Understood. I tend to take the Old Testament and New Testament and put them together for the literal rule of the Messiah. It’s a work in progress.
It is indeed a work in progress, and it’s hard sometimes to take the whole counsel of scripture and properly apply it to a given situation. We live under New Testament grace and freedom - but cannot ignore the Old Testament teachings and history.
I try and remain very circumspect when applying these lessons. I am far less circumspect about other discussions here on FR and elsewhere.
