Biblical Understanding based on the Record of Scripture
Who is the God of the Old Testament? Is it Christ or His Father? What do Jesus and the authors of the New Testament have to say? Who was the "I AM" that Moses encountered?
This sermon describes how Israel refused to honor God according to His word and was eventually sent off into captivity. Tragically, spiritual Israel in our time has done the same thing. Most of the churches of God have become corporations run by modern Pharisees teaching their own Talmud; they are teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.
The record and explicit warning of scripture is clear. We are not to add to, or take away from, what God has said. We are to point people to God, rather than to man. The most destructive teaching of the Church of God today is that Jesus Christ is the God of the Old Testament. It denies the active personal involvement of God the Father in His creation on the basis that He cannot be in the presence of sin. Replacing God the Father with His Servant is idolatry (Exodus 20:3) and is not something Jesus Christ ever taught or did.

Ephesians 2:1-3 NLT
Once you (we) were dead because of your (our) disobedience, and your (our) many sins.
You used to live in sin just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil-that commander of the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.
All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else.
