First off let me say that it feels really good to start Blogging around
Mychurch again. It’s been a pretty long time since my last blog but get
ready to see more.

So to get to the point, I have been looking around facebook and youtube
and have been looking at the Christian vs. atheist or whatever arguments
that are going around. One of the biggest things I see is people using
Leviticus or other old testament books to show that Christianity is a
religion of hate. They use scriptures in Leviticus where it shows that
the Jews were allowed to have slaves and were supposed to stone people
that didn’t uphold the law. They say that, and I’m not quoting, "why would
we want to be a part of a faith that believes in this."

now, i get that the old testament is like... the mayflower compact. It
is the 1st law that we had. Then after that’s been used we have the
constitution, aka the New Testament. It basically still uses some parts
of the Old Testament but it also "updates" what needs to be updated.

Now I hope I didn’t loose you on that but bear with me. When the subject
of homosexuality comes up, many Christians say that it is wrong because
it says so in Leviticus, but they put down others because they say that
we believe in slavery because it says so in Leviticus. So my question
is... what rules in the Old testament are void, and what can we still
use?
