re: #17 Walter L. Newton

Well… first off… there was no “bible” when this scripture was recorded, or verbally passed on… no greek scriptures anyway (new testament).

I still don’t understand why you said “Can’t hide behind the New Testament anymore, can they” Considering this scripture, and the attitude of some christians to other religious books being of “pagan” origins, I’m still not sure what they are hiding behind?

Oh, that. I meant there a lot of modern Christians who would say their beliefs promote harmony and acceptance. That it’s the New Testament they’re living by, “love thy neighbor” and all.
