Irrelevant? Then why do Christian churches feature readings from and sermons based on the Old Testament? Your answer is patently false.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky... 0 #29 August 20, 2006 QuoteAnthing from Leviticus only applies when it is to your political advantage to point out Levitican Laws.... like when you need to justify your hatred of gays. All that Old Testament law stuff.....which technically were supperceded by Christ in the New Testament anyways. They are also really big on breaking the Ten Commandments these days too.... but they sort of gloss over that part.....you know... Thou shalt not kill..... Thou shalt not covent thy neighbors Oil. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighber who has oil so you can grab it. QuoteAll that Old Testament law stuff.....which technically were supperceded by Christ in the New Testament anyways. Disagree, the OT and the NT are both in the Bible.

Lucky... 0 #30 August 20, 2006 QuoteAs usual, all the quotations of law are from the Old Testament. Your thread title should instead read "Bible Questions for Jews", since the post-Exodus chapters are based upon traditional Hebraic and Talmudic law (I'm no Rabbi, BTW, nor am I any kind of divinical scholar. However, I have actually studied and not just read or skimmed through the thing in its entirety as opposed to taking quotes out of context [in this case the Old Testament law sections (e.g., Leviticus, Dueteronomy)]) and using them to ridicule and bash people of faith. You're missing an important point: Christians aren't subject to Jewish law. You can find a couple of silly zingers in the New Testament too, if you look hard enough, but here's the deal: even the Jews themselves couldn't live with all those stupid laws. That's why it all changed beginning with Bethlehem. Let's see you publish some quotes from the Koran now. Mohammed said it was okay to kill people who wouldn't "submit", in fact, he encouraged it. Then, kindly show me where in the New Testament (NOT the Old) that Jesus, the disciples, or others (especially Paul, aka Saul of Tarsus AFTER his conversion) ever said it's okay to brutalize others. You won't. mh Don't even make the Koran as the OT. The OT is in teh Bible, so it is part of Christianity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucky... 0 #32 August 20, 2006 QuoteQuoteNow, can you explain to me why certain "Christians" are so hot and bothered to have those in Government buildings? Paul talked about that i Romans 7:15-17: "15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good." Basically he's saying that the old Jewish law is good for a reference, but to follow what Jesus taught and try to live the example that Jesus gave. There you have AggieDave's theology in a nutshell lesson for this year, I'll go back to talking about guns and swooping...or is it swooping with guns or the range swooping competitions. Well, something like that. So you're saying the Christians defend old Jewish law, but otherwise don't feel compelled to it and in some cases reject it?

Lucky... 0 #33 August 20, 2006 It sounds like a lot of double-speak to me, especially since the modern-day Christians reject most or all of anything Jewish, just ask Mel Gibson. I know little about theology, but what I read in this thread is interpreted as, "It depends what the definition of is, is." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky... 0 #34 August 20, 2006 QuoteSo when does the Newer New Testament come out? I'm looking forward to a newer revision of god's will and his thoughts on how I should conduct myself on the internet and while using my Ipod. I love how you can bend and manipulate religious text to meld with modern ideas. Do you actually believe what is written? If you do, why don't you follow it to the letter? It is really the hottest, steamiest pile of horse pucky you might ever step in. It's about as pathetic as case law in that it gets reversed as the dispensors see fit.

Lucky... 0 #35 August 20, 2006 I've got another one for ya: Book of numbers, the Zeal of Phineas. Here, Phineas kills both a menanite mate of an israeli (as I recall) mate because , Moses is impressed with this act to keep the races pure, he makes Phineas a priest, so the fable goes. Post Civil War, this mentality is what the US used to drive antimiscegenation laws, meaning people of different races couldn't marry. Yes, there were laws on the books stating so and it was challemged and reversed..... anyone care to doubt me? Point is, yet another atrocity at the origin of the lovely Bible.
