[QUOTE="Stavrogin_"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] You are correct. The OT is not the actual Christian teachings....though so many use that book as though it were to denounce Christianity.LJS9502_basicIt doesn't work that way. The Old Testament IS a part of Christianity, just because you don't like it doesn't make it any less important. Also a quick lesson in history will show you that even though Christianity might have had a message of peace it did not turn out to be a peaceful religion. That's the trick about reality. On paper, communism is an utopia. That is incorrect. The OT is a companion book because it was the book of God's relationship with people. But it false to claim that Christianity's message is in the OT when the teachings are in the NT and in conflict with some of the messages in the OT. Yes, as i said above, the message itself might not have been violent but Christianity certainly turned out be a violent religion. Also, about that last sentence, i remember yesterday you were claiming that the bible doesn't have any contradictions. I certainly got that impression.
