' for public work projects. It totally wasn't slavery, bro. Honest, it was just a government job program. They totally didn't get certain citizens to die working on a glorified tomb, obelisk, or palace.

Stop the revisionism. It happened.
 
Okay, so, do Christians believe in multiple gods? Not counting Jesus and the Holy spirit
who cares

Sure thing, rabbi
 
No, they didn't "change", God doesn't change. The differences are because the OT and NT reference two different beings. The existence of two separate divine beings with conflicting and contradictory natures is even strongly implied in several places in the OT.

The Demiurge is not God, Jesus is not the son of the Demiurge He is the Son of God.
I surely hope you aren’t actually gnostic.

Gnostics do. Christians believe in the father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as one single god. Gnostics believe in that and something called the demiurge. I don’t wanna get into a bunch of cult shit like Gnosticism though.
