Contrary to what some people here may think, I do have an interest in the Bible, even as an agnostic/atheist. My interest is more in the historical, philosophical, and sociological realms than spiritual, of course. |

I assumed this response would come up. The book of Mormon can't really compare to the transition from Old Testament to New. I am not saying that this is NOT necessarily the newest testament, but obviously the task of recognizing the testament is insurmountable, given that your belief is in the very small minority. |

I'm not mormon, silly. I don't have a religion! |
|
Sorry... didn't recognize the Devil's advocate here. Still worth discussing, I suppose. |

^ WHat's that supposed to mean? |
|
"Devil's Advocate" is a term that means you are speaking as if you believed in the other side of an argument in order to make a point. It's a good debate tactic, and you did it just fine... I just didn't recognize it because I assumed you were a Mormon. |

I was speaking for technical facts, sorry, rofl. |

The LDS church is growing at an amazing rate, I'd say we're anything but exclusive. |
|
i was wondering that too. When i debate most Christians will say the OT doesn't apply anymore, although i'm pretty sure 10 of the commandments are in that section. Sometimes it is the same with the NT as well, they will say well that was a long time ago, they were different rules. |

I was speaking of the splintering of Christianity, not about LDS in particular. The fact that there so many different brands of the religion suggests that people (as a whole) are becoming less and less sure of what road to follow. A Newer Testament(tm) should help direct all Christians, as the previous two have. |

I don't really agree with "they mention that the old worked for a more ancient time period, and the new replaced it because it better related more to what people could understand at that point in time". That might be kind of true but I really don't think that's the main reason that the New Testament was written. |

Actually that point of view has come up a number of times on these very forums when the Old Testament has been quoted to show the bible has some questionable teachings in it. |

You're missing the point of this thread. It is not to point out the failings of either testament, rather to point out the failings of those who use the argument of the old testament no longer being valid to justify the new testament. If you are not one of those people, that's fine. I was not addressing you in the original post. |

My Grandpa used to have a book which contained only the direct quotations of Jesus Christ, and nothing else. Evidently it was a short book. I'd like to find again though as he sold it a while ago, sounds interesting. |
