Burnishing Bigotry - 3rd edition

P.S. As far as ―accepting [both] the Old & the New Testaments‖ as ―the whole Truth of
God‘s Word‖ goes, you once again neglect the now well-established fact (see pages 26-31
previously) that Jesus did not come to strictly uphold or blindly support the Old Testament laws,
but rather to aggressively & radically amend them – to constrain those that needed limiting, to
discard those that needed abolishing, and to expand most of those that remained; imbuing them
with the perfect, humble, self-sacrificial LOVE of his Father; and thereby making them practical
where they were once impractical, Caring where they were once condemnatory, and functional
where they were once dysfunctional – essentially making them Loving where they were once
biased & bigoted.
In Truth, as the Bible itself so clearly shows, Jesus came to replace the stiff, cold and
―dead‖ condemnations of the Old Testament with a Way of selfless Love that was pliable, warm
and alive … with a Way that was Loving no matter what … with a Way that refused to judge
while simultaneously remaining consequent with its consequence … with a Way
that redefined with it meant to Love, and thereby with a Way that redefined – and
radically expanded – the very Greatness of God.
