[quote=skippy3481]Scuds, are you serious? First Christ didn't write anything in the bible. Various authors did. He is methodist, which means he believes in the trinity. All scripture is god-breathed and god-inspired. So Christ=God. While the god of the bible is a loving god. he is also a vengeful god. There are plenty of examples of his wrath.
Why would you discount the old testament and read only about christ, when the whole bible is about God=Christ?[/QUOT
For the most part,the Old Testament is written by old guys in the desert who said they were inspired.It's crap. Just guys talking ****,and of course it's gunna line up perfectly with people of present day that also are looking for something that agrees with their way of thinking.The people who are attracted to the OLD TESTAMENT are people looking to force people to be a certain way that they agree with.Hateful people wrote it,and hateful people are attracted to it.For instance,homosexuality is written about in the Old Testament,but Christ never talked about it.You would certainly think if it was so important,then he would have commented about it.Nope.The people who commented about it are people who hated homosexuals (for instance,a-hole Paul in the New Testament.) If you want a positive experience,then go by what Christ said.If you want to hate gays,and like to punish people then be like most of HEE HAW Nation,and put your head into the parts of the Bible that don't have Christ's words.If you choose to think of God as vengeful,then read the parts of the Bible written by guys like yourself.That's all they were.Just guys who said they were inspired.Could be most any Nascar Driver.Let him go into the desert with some wine and write about people he doesn't like,and voila...inspired word of God.It's called Christianity,but people much prefer to read the words of people other than Christ(because it fits a- holes thinking a lot better.) Wouldn't be a very popular religion if it didn't have the angry judgemental stuff.
