?"Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you" Seeing that this was commanded before the New Testament was written should it be disregarded? Or should we accept it as more commands from the Lord to be kept?
If you are unwilling and/or unable to comprehend the fact that the Old and New Testaments are one Word, and that your comprehension of time doesn't have any effect on the compound unity of the Logos, why would I waste my time trying to explain anything to you?

"If you are unwilling and/or unable to comprehend the fact that the Old and New Testaments are one Word, and that your comprehension of time doesn't have any effect on the compound unity of the Logos" Indeed there is no time as far as God is concerned but the effect of eternal truth being revealed to to the human mind does play out in time as far as human realities are concerned.
The Logos had no prblem with that reality:

"Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment" (KJV)

Deuteronomy 12:32 - What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Deut -- from Mosaic times, dating back to 1000 BC. Hence GII's question is valid Seeing that this was commanded before the New Testament was written should it be disregarded? --> we now see the NT and OT as one, but at the time of writing the Deut, the NT did not exist and most of the OT didn't either, so do you regard everything written post Deut to be "adding" and to be discarded?
