No wonder you creationist never know what it contains, you fell asleep during that part. It's full of god telling his people to murder and rape, slay this slay that. In fact come to think of it, you may want to denounce your religion. The OT is boring!? No wonder you creationist never know what it contains, you fell asleep during that part.

It’s full of god telling his people to murder and rape, slay this slay that. In fact come to think of it, you may want to denounce your religion.

It is an excellent survey of the main themes of the OT. Javetta,

I love the Old Testament. God revealed to me the pwoer fo the Old Testament because I learned about types and shadows. And I cannot get enough of it, even the judgement sections and rebukes from God speak to me in some ways. 1. Gods Spirit will reveal truth, pray that you would receive from the Old. Don't rule it out as out of date or irrelevant. 2. God did not put those histories and stories in there for nothing, realize the deeper truth of them and how they set up things for the NT and for Jesus to come. 3. You don't watch a movie from the middle to the end, you can enjoy it and talk about it but watching the beginning will help you understand and enjoy the end much better. Man.. I love the Old Testament.

I have been greatly encouraged by Stephen Dempster's book "Dominion and Dynasty: A Theology of the Hebrew Scriptures". He does an excellent job of bringing out the unity in the OT Scriptures and the thrilling aspect is that it all points to the work of Jesus as the risen Lord and the Church as the promised dominion and dynasty. Thanks again for the post! - Steve Ward Lionel,
