etson,
I like your summation,
I would add that the God of the Old Testament is the same one referred to in the New Testament and in the Qur’an.
Muslims accept Jesus as a Prophet, albeit a minor one with Mohammed superseding all others in importance.
ok, a friend is coming over and we are going to drive to williamsburg. I don’t really know much about williamsburg. Any certain streets to drive down, walk down.
I doubt he has ever been there.
Simple restaurant to eat at?
A few quotes about women from the new testament:
Ephesians 5:22-24
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Colossians 3:18
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
1 Timothy 2:11-15
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing.
1 Peter 3:1
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands.
1 Corinthians 14:34-36
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
“Need to read the NT as succeeding (and replacing) the OT if you are reading the Bible as a Christian.” —
could you please tell that to all those crazy ranter preacher-wannabes on the A train.
Oh right, Dionne was trying to get free stuff the night she was going around telling everyone her name was hoolahey. I liked her. I think Dani won that season. I liked her, too.
Proverbs 12:16
A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.
I love vinegar but can’t eat it anymore thanks to the ulcers. Last Sept. I chanced it and wound up in the hospital. I’ve been afraid to touch it ever since.
denton- like BHScott pointed out. There’s a lot in the bible and was society evolved, so did our dealings with those things. And as I pointed out, much of the bible is open to interpretation- look at how differing versions of the bible came about.
I’m pretty sure the Bible says the OT is ok as there is lots of prayer going on in here daily:
– “Please, God, let ______(fill in the blank) STFU.”

“what does the bible say about the OT?”
