Addressing the OP,
One poster got it right, it's the same God. and one thing to understand, it is how he, the LORD JESUS, dealt with HARD HEAD, STIFF NECKED Israel, (And NOW US his church), because Job was not of the nation of Israel, and Job was keeping the feast day, (JOB 1:2 & 3), before Israel was even a nation. or HOW God's, the Lord Jesus, Love toward Ruth who was ENGRAFTED, (AS WE GENTILES), into the promise Nation/Land. THIS SHOWS US GOD IS FOR ALL OF HIS CREATIONS. or Tamar likewise, . so the LORD JESUS is no different or .... no respect of person.... only obedience is better than sacrifice. and that same attitude is today, God, the Lord Jesus still hate sin.
so if one read the OT and the NT just measure or Judge for yourself. the reason why I believe many have this view, is in the NT we have more detail information that we did in the OT. we didn't have to many one on one's conversation recorded as we have in the NT. in the OT, where it was more of a "corporate", as a whole, in decisions, and actions taken vs individual actions, that seldom taken.
but as said, God showed mercy after mercy on Israel, even after that had Sin, and repented, but went back to the same old ways. so when you look at God's mercy toward obedience, and many time God let many, make their own choice, God stilled "SAVE". as today, nothing new under the sun, as we still act a Jack with nine tails, God mercy stills endures. his Love never changes.
again, why many still see a difference, God is a Holy God, and we're not. God is light years ahead of us, but has taken his time in helping us, yes from the OT to today. Just on that we need to count our blessing. as the Apostle said, Romans 9:22 "What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:" BINGO.
his desire is for all men to be saved.
and instead of Judging/looking at God, why don't we look at ourselves. ask yourself, do I really deserve his mercy, and his Grace? have you really been that "GOOD?"........ before we make a judgment on God if he's the same, or different, why not let us judge ourselves first before we Judge God.
he has allowed us the eat drink, and sleep, and he has even let us squeeze the charmin. see why don't we look at the little thing God has done for us. Matthew 5:45 "That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."
see, it's "his" sun, "his" air we breathes, "his" water.... when was the last time you paid God a water bill? thank you.... see, if we just righteously check the books we all come up short......... I mean real short.
so before we go and want to RUSH to balance God on the righteous scales of Justice to see if he's different or not in the OT and the NT, I suggest you refraim from that ridiculous idea.
if anything, I highly suggest that we thank him, and praise him in Spirit and in TRUTH.
