Well, that depends on what you mean by "equal worth". By monterary value, you couldn't be more wrong. Women are worth less than men according to the Bible (to God, that is). See Leviticus 27:1-7. From the New King James version:

Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: "When a man consecrates by a vow certain persons to the LORD, according to your valuation, if your valuation is of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. If it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels; and if from five years old up to twenty years old, then your valuation for a male shall be twenty shekels, and for a female ten shekels; and if from a month old up to five years old, then your valuation for a male shall be five shekels of silver, and for a female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver; and if from sixty years old and above, if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.

God was much more nasty in the old testament before Jesus came along and did the "be nice" bit.

The valuations of various consecrated persons has nothing to do with a person's worth to God.

These assessments of monetary worth were simply based on the amount of work the consecrated person could do, just as verses 16-18 specify that the monetary value of a consecrated piece of land was determined by the land's fertility and the years left until Jubilee.

It's obvious that in general, men can do more physical work than women, just as adults aged 20-60 can do more work than senior citizens, and teenagers can do more work than children. The consecrations were valued according to the economic worth of the consecrated thing, be it a person, land, animal, houses, etc. In an ancient, agrarian society men had more economic potential and value than women did.

God the Father was not "nasty" as opposed to Christ's "niceness". You'd have to be pretty selective in which scriptures you looked at to produce such an artificial distinction and a shallow concept of the Father's and Son's characteristics.

Aside from "work" value, then. How about Numbers 27? Inheritance law wasn't exactly "fair". How would you explain a son being more worthy of inheritance than a daughter?

The God/Jesus personality differences discussion would be an extremely long one. However, the God of the old testament did go around blowing up cities and smiting enemies and such. Jesus never did any of that stuff. He got annoyed at people every so often but never threw lightening bolts as far as I remember. :-)

How would you explain a son being more worthy of inheritance than a daughter?

Much of the OT law was designed to protect ancestral families. For example, one could not sell land permanently or allow it to go out of the family.

In Jewish society, like most societies, families were patriarchal. The man defines the family. That is why the wife and children typically take the man's last name.

If women received their father's inheritance, when they married it would rightly become the property of their new family. The inheritance laws were designed to prevent that.

Numbers 27 affirms that intention. Zelophehad's daughters were complaining that the "name of our father [would] be done away from among his family". The LORD said "The daughters of Zelophehad speak right".

If the inheritance laws were intending to denigrate women, rather than to uphold families, then the law would not have made an exception as was made in Numbers 27.

Jesus never did any of that stuff.

I suppose you've forgotten about Christ clearing the temple with a whip twice. Also, I guess you're excluding Christ's assertions that He would judge everyone, and condemn many to eternal punishment. He promised that His return would cause "all the tribes of the earth" to "mourn", and that He would omce with "power and great glory". The parables He used to describe His return in Matthew 24-25 show His powerful, just, and angry side. Revelation 19:11-16 also present a slightly different picture than "lowly Jesus, meek and mild".

There are differences between the Father and the Son, but to characterize one as "nasty" and the other as "nice" requires you to carefully select certain scriptures to present shallow caricatures of each. A more complete consideration of the scriptures will show that you cannot reduce God to such simplistic adjectives.
