So, the Old Testament no longer applies? Not according to God...

On Ray's latest post, The God Of The Old Testament Is Different From The God Of The New Testament, I ran across this delightful little gem from our good friend Jinx Mchue:

So why aren't believers out killing witches and unbelievers like the bible demands then, if it's the same "God".

Same God, different covenant. Seriously, if you atheists knew half as much about what the Bible says than you constantly claim to but actually don't, you wouldn't ask these ridiculously simplistic and idiotic questions.


Sorry, Jinxie, but according the the New Testament, that's dead wrong.

Don't believe me? Check out these passages:

“For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:18-19)

"It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid." (Luke 16:17)

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." (Matthew 5:17)

"All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness..." (2 Timothy 3:16)

"Know this first of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence of God." (2 Peter 20-21)

“Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law" (John 7:19)

“For the law was given by Moses..." (John 1:17)

“...the scripture cannot be broken.” (John 10:35)

Seriously, Jinxie, if you knew half as much about what the Bible says as you pretend to, you wouldn't try to pass off such a transparent and laughable lie.
