OK, Tink, pardon my ignorance. I thought the OT was the boogeyman
stuff
and the NT was the cool, new-age stuff. Are you telling me it's the
other way around? If so, please give me a few, better-known examples.

Bingo! Some light are coming on!

We briefly have discussed that the high mark of the Old Testament was "
Thou shalt love your neighbor as your self." Actually this statement
was the second part of His summary, He preceded this statement in his
summary with the first part which said, "Thou shalt love the Lord your
God, with all your heart, soul, and strength!" Still all Old Testament!

He followed the summary of the Old Testament, with the Intro to the
New, " Thou shalt love one another, as I have loved you and given
myself for you."

Do you see any difference between these statements of Old vs. New, and
what that implies? What is the status of the Old Testament today, and
what is this New Testament all about! I ask the last question, to check
the depth of your philosophy, sort of like a dipstick on the engine to
check the oil. It does not change the status of the engine, but you
have an idea of its condition.

I do not mean to say this to be mean, but do you understand then why I
suggested that some of your notions are a bit silly, in light of this
current Revelation? TnT

This isn't even funny now. It's like giving too much catnip to a tabby.
