Perhaqps you would like to reconcile these two posts of yours in this thread for us? ...

"I think the WHOLE Bible is valid and life-giving. My Savior said something about it:"
"Question, why is Christianity the only religion that negates the front 3/4 of their Scriptures with the back 1/4?"

It might be interesting to hear how you can reconcile making such contradictory posts. Do you really believe Christians believe the last 1/4 of the Bible negates the front 3/4?

I would be glad to, thank you.

"I think the WHOLE Bible is valid and life-giving.

Shock of shocks. Jesus and the first disciples were OBSERVANT JEWS.

"Question, why is Christianity the only religion that negates the front 3/4 of their Scriptures with the back 1/4?"

Christianity is an INSTITUTION. As an institution, it has historically distanced itself (at best) and persecuted Jews (at worst). As an INSTITUTION it since the days of Justin Martyr (110 CE) attempted to show that the only Scriptural authority they claim is in the New Testament. Problem: 1/4 of the New Testament is either direct quote, or allusion to the "Old Testament" - therefore a theory of Supercessionism was created whereby the "New" replaced the "Old." Only problem with this theory... the Bible itself does not support it - ESPECIALLY the New Testament.

I believe that ALL Scripture is given by inspiration, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness that the man of G0d may be complete, thoroughly equipped for good works.

If the INSTITUTION of Christianity cannot agree with that, then I am not a member of the INSTITUTION called "Christianity." Should a follower of Jesus follow Him obediently? Can a disciple of Jesus imitate Him? Must that follower be a member of the INSTITUTION that annuls the words of the Almighty? Certainly not.
