Yeah I’m pretty sure the Romans did it.

i think it was the Neo-Babylonians that destroyed it the first time

when they took over

then the Jews rebuilt it when they came back from exile

But yeah God is generally viewed as a violent warrior in the Old Testament.

Not entirely accurate though. But it’s understandable.

yeah, stuff just constantly happened that invoked divine anger

Yeah exactly.

but i think the difference in tone also reflects major differences in Christianity and Judaism

to me Judaism is kind of a bitter religion

it does celebrate life and stuff, but there's something bitter about it

God saving different people and sparing people is ignored to make the statement he was a violent douche.

but it might also be because of how they reject the Messiah despite making Himself known, because he didn't do exactly as they thought he would

All the violence you know happened in Exodus, Judges, Kings, and Joshua.

and Genesis

Yeah I knew I had left a couple out.

lol

lol 😂

But you’re talking like 10 books out of 30+ being violent. And even those books have lots of God filled love.

yes

i don't view him as some merciless deity that just acts out His anger, i am just pointing out the larger prevalence of God's anger in the Old Testament lol

because in the NT, it is seemingly reserved until the End Times, then everything comes down

it is cringy whenever i see atheists who are like xd xd haha God sounds like an asshole xd Satan is the real good guy

In my ethics calls the teacher mentioned how compared to Greek ethics where it revolved around the happiness individual and the Polus Hebrew ethics revolved around adhering to the covenant and eternal devotion to God for freeing them

yes

there is a major legalistic emphasis on the covenant and how jewish culture revolves around it

Remember that the NT is also a lot shorter chronologically

OT covers thousands of years. NT covers a few.

So I think God isn't less pissed off in the NT, or that he's always pissed off in the OT, just that if he only gets pissed off once a century on average, then statistically there may not be any case in the NT of God getting mad

yes, that is true

10 year challenge

more like 20 years
