@Smileyrius,
Quote:Obsolete? Please explain
Yes, Jesus trashed and made obsolete the harsh bits of the Old T by example, for example when the fundy mob wanted to stone an adulteress as prescribed my the Old T laws, Jesus rescued her and told them "On yer bikes".
Likewise he trashed the ancient "eye for an eye".
Obviously, if God had thought the Old T was all we needed, he wouldn't have sent Jesus to give us the NEW T..
People quickly took it on board-
"Jesus saved you from the empty way of life handed you by your forefathers" (1 Pet 1:18 )
"Through Jesus we are saved,and not through Moses" (Acts 13:39)
"We serve in the new way of the spirit,not in the old way of the written code" (Rom 7:6)
"The epistle of Christ,written not in stone,but in the heart" (2 Cor 3:3)
"The law was given by Moses,but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ" (John 1:17)
"The veil covers the old covenant,but is removed by Jesus" (2 Cor 3:12)
"The covenant of which Jesus is mediator is superior to the old one" (Heb 8:6)
"In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent." (Acts 17:30)
"Jesus is worthy of more honour than Moses" (Heb 3:3)
"The law brought us to Christ like a schoolmaster,but now through Christ we are not under that schoolmaster" (Gal 3:22-25)
