Most Christians assume some of the Bible is right and some of it is wrong. That's why they ARE ok with (for example) women speaking in church. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It also seems most of the American Taliban want to pick and choose their Levitican laws to follow or not follow or browbeat people with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonD1120 60 #12 April 11, 2014 I was going to jump on this one. Then I read down the responses and decided it is not worth the effort. If you major on the minors you end up with minuscule conclusions. The only major point of the Bible is the gospel. Jesus Christ is the Son of God and of man. He died on the cross to pay for your sin, separation from God. He was resurrected and remains as the path for you to have a relationship with God. Accept His gift or not, your choice.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

That's logically impossible, since the New Testament clearly states that the Old Testament is still in force and always will be. So you'd, at minimum, have to disregard at least Matthew 5:18 if you reject Old Testament laws. However most people take what they want from the Bible. Very few people take either book as a rulebook, a science book or a history book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maadmax 0 #25 April 13, 2014 QuoteJust a lame excuse for cherry picking. Actually, your response is a tragic minimization of the most important Truth you will encounter in this lifetime. There is "Cherry Picking" and then there is rightly interpreting the Word of God. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
