Reply to "Is The Old Testament Still Valid In The New Testament Churches?"

3/4 of the Old Testament is boring laundry lists of alleged events and tribal superstition, taboo, and the most repugnant primitive theology imiginable. Thank God that the Reform Jewish movement swept so much of that baldersdash away! Now let us continue on with our own religion, that of Christ Jesus, born, teacher, prophet, Son of God, Light from Light, Perfect, Crucified and Resurrected and not worry about who we are or are not to stone, whether or not a sex act lands us in the stoning fields or eternal darnation, and certainly not about mixing fibers, plowing with a donkey and an ox or not eating a ham sammich or a dozen oysters or starting a fire after sundown Friday night, eh?

Not that Job isn't a smashing good philosophical novel or some of the Psalms pretty good, and the majesty of the Creation Story can't be beat in Jacobean cadence . . . however, the majority of it is just foolish Bronze Age xenophobia, wishful thinking and a creation of a national myth, compounded with poor copy editing on the part of the scribes in Babylon.

Sorry, I prefer the Book of John.

Hi Neal,

So, in your mind, the only valid Bible is the Book of John and your Book of Prayers -- plus your Traditions.

Maybe you should mention this to God -- and He can do a rewrite of all those old books He authored so many years ago.

Just think of it! You may be the new messiah who will bring in a new religion: John-Book of Prayers-Tradition!

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill
