So why do we keep pretending that ever word of the Old Testament is equal to the teachings of Jesus?
Jesus and Paul sure knew what they were talking about when they said that the builders would push aside the Chief Cornerstone. You only have to read this thread to see it.
Wow you make very wide and sweeping statements about what myself and what others are saying. I will not waste time quoting etc.
I will address the above statement. I try in my posts to give a bit of both OT and NT and it looks like you forget Jesus is God and God is unchanging as we know from scripture. The God of the OT is still the God of the NT and the moral, ethics, thoughts, lessons, etc still apply to us today. You are right we are not under the law but Christ came to fulfill the law not do away with it. OT scripture in the proper context can still apply to us today as much as Jesus' teachings apply to us today. John puts it into perspective below:
1 John 4:7 Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 Gods love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His One and Only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God remains in us and His love is perfected in us.
13 This is how we know that we remain in Him and He in us: He has given assurance to us from His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent His Son as the worlds Savior. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of GodGod remains in him and he in God. 16 And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
17 In this, love is perfected with us so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, for we are as He is in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears has not reached perfection in love. 19 We love because He first loved us.
