A lot of translations and different approaches go into both. The God in the Old Testament was more violent than the God in the new one. However, I don't know if it is a good idea to just cast away the old when it explains the origin of the universe and man, and how sin entered the world (Genesis). These are powerful and valuable teachings that should not be disregarded.
