YHWH’s hatred and destruction vs. the Father’s boundless love. YHWH commands the Israelites to hate enemies and destroy them utterly (Deut 7:2; 23:3-6). In the Evangelion, Christ commands love for enemies: “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you” (Evangelion; cf. Luke 6:27-28).

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. (Apostolicon, cf. Gal 5:22–23) Let the fruit of the Spirit flourish in us, for these virtues stand above every Law.
YHWH demands sworn loyalty; the true Good Father demands simple truth. YHWH commands oaths in His name only: “You shall fear YHWH your God… and swear by His name” (Deut 6:13; 10:20). Christ forbids all oaths: “Do not swear at all—not by heaven, not by earth, not by Jerusalem… Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’” (Evangelion G; cf. via Matt 5:33–37 parallel).
Deut 32 describes distribution of nations & lands to gods by Elyon ("he who stands above" in Heb), assigning property & pops to subordinates. This is NOT original; synthesised from Sumerian "Enki and the World Order." There, Enki, head of Anunnaki (ancient Sumerian divinities), divides world power among lesser Anunna under him. These beings: Sumerians call anunnaki; Babylonians ilu; Egyptians neteru; Greeks theoi; Canaanites baal; Romans dii; Bible elohim. Every culture has its own name, but the same meaning.

@Cody Is there any chance in the future that the Nostr-Tray app could support allowing multiple (selective) accounts to write to it rather than just one?

YHWH’s fleshly bondage vs. the Father’s spiritual freedom. YHWH demands bloody circumcision—or be cut off forever (Gen 17:10–14). Jesus demands none; an uncircumcised centurion is saved by faith alone (Evangelion; cf. Luke 7:1–10).
Rejoice in the freedom Christ has won—dead to the Law of YHWH, alive to serve the good Father in the Spirit. But now you are released from the law, having died to that which held you bound, so that you serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code. (Apostolicon, cf. Rom 7:6)
