Ok... so we just started a new youth band in our church but... we have no name for ourselves. Some ideas that came up were Arrow, and Leap of Faith... but i am lookin for the most... flipping awesome band name anyone can think of... ill give you a star on your next blog if you say a good one :)
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?
I happened to stumble upon this find...(as usual) and found it really good. The man can beatbox while playing a theme from super mario on the flute.. must watch it.
And in this video that I found while watching the flute one, same super mario theme but played with drums... another must watch.
