Mmm, the majority of leviticus and deuteronomy if I recall correctly. And I wouldn't speak too sourly of the old testament if I were you:

Originally said by Jesus Christ, Matthew 5:17-20
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Can someone translate Jesus for me?

It means that just because jesus is here and has brought the forgivness of God and what not it doesn't mean you can just abandon the old testament. You still have to follow the rules God set down.

Leviticus and Deuteronomy were the most horrible books ever. They were just two books numbering the tribes. All they were were pages upon pages of records and events, and how many kids this family had, etc... There wasn't alot of stoning and what not.

If you want alot of killing and stuff early in the bible you check Joshua. He was a raw dog.

Yes, I agree. My point is that these laws include things such as stoning disobediant children. Wouldn't that be advocating killing?

On a related note, I totally got the brick testament books for my girlfriend for valentines. Most romantic presents ever.

Those laws that include stoning is how they were used at that time, God never says anything about stoning.

For example, at the times of Jesus, people used to stone prostitutes and sick people, "because it is what God demands...", but Jesus defended a prostitue during a stoning, Maria Magdalena.

Still, I'm not a follower of the "Holy Books", I believe that all of that could have been written by someone who seeked something form people. Besides the change in God's attitude between the Old and the New Testament is quite significant:

In the Old Testament, there's fire rains, people dying because of that God is mad (because He gets mad at the Old Book), etcetera.

In the New Testament, God only speaks to Jesus, his son, and is farly more benevolent... that is quite odd...

My view of God (which resides in folosophy) differs a lot from the Old Testament, that's why I don't pay too much attention to the Book, only to the Laws (the ones written in the Tables)

Mary Magdalene? Yeah she was, Jesus saved her from stoning.

Because the old testament is written for jews, and the new testament is written for good people?

xD! You...

Nah I didn't mean that, that's how it is, just read the Bible. Besides, the christian religion has to pay attention to the Old Testament... supposedly.
