Do you think the old testament is compatible with the new one? [Spirituality & Religion]

@Stroika Interesting point, but I wonder would it make punishments like stoning ok?

I think if you profess to be a Christian and believe that the bible is the word of God then how do you reconcile the many contradictions in it. btw, I am an athiest but I have no intention here of trying to dismiss anyones beliefs, just asking questions 🙃

@Stroika Accuracy cannot be ascribed to something supernatural.

Trusting in Christ is more than a hope-so faith; it is a know-so faith.

@triangless That’s just the way people did it in the old days. Not today.

@LadyGrace Whats the differnce between hope so and know so?

@Stroika Hope so is something you’re a little “iffy“ about. You’re just not sure. Know so, is having no doubt that this is a person you can put your trust in and they will not let you down. Obviously, Jesus died hundreds of years ago, so we cannot see him.

After he died, it became a matter of our spirit knowing God’s Spirit, that’s why it takes Faith now to know Him, since you can’t see Him. You can’t see gravity, yet you know it’s there because you see the effects of it. If a person will just open their eyes, they will begin to see Jesus in everything about nature.

That wasn’t the end of the story. Over 500 witnesses saw him resurrect from the dead, yet people make any excuse they can find, to disprove that as well. They’re not really interested in finding God in the first place. The fact is, they don’t want to believe. They ask me why I don’t prove it. That’s not why I am here. That is the job of the Holy Spirit, not mine. For that, you have to open your heart and mind and truly want to know him and find him. Seek and you shall find.

If accuracy cannot be ascribed to something Supernatural then how you do you know that the words written in the Bible are accurate translations of the supernatural?

@Stroika As far as providing proof. We can’t see Him. Of course, God does not expect “blind” faith from us, as many claim. He tells us that faith comes by hearing, and hearing, by the Word of God. [Romans 10:17] Do you believe you have the assurance of waking up tomorrow. Are you prepared? That’s what counts, above all.
