This is a question I have been ...Very good points! This is a question I have been looking into a lot recently. People always seem to use "Old Testament" and "Old Law" interchangeably, which I don't think is correct.<BR/><BR/>Peter, in Acts 1, uses a prophecy that had apparently not been done away with to justify appointing a new apostle in place of Judas.<BR/><BR/>"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." (2 Tim 3:16,17)<BR/><BR/>I tend to think when it says "All Scripture," that includes the old testament. Of course, we must read with discernment. For instance, with a little thinking, we can realize that we don't have to sacrifice animals, since Jesus was the perfect sacrifice. However, I've heard many people actually say the New Testament should be the only source of "authority" for us today. I don't think this makes since, considering this passage.<BR/><BR/>Calebhcalebmadrigalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00046759823058610420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14696592.post-51881694458368380292007-04-27T16:03:00.000-05:002007-04-27T16:03:00.000-05:00We still hold that in marriage the 2 shall become ...We still hold that in marriage the 2 shall become 1 flesh. <BR/><BR/>some other ones we would do well to consider -<BR/> Be fruitful and multiply - fill the earth and have dominion over it (compare to population control theories...)<BR/> Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul mind and strength<BR/> covenant of circumcision?<BR/> <BR/>while we all still have a lot to learn I think your on the right track with this one... -TracyT.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17640366326156724834noreply@blogger.com
