Thank you.

[redgolum]

For later read.

[Little Ray]

So do I; Israel's existance is so precarious, you have to cut 'em some slack.

[Jack2006]

Why can't you answer a simple question?

Is the Old Testament literally true for us today? Yes or No?

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

The answers have been provided.

[Jack2006]

The answers have been provided.

The fact you cannot answer Yes or No, to a simple question of whether the Old Testament is literally true for the modern world answers my question.

I don't think God cares about nation-states - only people.

You, sir, are mistaken.

Genesis 12:1-3
"Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."

And BTW, the fulfillment of the law by the Redeemer does not buy the redeemed any right to ignore being obedient out of love.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" (2 Tim 3:16)

There is no exclusion of the Old Testament.

Is the Old Testament literally true for us today? Yes or No?

What problems in our society exist today that would not if teachings of the OT were adhered to?

[No Blue States]

The Bible, can we trust it?

An interesting read for those who have doubts.

An online Bible, searchable by any word, topic or passage:

:)

[azhenfud]

And even for those of us who trust....

[Jack2006]

Can you answer the question though?

Is the Old Testament literally true for the modern world? Yes or No?

Is anyone solid enough in their faith to answer a very simple question?

[azhenfud]

I like this one too.

Your welcome.

Like many here I would support Israel anyway due to the fact that they are a democratic ally in the middle east.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Also Israel is our only real friend on the planet.I am convinced she would die for us just as surely as we would die for her, if push ever comes to shove.

[azhenfud]

As I stated, What problems exist in our society today that would not if we adhered to its teachings? the answer is many, so the OT teaching IS applicable - YES - it's just we WILL NOT and thus we reap the consequence.

[No Blue States]

The entire Bible is true.

Should we stone adulterers today? No, they were under the Law, we are under Grace ever since Jesus rose from the dead, provided we trust in Him.

I get the impression you are not trying to understand the issue, but only argue against it.

"Is anyone solid enough in their faith to answer a very simple question?"

Are you solid enough in your doubts to die without fear?

[Jack2006]

As I stated, What problems exist in our society today that would not if we adhered to its teachings? the answer is many, so the OT teaching IS applicable - YES - it's just we WILL NOT and thus we reap the consequence.

So you believe the Old Testament is literally true? Okay thanks for answering the question.

Now, if that is true, then do you support killing those who commit adultery and homosexuals as God commands in the Olt Testament?

The point of this (in case anyone forgets) is that many on here are taking American foreign policy from this very book. If it is true on Israel, it is true for all things. It it is not true for all things, then the Israel policy from the Bible could be wrong too.

[Jack2006]

So you agree that there are parts of the Old testament no longer relevant to us after Jesus? Thank-You!

If we are heading toward Armageddon, abandoning our friends is not going to keep us from going there. If we are not heading toward Armageddon, why would we abandon our friends?
