If Christians do not teach violence then why dont they remove the Old Testament from their Bibles ?

Question

If not, then they are reading and teaching violence in the name of GOD.

Many in Iraq and other wars have quoted the OT while committing violent acts in the name of Christianity.

.

Answer 1

They don't teach violence.
The Old Testament is part of their history.
Are you sure that they were Christians?
They are under a new covenant with Christ...
not the OT covenant and it's traditions.

Answer 2

"Many in Iraq and other wars have quoted the OT while committing violent acts in the name of Christianity."
Really. You proof is conviently missing. But hey that's not unusual.

"If Christians do not teach violence then why dont they remove the Old Testament from their Bibles ?
If not, then they are reading and teaching violence in the name of GOD."
LOL. And now the OT teaches violence!!!

Try giving some proof.

Answer 3

Even if they removed the OT, who would the atheists have to indict then?

You must be young. Grow up. Stop repeating only what crap you see others like you writing in here. It's old.

Come up with something new.

"If Christians do not teach violence......" all while you're probably watching some blood and guts movie, or playing some stupid, violent playstation 2 game and yelling and screaming at the tv (which, by the way, modern science has determined cannot hear you), and then coming in here and spewing fallacious hypotheticals topped with copiuos amounts of hasty generalization.

Go amuse yourself elsewhere.

Answer 4

Because God doesn't go around being violent just to be violent. Every thing he did was a consequence of someone's actions or lack of actions. He did what he did because people didn't follow the rules. He gave people a choice, and when they do something wrong , they paid the consequence. many in Iraq and other wars, take things out of context and don't read what it is all about. They only notice the consequence. They don't read about how many chances the people got to make the right choice or how rebellious the people were being. read the whole thing. It makes more sense that way. We most definately don't teach violence, we teach that there are consequences for everything you do. we teach them how to make good choices.

yaweh is calling God a sadistic bastard???????????? Yikes, not to judge but I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. Talk about consequences...

Answer 5

Christians in reality do use the two books. The old testomony is the place the ten commandments got here into play, the commencing place of sin, the 1st foretelling of the Eucharist, the Virgin Mary, Baptism, and another Christian activities. Plus the old testomony shops all the prophecies that Jesus fulfilled interior the recent testomony. however the regulations of the old testomony that we aren't to any extent further below have been meant for the hygiene and identity of the Jews. Like Jews have been forbidden to devour beef because of the fact of Triconosis, and the shortcoming of luxury cooking ingredients. yet while Christ got here, he began a clean regulation affirming that everybody the regulations that werent approximately precise and incorrect have been now no longer on top of issues. Jesus asked us to love God and our neighbor. And interior the old testomony, animals have been sacrificed for the sins devoted. yet Jesus got here and disposed of the slaughtering of animals, for this reason putting off our sins constantly.

Answer 6

One of the 'changes' to theword of God is the definition of Old Testament. The scriptural definition is the law of Moses; the superficial unscriptural definition is Genesis-Malachi.
Which OT are you suggesting being removed currently?

Answer 7

The Old Testament is history things actually happened in the old and new. This is a cope out of being a Christian.

Answer 8

It seems to me that most violence in Iraq is among the Muslims fighting against each other and persecuting the Christians.

You sound like a very bitter Muslim, BTW.

Answer 9

Because they need the elaborate lie to be so confusing that you just accept it and stop bother to think rationally. In Hong Kong by the way they think that the bible is a violent and obscene book.

Answer 10

It is part of the bible. It shows how God rewards the obedient and punishes the disobedient. Back then God spoke to people. He doesn't today. People are going to do whatever they want and use whatever excuse they want to.
