Welcome listeners. Greetings in Jesus name. Today, we begin Talk 5 — Law vs Grace in the Old Testament (OT), looking in particular in the Law of Moses. Many have the idea that the OT is all doom and gloom, all Law and Judgment.  Some even have the idea that the God from the OT is different from the God from New Testament (NT), because the God of OT is blood thirsty and destructive, whereas the God of NT is full of grace and light. But this is — I must emphasize — a Bad Misunderstanding, a case of serious oversimplification, leading us into error and caricature. That is not good.
