Is the God of Love in the New Testement the same as the God of Wrath in the Old?

This is a question / problem that many people talk about.

If you read / study the Bible, it seems that God in the Old Testement is

always telling the Israelites to wipe out City after City

and to Kill Everyone, even children.

The God in the New Testement (in the form of Jesus) is

Always preaching Love, Tolerance, Forgiveness.

These 2 Gods seem to be the opposite of Each Other.

I did alot of reading and discussion on this topic,

thanks to a follower who raised up the thought / question.

***

The God of the Old Testement IS the Same as the God of the New.

But the World was VERY VERY Different.

When you think of Evil, you can't imagine a city where EVERYONE is Evil

We just do not see that these days

(Thank Goodness!)

Imagine a City where EVERYONE is fighting and killing and drinking.

 these Cities were not big as they are now

They were tribes / forts with a few thousand people at best

(like a small country town)

Where it is common to sacrifice people to "the gods".

Especially Newborns.

They would actually roll babies through the fire and let them burn to death.

That was fun and games

God abhors such Evil above all else and this Evil Could not be tolerated

Nor could he risk his people (The Israelites) being exposed to or adopting these sins

(Ever hear the Expression:  When in Rome do as the Romans do?)

There is also many examples in the Old Testament of God's Love and Patience

 But this is my Favorite:

From Exodus 34:6-7

The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. (Ex 34:6-7)
