The god of the new testement is descriped as being slow to anger, yet the god of the old testement is anything but. In fact its a wonder any of the Israelites got to the promised land considering how fond their god was of killing them off!
Please provide me with some proof of this slowness of anger or some reason for this contradiction?
Here is why: The New Testament God is not Almighty God as is the Old Testament God. It is nothing more than a metaphor that Jesus came up with to help the peasants do their own thinking despite the Establishment. Jesus was, in fact, slow to anger--and would tolerate anything except deliberate oppression of others.
Jehovah, or the Old Testament God, is in fact a Tyrant. He insists on always having his way, no matter who He hurts in the process. He has a temper tantrum every time anyone does anything except what He tells them to. He has shown intolerance of mankind ruling himself, numerous times. First, He didn't give Satan a proper chance to let mankind rule himself without force-based laws that have nothing to do with protection. He has also prevented Nimrod from establishing a government that would have solved our problems. He prevented Socrates from setting us free; maneuvering things to favor Plato and to vilify Socrates and Aristotle (both of whom were against Jehovah's tyrannical way of ruling). He had Jesus killed and then twisted his sayings to prevent them from being used to solve problems. He ruined this country, putting Lincoln in to start the damage and then Wilson, Roosevelt (FDR), Johnson, Carter, Clinton, and now Osama Obama to prevent freedom. He has corrupted the presidents that would have gotten things done--or had them killed: Eisenhower, JFK, Ford, Reagan, and both Bushes were prevented from fully bringing us into prosperity by Jehovah. Ross Perot and Ron Paul both lost candidacies because Jehovah didn't want them solving our problems. And the story goes on.
Jehovah wants us oppressed, so He can falsely promise to deliver us (if we obey His tyrannical rules). Jesus and Satan both tried to set us free: Satan was debased, and Jesus died trying.
Quick or slow to anger:
You can find both types of reference in the OT. Imagine it more generally
among observers of the human condition. They could be long-suffering in waiting
for social wrongs to be righted, in seeing how few criminals are caught and
little justice is done for injustice. But when they're sure of a case and can
get action for it, they want justice immediately. The cases of it happening are
a drop in the bucket, so generally they're long-suffering. It's probably
basically something like that--which reference is used depends on which aspect
you're looking at.
One difference with the OT God idea is that He's given as dealing with people
who are given as having divine interventions, so it goes past a choice of faith
or not in a possible God but a choice of accordance or not to one whom they're
supposed to have known was there, which would make the standard of expectations
go up. Yet many didn't comply, the Canaanite belief in gods persisted through
to the days of Isaiah, etc. When dealing directly with the ultimate life giver
and taker, it's not given as the recommended MO.
