Eater Sundae Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 No, the Old Testament was exactly right. The law and the prophets spoke of the coming of the Messiah. All the prophesies of the Old Testament were fulfilled which opened up the beginning of a new era or New Covenant which is what 'Testament' means. If it was right, why did He need to revise it? Does this mean you agree with the whole of the Old Testament, after all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Bible. Word of your god. Yes or no? The Old Testament is God's word to the Hebrew nation and records how he dealt with them and how they responded to him. The New Testament is God's word to us today. So in a word the Bible is the Word of God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't revised, it is the same message all the way through which is to love your neighbour, the Jews went off the rails at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are the bits of Leviticus etc that are regularly derided on here actually correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 So are the bits of Leviticus that are regularly derided on here actually correct? That is when the Jews were following their own man-made laws. For example murder was prohibited, but the Jews ignored it. They were wrong and not God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eater Sundae Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 One law applied equally to all. The thread's now onto page 3, but nobody's bettered this answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootsBooster Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 One law applied equally to all. The thread's now onto page 3, but nobody's bettered this answer. Well.... Which law should it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Prime Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Newboy's answer is correct. For further clarification, the law of the land, the UK. Imagine how unbelievably warped society would be with several different sets of laws for different people. In fact it wouldn't be a society any more, just a lump of land with different tribes living isolated lives on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newboy2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Well.... Which law should it be? The law we have now, but applied equally to all. And no further changes to it without proper debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
