Unlike any of his time

It has just occurred to me how amazing Jesus really is. To me, and I know there’s plenty of people who disagree…that’s fine, you go do you.
But to me, the fact that Jesus taught of a God that was wholly unlike the Old Testament God of the law etc…and introduced something so deeply loving and compassionate, shows me that he was the real deal.
I know where he came from. How amazing is he? His love and his faith was so strong that he went willingly to the cross. He was truly illuminating

Jesus is the Old testament God.. They are One..

God is both just, not letting any sin be swept under the carpet AND He is a God of long suffering compassion and forgiveness also..

The LORD Jesus simply finished the descriptive revelation of God and His will to the world..

Jesus went to the Cross BECAUSE we break the LAW of the old testament.. Jesus did not remove the LAW, He made it possible for those condemned by the Law to be justly forgiven their transgressions..

@Adstar I mean it’s vastly more complicated than that. In terms of God there’s no past and present, in terms of Jesus, the man, there is. This created a cyclical event whereby sin was manifest and cleansed. Jesus held all of man’s sin. The fact that people do not understand that this was a spiritual experience and not a metaphorical one, is very strange to me.
So yes, Jesus is Yahweh the Old Testament god and the god of this earth. He is also one with the father (the divine). However the divine, is not Yahweh or jesus (at least in any way more than the divine is anyone).
This will either make sense to you or it won’t. I don’t mind if it doesn’t but I would ask that if it triggers you that you keep your feelings to yourself.
Thank you for reading though

@Vengabus Only Jesus is one with the Father and the Holy Spirit.. they are one.. The Son is the everlasting Father.. as revealed in Isaiah in the OT..

(Isaiah 9:6) "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

@Adstar yes and no, he is in the way we all are. The father is the divine source of all things. All things come from, and “are”the father. To access the highest level of consciousness it requires not that you see, but that you are seen by the divine.
