Due to coming thru fallen men, the Bible God is not the real God. And I do get angry at times because God is depicted in the Bible as not how God is, or was.

It's all a matter of the now, today, God ... not a God from long long ago, from the days when everyone believed they were living on a flat earth ; the Bible comes from the flat earth age, if you will. Can we really expect a accurate depiction of God to come from that age?

Maybe it's just me, but the God I know these days would never flood everyone ; men, women, children, and fetuses, plus all the critters. That depicts God, in the least, as a failing God ; a God that failed in his creation.

If God is God that can't be true. It's a made up legend, influenced by the Epic of Gilgamesh, written 1300 years before Geneses, with its flood story.

So to answer you question, I don't reprimand God, as much as I'm angry at false depictions of God. Which means if it looks like I'm reprimanding God, don't get confused, I'm actually reprimanding a God that's not any more real than Zeus.

So you separate the God depicted in the OT, from the Christ we see in the NT, since you believe the OT to not be divinely inspired - is that accurate?
