Why Did God Change His Mind? Old Testament versus New Testament
Why Did God Change His Mind? Old Testament versus New Testament.
ATHEIST: It says in Deuteronomy that nonbelievers and fags should be killed. CHRISTIAN: Jesus invalidated the Old Testament. ATHEIST: Why do you still use it if it's obsolete? CHRISTIAN: Well, it has historical importance. ATHEIST: Well, it _influenced_ history...but that doesn't mean what happened in it is true, does it? CHRISTIAN: It's true. ATHEIST: Evidence? CHRISTIAN: The Bible. Faith. The flood thing. ATHEIST: Um, that isn't evidence. None of that is evidence. The Bible is assertions, religious faith is a substitute for evidence and the alleged evidence of the flood thing has been refuted repeatedly. CHRISTIAN: Well, as a Christian I follow Christ's teachings anyway. ATHEIST: Didn't Christ say in Matthew 5 that he didn't intend to devalue the laws of the prophets? CHRISTIAN: Yes, "until it is finished". When he died, his last words were "it is finished". ATHEIST: Well...Matthew 27 says: And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" ...Jesus, when he cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost." And Luke 23:46 says: And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, unto thy hands I commend my spirit:" and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. And John 19:30 says: When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished:" and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. CHRISTIAN: Well, they were standing at different distances from the cross so they heard different things. ATHEIST: Maybe, but damn--Christ sure seems to have some mixed sentiments there. Anyway, let's assume that God did want the laws changed from the Old Testament. CHRISTIAN: Thank you. ATHEIST: Very welcome. It's not like you have a chance without a handicap anyway. My question to you is: why did God change His mind? CHRISTIAN: Because the world changed. ATHEIST: So God's nature is influenced by the world? CHRISTIAN: Um, um...sure. Yes, I mean no, I mean yes. ATHEIST: So how has His nature changed since the New Testament? CHRISTIAN: It hasn't. ATHEIST: Why not? CHRISTIAN: Because the world hasn't changed in the past two millenia. ATHEIST: Okaaay. Well, isn't the God of the Old Testament a hypocrite anyway--with the genocide and the not killing people and all that? CHRISTIAN: God's a nice guy now. He just burns people forever anyway because that's what you do when someone you love disagrees with you. Why Did God Change His Mind?

Eh? God did not change his mind about anything, in fact in the Old Testament, Ever since the fall in the Garden of Eden, humankind has been less than it was created to be. We are under a curse in result of death and need of a Savior to save us, In the Old Testament God talked about his promise, about a Messiah. You have an Old Testament of people who disobey God from the begin he created Adam and Eve, to the end before Jesus arrives to earth. God showed patience
Then You have new Testament where The birth, life and death of the Lord Jesus changed everything, Jesus was crucified for our sins, the Savior to save us. The day when Jesus will return, as the Lord, In judgment, he will condemn all the nations of the world for their sin. God’s holy nature does not change. He is the same God in the Old Testament as He is in the New Testament, the only thing is different is we are allow to repent our sins, before we weren't allow to, because there was no blood of a sinless person to clean our sins.

Hebrews 10:1The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.
Matthew 5:17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. There are a few questions that need to be answered, so I will be back later. However, Jesus didn't 'erase' the Law. Christians believe he fulfilled it, meaning that, Humans break the Law, and need to pay the consequence. Jesus paid that consequence for us, but the Law is still relevant. |

I personally believe that Old Testament and New Testament are shown the fulfillment of prophecy of Messiah Jesus which is required a match the bible we all believe in. Also, God is true GOD and author of the Bible. Show you the comparison of Old and New Testament:
"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?" Psalms 22:1 (Old Testament) "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Matthew27:46 (New Testament) You see that Old and New Testament are true messages of prophecies. Now if no one believes in New Testament or Old Testament; therefore there is no good as it considers to be VOID! Old Testament is revealing future prophecy of Jesus' coming and Revelation. New Testament is revealing the past prophecy and future prophecy of Revelation.

Old testament was used by Islamic, Muslim, and Judaism, and those religions rejected New Testament and don't believe that Jesus was a saviour. New Testament was used by Christianity and its root, also still use the old testament too. That's all I know about the difference about old and new.

Let me tell you, there is no different thru between old and new testment. then why old and new testment story in bible talk specify about israel's land, egypt's land on and on.. nothing different from old and new testment.
Old and New testmant had the same idenity itself.. Like elisha rise little child from dead and jesus rise lazarus from dead.. there is no different between.. Remember Jesus told leader jews, he wasnt come to destory old, all prophets. he proved them that old of prophets fuliflled and can't broken.

Funny thing; Satan never denied that God existed, nor did he deny the deity of Christ. Satan and his demons knew that Jesus was God. That's why they try so hard to destroy Christ's reputation in the world. |

Cane Corso thinks it just a story taler, It's not a "story" There are many other reasons why the Bible can be trusted, and we trusted it. I don't need someone to come in here without knowledge of the bible to claim that there's no God.

I sincerely hope you know what a theory is in a scientific context. Theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "In scientific usage, a theory does not mean an unsubstantiated guess or hunch, as it often does in other contexts. A theory is a logically self-consistent model or framework for describing the behavior of a related set of natural or social phenomena..." As creationism is based on religious axioms rather than empirical research, it falls outside of the mainstream scope of scholarly science. As science does not attempt to address issues of supernatural intervention in natural phenomena, the consensus of most scientists is to reject any teaching of creationism a science. Someone should start a thread on evolution vs creationism. |

Predictive prophecy? "Show me a BIBLICAL prophecy that failed and I'll shut up." The #1 Rule for Effective Prophecy Writing: Never set a date. That way, you can never be wrong. Show me a Biblical prophecy that *can* fail, because... as written... they can't. Textual accuracy? I can spend all day listing out the inaccuracies and contradictions founded in the bible. Objectivity? ....objectivity?!?! The bible and its authors are neutral? Not bias at all? Well that's a new one for me. Quote:

I'm sorry, But, You're wrong. It's not only by faith, but also by evidence that showed me that the bible is the truth. What do you say about how the world is today? God explained the "sin" It's the behavior, attitudes and motives that are ever present in the human condition. Whole person, what he thinks, what she says and what he does. Our soul, body, heart, mind, and strength, are corrupted by sin. Even mention that in the bible. Also God talked about "A Messiah was coming" Jesus came. That's enough to prove to me that the bible is true, and the word of God. ![]() There are lots of religions, philosophies, and ideas out there, They all claim to know the reality and the truth. What do you know? Were you there? People are trying to be their own kings, running their own lives think they know everything but they don't. ![]() Quote:

See my post here...
Bible contradictions: a philosopher and a historian <-- regarding "Banned from the Bible" Those 27 books in Holy Bible have been chosen by Bishops from various countries that such voting occurred in Niecea, Bithynia in a country which is now Iznik, Turkey which this such "First Council" has been initiated by Roman Emperor Constantine. See this: First Council of Nicaea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia(<-in this link, go to bottom of the page and check out the link "The Council of Nicaea and the Bible") Quote:
There were 300 Bishops deciding which books to go into Holy Bible! Quote:
example of common language from Luther Bible (German Bible translated from Greek Bible); Luther Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Look at the chart: english literal translation and english meaning. you see that "Holy Bible" was put together a 27 books approved by 300 Bishops but that Bible was in Greek! then someone try to translate bible into readable english bible for use in England. Think about it. Do you really want to believe in the Holy Book that was put together by 300+ Bishops from various countries except Britain?
