I am confused who wrote the new testament? and decide to change things?. Did god supposly tell them to write it or did they thing the original old testament was wrong?
I have always been confused about this.
The short answer is that the new testament is the fulfillment of the old testament and is now the covenant God has made with each individual (a "new" covenant). It is also retroactive in it's effect to people who lived prior to Christ. He is the one and only permanent sacrifice for all time and all peoples.
God inspired and men penned both the old and new testament.
I can understand how people draw the wrong conclusion about God's character and nature from the old testament, but what is it specifically about the new testament that causes you to conclude that God is a "slightly less horrible superbeing"?
If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
