@lednabwm@mstdn.party I will keep this brief. I know I'm not going to change your mind, that's ok. There is a substantive difference between the Old Testament and the New. Certainly one informs the other, but one also supersedes the other. To jump back and forth quoting both is rather like approaching modern American jurisprudence and then pretending that slavery is still the law of the land. There is plenty to object to in the NT, no need to try to find things in the OT.
@wolleysegap But that’s Christianity in a nutshell. Abandon the Old Testament UNLESS it contains something you really like, and then use it to back up your feelings. @lednabwm
@AlliFlowers Why are christians even using the old testament? Isn't the whole point that they follow the NEW testament, not the old way? @wolleysegap @lednabwm
@BackFromTheDud@mas.to @AlliFlowers@talkedabout.social @lednabwm@mstdn.party The OT is useful as history. That's my take on it, anyway
@wolleysegap @BackFromTheDud @AlliFlowers
So, in spite of the vast majority of archeologists agreeing, the story of Moses is fictional and not historical, you think the OT is a history book.
@lednabwm@mstdn.party @BackFromTheDud@mas.to @AlliFlowers@talkedabout.social Moses? He is credited with writing the first five books. There's a good bit more to the OT than just the first five books
@wolleysegap Don’t try to lump Mishnah and Torah together. The Bible is only the Bible. @lednabwm @BackFromTheDud
@lednabwm Oh I *LOVE* that! @wolleysegap @BackFromTheDud
