You know, things like beat your slaves, kill anyone who works on Sunday, kill anyone that commits adultery or that is homosexual, and so on....
My question is why the justification? Do you believe that the Old Testament is TRUE or NOT? Either it was written by the hand of God, or it wasn't. To say that the New Testament is "what they REALLY meant", isn't that saying the same thing as, "Silly God, he was such a joker back then!"
Without giving me the very predictable explanation of "it was a question of preparedness, and those were the old days" type of false logic, someone please explain to me how you can belive the Old Testament teachings as religous doctrine? Is killing people based on the day they work, or sexual orientation a sin (New Testament) or isnt it? (Old Testament)
