I interpret the Old Testament through Christ. If the spirit of Christ is fighting the spirit of something I read in the Old Testament, I question it, at the very least.

Hi herefornow! (and Merry Christmas to you!),

Christ IS the rock. We must all fall upon Him sooner or later, and be broken...

Just thinking..

Blessings!

Thanks, Brian. Merry Christmas to you, as well.

(Maybe David took things a little too literally??)

Don't you think that is a little harsh? Have you ever known this law to be inforced?
Don't worry, you can reject as much of the Bible as you like. Remove a verse here; add a verse there. Here a verse, there a verse, everywhere a verse, verse.

People have always denied God and replaced It with their idols. Yesteryear the idol was made of gold. Today, the idol is American. Who cares? Life is short! Why worry about how your behavior affects others? It's all about you, right?

No . . . it's all about Christ! . . . NOT the ignorant and savage descriptions of Jehovah and our barbarous ancestors' superstitious beliefs and cultural practices.

That might be true but you haven't proved it.

That's a fact. Idols exist in all forms.

I don't agree with it, but I don't think anyone should get in the middle of someone else's altercation either.

For the mainstrean Biblean Churches . . . their idol is the Bible they worship as the word of God . . . instead of Jesus Christ the living Word of God we Christians worship.
