Subject: why don't people study the old testmant |
Bible Note: SUEDE, We cetainly do disagree here. I do not deny that the bible contains history, but when it does, the point that the authors make is the way in which God works in history- the bible is not objective history (nor is any history, for that matter)- it is a theological interpretation of events that show God's divine work. Each section of the OT demonstrates God's desire for a relationship with his people in spite of their failures; each book shows God's love, mercy, faithfulness, justice, holiness, grace, and his universal love for all people, including gentiles and pagans. These are not historical- they are Gospel! I am sorry to hear that you do not see the OT in this way. ischus |
