So, OT is not to be taken for face value, but NT yes? Why? How do you come to this conclusion, and if this is the case, why is it word of god? Do you believe it's word of god?
I have a problem with this, because if Jesus came to fulfill the law, but the law is not to be taken literally, then how do you pick what he is fulfilling?
If the stories are not literal, why would the god not be clear, knowing people would take it at face value? Why would the writers inspired by god write so much rape, violence, and theft, but not mean it?
See, when people cherry pick the Bible, it creates a domino effect with questions and questions and questions. How do you pick? Why? Who told you to do it? What is the OT for? Etc. If he did mean it, then did god change? Did he evolve?
