"Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last. Surely My hand founded the earth, And My right hand spread out the heavens; When I call to them, they stand together...... Come near to Me, listen to this: From the first I have not spoken in secret, From the time it took place, I was there. And now the Lord GOD has sent Me (the pre-incarnate Jesus), and His Spirit." (Isaiah 48:12-13 & 16)
"Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades." (Jesus speaking in Revelation 1:17-18
Therefore, is the God of the New Testament different or the same as the God of the Old Testament?
Edited by John 10:10, : No reason given.
Edited by John 10:10, : Rephrased the question

The evil one comes to steal, kill and destroy; but I Jesus have come that you might have eternal Life and have eternal Life more abundantly - John 10:10

Considering promotion
Hi John 10:10.
I'm new at this moderating gig so I will want the input of another admin before I promote this.
I think you want to defend the idea that Jesus IS clearly the same God as the Old Testament God, but the way you put this says the opposite:
Do you still doubt that the revealed God of the New Testament is different than the revealed God of the Old Testament?
Can you make this clearer?

Re: Considering promotion
I thought about this one last night and I was confused by the question also.
It isn't clear whether John 10:10 is saying that the God of the OT and the NT are the same or aren't the same.
I feel he needs more narrative to clarify his position and what he is asking.
Again, I concur with your evaluation. You're doing good Faith
Carry On
