Hello all,
My name is Dan, I come here to get answers about some things the bible say, and to get answers on why I can not get a straight forward answer when asking hard questions about the bible and some of the things it says.
I'm not going to go into the list of things I consider crazy, or morally wrong. I am sure most are familiar with these questions. Topics such as stoning, odd rules to worship, talking snakes, people living to be hundreds of years old, basically certain scriptures if talked about practicing today most would want to put you in jail or in a mental hospital is what I am curious in finding the answers to.
When I ask these questions I always get pointed to other scriptures, why can't the scripture I ask about be talked about alone? Or I get told, at the time of the writing it was normal life, such as stoning women, so it was written that way for the times. When I am told the second answer, I immediately ask, why has Gods position changed on that particular topic?
If it is accepted that the meaning of scriptures change, and should not be taken literally because we evolved, or newer scriptures cancel out the old crazy ones. I ask one final question. Should there be another testament written for modern times?
