It bugs me that folks quote old testament scripture when in fact God sent us Jesus and a New Covenant/Testament to supercede the Old Covenant/Testament.

Being Jewish, I don't think the new testament supercedes the old. I'm not religious in a practicing way, but I think there are a few religions that don't see it as superceding.

I think Dr Laura is full of crap and can read into the bible any way it suits her needs. She can only speak from her me place not mine, thank goodness. In fact, we have a bible here from 1951 and when looking at new ones and it at the same time, the wording has changed from bookmaker to bookmaker.

I must admit to having a good giggle this morning fondly remembering having dropped 2nd Testament three times and finally making an F in it because I could not stomach the class at Baptist college.

I don't believe that any of the Bible can be taken literally thousands of years after it was written, yet people continue to use it as an explanation and excuse for REALLY bad behavior.

I mean, let's say one does believe in the Second Testament...then I have to question if they have actually read it, because I don't see Jesus running around calling people abominations.

The wording of the Bible changes all the time. Things were added in the Middle Ages because it was thought it sounded better, differences were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls...and honestly everyone translates from their own point of view....and you have translations of treanslations of translations going on. It is like a game of telephone.
