That's the old testament god. I believe in Supply-Side Jesus.
Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a foreigner (Greek: xenos) and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. - Matthew 25:34-36
etc
Supply Side Jesus doesn't know his own book, to the surprise of absolutely no-one
