What do you think?

to bu villian, you have to understand the difference between the old testament and the new. it was never ok for one to take anothers life or to lie because men took it into their own hands to decide who lived or died. the people that God ordered to be slaughtered in the bible where sinners who worshiped false idols and broke His commandments and God clearly stated " the wages of sin is death" and " vengence is mine ". God never commanded anyone innocent to be killed, it was the punishment for those who turned against Him. in the new testament He gave us grace because people just couldnt follow the rules and NOT once in the new testament did God command anyone to kill.


also to The Ren, im curious as to why those of Jewish faith don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah? i got something bigger for you, what would you say if i told you He was more than that, that He was God Himself in flesh? i have scriptual evidence to support my claims ofcourse

Many Christians do believe in the Old Testament (e.g., Ten Commandments). Why don't you believe in the Old Testament? Why is the NT more valid than the OT? Sorry it's hard to know what Christians believe because there are so many different forms. After all, Jesus said:

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." (Matthew 5:17 NAB)
