Oh, sure. Very convincing. And I imagine with a little star dust you can fly too...right?

No star dust necessary, with God all things are possible. :)

So, this is not really you doing the answering but the Holy Spirit?

Only to the extent that what I say is God's truth. When I blow it, that's on me.

Christ of the Gospels contrasts a lot of the OT. The two are often diametrically opposed.

Christ certainly didn't think so, in fact, He supported the OT, the scriptures, every jot and tittle. Maybe one of you has to be wrong about this. :) BTW, I read somewhere that there are no jots and tittles in Greek so this must have been Jesus making an MT reference.

Then no Bible is needed either. :)

I see, so God only leads you to a point, then when you start to stray He lets you fall?

But that doesn't count against your righteousness so it really doesn't matter, does it? You can do pretty much anything you want. God will let you (or so it seems you imply)!

I believe the reference was to the "law and the prophets" which is identified in the NT as "love" and not as the OT.

It says in Mat 15:18 "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished."

And on the Cross (John 19:30) Jesus is quoted as saying "it is accomplished" without heaven and earth passing away!

PART of me is gratified to see someone else valiantly tilting with windmills.

Some of the lurkers learn a lot.
