yep because the jews were trying to say this in acts 15\n\n5Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, "The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses...\n\n& 11 says this 11No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."\n\nand its summed up with what you say in the Question\n\n19& 20 19"It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God20Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.

Old Testament, old laws... think New Testament

Ahhh Wicked Wonder, just the new testament now,\nJesus fulfilled the law by living a sinless life.  Now is another testament.  You are so curious that one would wonder if you were not close to becoming one of us.  Then you could change your Yahoo name.\nNo evolution here, mankind just wouldn't obey the laws, didn't have it in them.  God sent his son to do the job.\nJohn 1:17  For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.\nHebrews 7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.  \nHebrews 7:25  Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.  \nJesus brought in the New Testament, and he will save you to the uttermost if you ask him to.

I couldn't list them all for you if I wanted to. There are more that were rejected than there were that were approved. Everyone that has suggested looking up Apochrypal texts is on the right track. The life of Adam and Eve was a good one from the old testament. The Book of Enoch, The gospels of Mary, and Judas, Peters Revalations. Those are just a few of the interesting ones.

The Bible was written thousands of years ago; since then it's been translated, re-translated, and possibly even mistranslated.  It's impossible to truly tell what its meaning is anymore.  As for what will happen in the end, no one can say for certain, because that part of the Bible is so wrapped up in symbolism that it boggles the mind just by reading it.\n\nAlso, despite what some may claim, the Bible is not written in code, either.

You are not completing these scriptures. Matt: 5:22  reads However, I say to YOU that everyone who continues wrathful with his brother will be accountable to the court of justice; but whoever addresses his brother with an unspeakable word of contempt will be accountable to the Supreme Court; whereas whoever says, ‘You despicable fool!’ will be liable to the fiery Ge·hen′na.\n\nGehenna was a waste heap outside of Jerusalem where the bodies of the dead criminals were burned. This is one of the reasons that man has taught a hell fire doctrine.  Which is not true by the way.  Jesus is talking about non believers and what might happen to them.  Not that it will.  It says liable (or deserving).\n\nMatt: 23:17 Fools and blind ones! Which, in fact, is greater, the gold or the temple that has sanctified the gold?  Meaning spiritual laws or the one who made the laws.  The Jews of Jesus time put more emphasis on obeying the Mosaic laws rather than showing love.  God commands love before the law.\n\nPsalm 14:1The senseless one has said in his heart:\n“There is no God” They have acted ruinously, they have acted detestably in [their] dealing.There is no one doing good. \n\nPeople that claim there is no God are doing so to sooth their consciences.  So they say in their heart "there is no God" and they act detestably in their dealings.\n\nWhy are these contradictory?

I walk in the faith that the Bible is a load of codswallup. Especially concerning the parlor tricks of the New Testiment. 1Peter 2-24 included.\n\n-SD-

Nope...\ntake a look at the source for the accurate verse.

Leviticus is the Jewish law.You are not supposed to follow these laws because you are under grace & not the law.Although much of the Old Testament doesn't apply to us we can see types & pictures all through it.For instance in Isaiah you can see Christ.He tells of His death burial & resurrection.Also of the suffering that Christ would go through.Of course this is all through the Old Testament.

I remember in the book of Mat.  Jesus said He came not to abolish the laws etc.  but to fulfill the prophecy.  The Torah was the initial law etc. to be followed and then add the new later after Christ came and spoke.

So many bad answers from Christians on this it's fairly amusing.\n\n1. "Things/the rules have changed"\n\nResting on the sabbath is a moral precept of one's obligation to Yahweh.  If you are saying this changed, you are saying that God changes his morals, which opens up the idea of moral subjectivitiy.  There is no way around when God said "forever".  Either you are calling him a liar, or you are wrong.\n\n2.  "The law was destroyed"\n\nThen why did Jesus say he did not come to destroy the law?  Remember thar part in Matthew about "not one jot or tittle of the law"?  You are calling Jesus a liar here....not sure what your God would think of that.\n\n3.  Paul said hold no day above any other.\n\nSwell for Paul.  Unfortuantely, Jesus and Yahweh BOTH said different.  Tie goes to the deity, I would think.\n\n4.  "Christians are under grace, not the law"\n\nThen you can ignore the 10 commandments, I assume.  No?  Only the fourth one?  I see.  What part of "forever" and what Jesus said in Matthew don't Christians understand?\n\n******\n\nThose are just a few responses.  Christians love to pull the "Paul Card".  Go ahead and grab anything Paul may have said (ignoring that he often spoke on behalf of himself, not God) and use that to totally dismiss something either Yahweh or Jesus said.\n\nThe bible IS inconsistent.  But if I were to believe in it, I sure has heck would take God's "forever" dictate pretty serious, not Paul's bitter ramblings.

Well.... I have a problem with 1, for starters.  I don't think the 10 commandments of the bible are that hard to improve on.  Let me find a thread for you.

The Old Testament for-warns us of up coming events and how it all came to be. Its like going to the end of the story and reading the last page...we need the old with the new to better understand and to encourage our faith.

I asked some people about that yesterday. Apparently it was only supposed to apply to the Israelites... At least that's what they all said but I haven't fact checked it yet.\nThe abominations are the same.\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqnbbDeGVoLENsNqVkflpGvsy6IX?qid=1006051123125\n\nHere's a link to the questions I asked in regards to leviticus...

That's actually a really interesting question, and I'm afraid I don't have much time to fully answer it, but I'll give you a basic overview.\n\n\nBack when all the texts were compiled and what should (or not) be included in the New and Old Testaments was decided, some of the texts were left out.\nWhile some were fully censored and destroyed (for example, the newly discovered "Gospel of Judas"), others were simply censored or adapted.\nThe existence of Nephilim was one of those situations, where the scriptures were slightly censored and therefore some rare references to generally unknown things can be read in there. Never heard of Lilith? That's another example of a removed text.\n\nWhile in the link I'll provide below there is some information about your subject, you could also try to read the "Dead Sea Scrolls" or "Apocrypha", as they have some of the texts that were cut out and (perhaps) provide more information on Nephilim.

Heh, heh... thanks bro. ;)\n\nI have seen some rare textual changes that have changed the meaning or even elimination of a word because they could not see how it fits. Hebrew letters can look very close to one another, much like our "l" and "i". So any distortion in the leather parchment could be a problem or the flaking of the ink could cause problems as well.\nMy mentor once told me that when the military creates a complex code, they transmit it with parity, or multiple times, so that if the coded message is in any way garbled, they can compare it to earlier or later transmissions. The Bible does the same thing by repeating the important messages several times. This is why Deuteronomy is called Deuteronomy. It's "repeating what we already know is true".\nCan these people explain to me why the entire 2,000 year old Isaiah scroll found in Qumran is virtually identical with the modern copies found in every synagogue in the world?\nRemember that Revelation carries an eternal curse of damnation for anyone who adds or subtracts from the text of scripture, and I do not think King James was hoping for political advantage at the expense of his soul.\nToday, we still have the original Hebrew and Greek text. Changing the scriptures would offer us ZERO political gain. Yet is still translates the same as the original King James, only with todays vernacular. \nI wonder if these people even research beyond their own notions. Do they have such skepticism when they read their dosage instructions for medication?
