_____________________
a problem in historical "evolution" of concept of God
The Christian God is also Jewish.
We worship the God who revealed Himself to be YHWH
We also believe that we have a "fuller" understanding of God than the Jews.
(inherent comment: The term "fuller" automatically says that the God found in the OT is "defective" in the sense "incomplete.")
But,
When does the God of Christianity become so "full" that it obliterates the God found in the Old Testament?
or in other words,
If the God of Christianity is the same as the God of the Jews, there can be no such thing as a "fuller" understanding of God for the Christians than for the Jews because we worship the same God. To deny this would fall to neo-Marcionism, to accept this is to acknowledge that we are still left in the dark about the relationship in the OT presentation of God and the NT.
It's all or nothing, either/or.
or no?
