“God” is not in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament); it is a deliberate translation choice to obscure the Elohim. There are many Elohim (Ps 82)

O foolish Galatians! Who hath bewitched you that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth, crucified among you? (Apostolicon, cf. Gal 3:1) Return to the pure Gospel of Christ crucified—let no one bewitch you away from the grace that saves.

YHWH’s fickle incompetence vs. the unchanging love of the true Father. YHWH anoints Saul king—then regrets it, saying, “I regret that I have made Saul king” (1 Sam 15:11). Grants Solomon wisdom—then rejects him for foreign wives. Threatens to destroy Nineveh—then relents when they repent (Jonah 3:10). Regrets creating mankind before the flood (Gen 6:6–7) and repeatedly grows angry with those He chose and blessed (Solomon, Israel over and over). Capricious, regretful, shortsighted. Christ’s Father never wavers, never regrets, never changes His mind.

Jesus wept. (Evangelion, cf. John 11:35) In the shortest verse, behold the deepest love: the Saviour weeping for His own.

YHWH tempted Abraham to sacrifice his son (Gen 22:1), hardened Pharaoh’s heart to bring about the slaughter of Egypt’s firstborn (Ex 10:27), incited David to sin so 70,000 Israelites would die for it (2 Sam 24:1), and sent a lying spirit to deceive prophets (1 Kgs 22:22). He gave laws impossible to keep perfectly, then punished the inevitable failure. Far from the benevolent Father revealed by Christ, the Old Testament deity rigs the game and damns the players.

I was thinking the other day: if a modern Happy Days were made today, it would be set around 2005–2015. It would feature flip phones, MySpace and Facebook exploding, the iPhone just arriving, Wii parties, early YouTube, the George W. Bush and early Obama years, pre-smartphone malls, etc.

YHWH’s stingy, legalistic power vs. the Father’s instant, universal grace. YHWH’s prophet Elisha heals one foreigner—Naaman—after 7 ritual dips in Jordan (2 Kings 5). Christ heals ten lepers (Jews & Samaritan) with one word, no water, no ritual (Luke 17:12–14).

Remember that time when Jesus said he was YHWH in the flesh and that he was actually three separate entities (i.e., the Trinity)? Yeah, me neither—'cause that didn't happen.

And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.  (Luke 18:19) Jesus’ question isn’t humility — it’s theology; - Denies Jesus = YHWH (Yahweh) - Affirms only the Father is good Points to the unknown, merciful Father. The known God [Elohim] was evil. I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create evil; I am YHWH, who does all these things.  (Isaiah 45:7) YHWH (Yahweh) and the Father are distinct beings… Jesus revealed the gracious Father. YHWH (Yahweh) = not good—Jesus never affirms the YHWH (Yahweh)’s goodness. Jesus = Son of the good God/Father.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. (Apostolicon, cf. 2 Cor 5:17) Leave the old life behind and walk in the newness that Christ alone gives.

YHWH’s theft vs. the Father’s trust. YHWH arms Israel to plunder Egypt: “Grab gold, silver, clothes—loins girded, staffs ready!” (Exod 12:34–36). Christ sends disciples empty-handed: “No shoes, no staff, no bag, no second shirt, no coins” (Luke 9:1–3).

YHWH’s king David gets blasted for loving his enemies—Joab snarls he “loves those who hate you” (2 Sam 19:5-6). Christ commands: “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you” (Luke 6:27-28). YHWH’s warrior code vs. the Father’s radical mercy.

I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. (Evangelion, cf. John 15:5) Remain in the Vine (Christ alone)—and let His life flow through you to bear lasting fruit.

YHWH demands endless sacrifices, nitpicks cups & plates, drowns men in rules—then whines, “Who asked for this?” (Isa 1:11-12). He rejects blood & burnt offerings (Ps 50:13), claims no hunger (Isa 40:28)—yet sniffs Noah’s BBQ with delight & favours Abel’s offering of guts (Gen 4:4; 8:20-21). Jesus ends the charade: true worship is in spirit & truth, not smoke & stench. YHWH’s hypocritical rituals vs. the Father’s pure mercy.

All who came before me are thieves and robbers... I [Jesus] am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. (Evangelion, cf. Jn 10:8–10) Enter through the true Door—Christ alone—and receive the abundant life no thief can steal.

The Elohim of Genesis 1 created a good world and blessed every animal (Gen 1:1–2:3). YHWH, the Elohim of the second creation (Gen 2:4b onward), hates his own creatures and bans them from the table (Lev 11 & Deut 14). Jesus, emissary of the unknown Father above the Elohim, restores the original blessing of Genesis 1, overturns YHWH’s hateful legislation, and feeds the multitudes with the “abominable” creatures YHWH cursed—proving he is not the son of the schizophrenic lawgiver, but the liberator sent to rescue creation from the YHWH's tyranny (Luke 9:12–17, Mark 7:19, 8:6–8). The documentary rupture and legal contradiction are irreconcilable.

YHWH the vengeful vs. the Father of mercy in Jesus; YHWH’s Law: “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth” (Deut 19:21), garment for garment, love friends, hate enemies. Christ’s Gospel: Turn the cheek, give your tunic too, love your enemies (Luke 6:29). Same god? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

YHWH (Yahweh) sics bears on kids for mocking Elisha (2 Kings 2:23-25)—what savage "justice"! But Christ welcomes children: "Let them come to me" (Luke 18:16), "Be like them to be great" (Luke 9:46-48). THIS is the loving Father!

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. (Apostolicon, cf. 2 Corinthians 3:17–18) May the Spirit of the Lord grant us true freedom and transform us into the likeness of Christ.

YHWH (Yahweh)'s "justice" is cruelty: drowning the world in flood & fire (Gen 6, 18), then hardening Pharaoh's heart only to plague Egypt tenfold (Exod 10:1). This tyrant god is NOT the Father of Jesus (Iēsous)!
