Bible Note: I just read your post for the first time and I'd like to think I can agree with just a note of caution. That is the few places where the OT and NT show a contrast, as is the case with marriage and divorce, then I and all other christians should side with the NT. Yes, as I've stated before the best portions of the OT are indeed repeated by Jesus and His Apostles whenever they show support or endorsement of NT precepts and new relationships but most of the time, the NT goes far beyond like forgiving our enemies instead of being allowed to hate them. Another the sin of lust in our hearts (our minds) for a woman outside the marriage relationship compared to the OT command of abstaining from adultery. The most powerful contrast is between the Perfect High Priest in the NT compared to the Levitical Priesthood in the OT. In so many ways, the NT is far superior, again as cited in the Book of Hebrews. So as long as we're agreed on this basic setup, the OT is the perfect document to study and understand the NT. I really am hoping we can agree on these terms as I have so many posts on this Forum indicating a rather deep gulf between me and those that love the OT. My preference is for the NT as stated in my profile. God bless. --Rowdy |
