There is a very simple reason: people who read the OT don't understand it and see what they want to imagine.The God of the OT is the same as the God of the NT. In both He clearly shows Himself to be Holy, Just, and Loving.However, the Bible is dispensational - revealing the whole plan gradually over time. In the OT His qualities of Justice and Holiness were emphasized while His qualities of Love were still present. In the NT his qualities of Love are emphasized while His qualities of Holiness and Justice are still present.As an example, a God that could let dirty old men who rape children go unpunished would in no way be loving. Justice demands punishment and this is an aspect of love.When one understands all three qualities; holiness, love, and justice and how they work together perfectly then God is much less hard to understand.
