Of course,God created man in his image ,with his attributes why wouldn't he feel pain,anger,and frustration ?
Why wouldn't he punish after he warned he would ?
Does not law and his words carry more meaning ?
Just look at the bible and it is clearly seen.
God in the Bible is clearly bipolar reflecting the maturity of the people at the time it was written
Old Testimate God was a god to be feared. People had simple motivations back then and needed to be told "Do as we say or an angry God will destroy you" Hell was a simplistic motivator. If you are bad...you will be punished
Christians needed a more complex god in order to draw more sophisticated followers. The Christian God was a god that if you loved him....he would love you in return. Christians relied more on a do good towards others and good will be returned to you.
Wrong, God has never changed. God just made atonement for all so he didn't have continue wiping out sinful communities. So in a word becuse of the righteous the unrighteous benefit.
So by your account...God did change
Old God killed everyone on earth who could not fit on an ark. Old God killed innocent children.
New God doesn't do that any more
God didn't change...the people writing the Bible changed. They had a new audience that wasn't buying all the wrath of God crap, they needed a kinder and gentler God
