The old testament is polluting my brain.

Abide with me. said:

The old testament is a litany of wickedness and every evil and unrighteous aspect of human nature, with few exceptions.

If this were presented as an example of how not to live I could continue reading it, but as the God of the old testament commands and condones atrocities, I feel it is polluting my soul to read any more.

It is also beyond credible to believe that a human being can live up to a 1000 years old or that women can give birth in their great old age, and if God thought it was all true and righteous in his name, then why did he sacrifice his only son to come to earth to put a completely different message across?

I don't think Jesus did entirely believe the o t, I think he had to say he did to buy himself enough time to establish Christianity, he was already skating on thin ice with the establishment as it was without completey demolishing the O T, but he used it selectively as a vehicle to push forwards a new Christian way of life.

History is stained with men doing wicked things because they said God told them to do this or that, the O T is just the same.

I have read no other explanation of the O T that I find credible or acceptable, so for now, I will resume reading the N T before my faith in the Bible is corroded any further.
