Organized Religion, the Bible and the Will of God

Maybe he knew it would take time for people to be ready for his new set of teachings? The way I always figured it was, the Old Testament were the rules that people needed at the time it was set forth. When Jesus was born, it was a different time, when the New Testament was more appropriate.

Well according to the Bible there will be no more prophets (one of the reasons Christians rejected Muhammad as a true prophet) and the next time God intervenes on the Earth will be shortly before Christ's second coming.

I meant for example, regulations on not over-beating your slaves.

You could turn that same argument against anything. God says murder is bad, and if God is omnipotent, then therefore nobody can ever murder anybody else. See where it doesn't make sense?

Huh? God says murder is bad, but God gave us free will. I don't understand what you are saying here.The issue with that is that the texts have changed...just look at the New Testament compared to the Old after all.Why is the old testament so different from the new? And why are there even two? Shouldn't god who knows everything be able to write one book at once that will apply forever? And Mytie said god was mad, but why would he be mad if he knows everything that will happen ever, including him being not mad anymore?

I'm not trying to attack anyone, I just really don't know.

The Old Testament is about an agreement between God and the Hebrew people specifically. The New Testament is about an agreement between God and all of humanity. The agreement DIDN'T CHANGE because they aren't the same agreement. Basically, the old testament is a history book of the Hebrew people, and a story about God making them His nation. He explains, through prophecy, that the special agreement he made with them will be given to everyone, and they won't be His people anymore, because they didn't appreciate the agreement in the first place. Instead of reading "Old Testament" and "New Testament", just read Old agreement, and New agreement. Jesus said that He wasn't there to do away with the old agreement, and He wasn't. He was there to set down a new offer entirely, and He completed the Old agreement, as in, fulfilled it, as in, paid the bill. That one has been fulfilled. It is no longer applicable, but wasn't "undone".

Yet another act of kindness from the peaceful religion of Islam.

Dude, stop. We all know how this conversation is going to go. You wouldn't want Christianity to be judged based on the actions of extremists, stop judging Islam based on the actions of the same.
