Can someone clarify some things about the Bible for me? Why

>>2675800
Because God only looks after Christians, who are the true Israel and true God's chosen people. The OT is merely a metaphorical prefiguration through more or less legendary characters of the state of affairs that would be in effect with Christ and the church when the fullness of time were to pass.

The brutality of the OT is to give a taste of God's righteousness and zeal, and to inspire fear and therefore prudence and faith. It also allows for just war doctrine.

Because the other tribes were retards and didn't expect God's love and help.

>Why does God seemingly look out only after the direct descendants of Abraham and not the other people? Why are the Jews the chosen ones?

Because they are the authors and the intended audience. Yahweh is the "national god" of the Israelites. Other peoples had other gods.

If you're asking from the perspective of someone who thinks it's a true story, then I can't help you.

>people imagine god as white
>is in reality a jew
>crusades fought those who were the inteded audience of the bible

>Why is the Old Testament so brutal and badass?
It portrays the transition from tribal to national stage. War, tiranny and such.
