Is there a moral clash between the depiction of Yahweh and Jesus Christ? Recently on Twitter, I recounted an experience I had with Frank Turek when I was struggling to hold onto my faith:
"I remember asking Frank Turek in person during a Q&A how he reconciled the portrayals of God in the OT & NT, since it seemed like there was a personality change. He said, 'There wasn’t one. Next question.' Anyway, I deconverted a week later."
Joe Heschmeyer, writing for catholic.com, made a much more respectable and empathetic attempt to answer my question, which we’ll be taking a (critical) look at today.

For those who are curious, I asked Frank Turek the question in August 2014 in Manitou Springs, Colorado during a two-week apologetics camp called Summit.
