Re: Questions there's never a good time to ask.

...I know that, though? I assumed you were trying to defend Judaism (which I am not attacking, either) and some of the branches of Christianity that for whatever weird reason rely more on the Old Testament. As to mainstream Christianity, I simply wish it didn't associate itself with the book.

Okay. I would conceivably fall under your definition listed above. If you want an explanation, I can give you one.

With one caveat: I am not about to try and persuade you, btw, even though this is what you seem to be asking for; in my beliefs, ONLY God can persuade you/open your mind/write His law on your heart..and you still have the choice to turn away from that, even if He does.

We don't rely "more" on "the Old Testament" we rely on the Bible as a whole, in the light of how the First Century Church behaved/what they believed. Before Constantine and the Romanization of the modern world, before it all hit the fan. The early Church had NO "New Testament" because they were still writing it down.* The only scripture they HAD were the scrolls of "The Old Testament" none of which were collected together and/or canonized nor any of the other theological nonsense that gets the "scholars" backs up these days/causes divisions and denominationalism. ("A house divided cannot stand against itself.") They read the same scrolls Jesus and the disciples did. They read letters to and from the apostles. To and from other congregations. They sang hymns, which were almost 100% based on the Psalms.

*A part of me still thinks John would look at his third letter, scratch his beard, and go, "This? This is what you included to be preserved for the ages? A letter to the wife and kids? Are you joking with me right now?"

Thank you for your explanation, anon! This makes sense.
