1 | Rowdy, NO, Answer my question first | Matt 5:17 | Rowdy | 121657 | ||
I think I've done that very clearly... "As I stated in my post, I don't wish to abolish the OT but merely recognize It for what It was and this is the Law of Moses, notice the use of word Old vs. New. Even the group who organized the current Bible known as the canon recognized the Old Testament was obsolete as that expression must have originated with them." Now will you please answer my questions? What questions? The same ones I posed to Countrypreacher and anyone else who would like to participate in the discussion. I really do want to carry on the dialouge here but it takes two. Tell me what you think. God bless. --Rowdy |

You said ... "Even the group who organized the current Bible known as the canon recognized the Old Testament was obsolete as that expression must have originated with them" - Cite your sources ... Who was the group? ... Are you sure they used the word "obsolete"? - If you believe the Old Testament is obsolete, ... then why even look at it |

I'm not able to answer you first two questions as I don't know much about the cannonization process. I'll let you look that up. But I am convinced that the OT is obsolete as evidenced by God's Word as cited previously. The disignations Old and New are merely endorsements of that fact. However, I'll repeat myself yet again, this obsolete condition only applies to the OT's authority, especially as it applies to the few minor differences. The bulk of the OT is still an incredibly valuable document for study, and understanding the NT. Without the OT, we could never hope to understand most of the NT or to even understand our world. So I have tremendous respect for the OT. You might compare this respect to that of the top racers in today's auto races. Those drivers have much respect for the history of automotive industry in the past century but is it possible that one of those old jalopes with its old engine and transmission could overtake its modern counterpart? You say, that's a silly comparison, and I guess I'd have to agree but it's the best I could do at the moment. Remember all of us of drivers have respect for and appreciate the tremendous value the automotive industry meant to this country's industry and commerce. In the same way, the OT didn't have an "engine or transmission" to take care of sin completely. It didn't have a qualified "mechanic" or a good enough High Priest like we've got now to administer such a high powered "vehicle" or covenant like that of the NT. There may be other comparisons but I'm already stretching the envelope here so I need to hush. By the way, I apologize for the length of time it took for my response. I sincerely hopes this helps (instead of confuses) and God bless. --Rowdy |
