Q&A: 36

Mahalo (Thank you in Hawaiian) for asking this question. This was and is a matter of human perspective. God is always the same, period. (Malachi 3:6, Psalms 90:2, James 1:17). The different perspectives also come from the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. One God, three personalities. In the Old Testament, God the Father was dominant, and in the New Testament, God the Son was dominant. God the Holy Spirit introduced God the Father as the only true creator God, who needs to be feared (reverenced).  God the Holy Spirit introduced God the Son as the only one who can save them from their sins and reconcile them to the one creator God.

The Old Testament, besides recording history, tells us what the Spiritual realm would look like if it were in human physical form. The right to choose the One Creator God or not. The pros and cons of each choice are very clear. The New Testament, besides recording history, tells us how we can change our minds and hearts and make a better choice. 

Malachi 3:6, For I, the Lord, do not change; therefore, you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.

Psalms 90:2, Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

James 1:17, Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
