I know that the old testament is a hijacked testament. true or no? If you aren't Jewish, the old testament doesn't apply to you. Period at the end of that sentence.
G*D implicitly tells the Jews that G*D and the Jews will forever be linked. The Old Testament is a JEWISH G*D, no one else's. Their tribal religion,and it was never for outsiders. You are either part of the clan, or you aren't.
So, what is the Old Testament doing in the Bible? Riddle me that one Batman..
Hijack.
Then the common answer may be heard. jews broke the covenant with G*D, so they're out and we're in (so to speak).
That is certainly how the church behaves. History shows that once Christianity was plucked from relative oblivion, and joined itself to an Empire, the Jews were in for a bad bad time.
Because that was the crux of the biscuit now wasn't it? The Jews breaking of the covenant... according to the church (powers) it was the Jews DENIAL of the supposed Jesus which broke their covenant with G*D. Says who? says the folks in charge with all the power.
Zip... Old testament now ours. The new and improved religion.
This brings us to the main lie. You cannot use the new Testament against the Old. The Old ends with the Jews firmly blessed for all eternity and destruction for those that harm them (only fitting since they wrote it).
So a lie is needed to over come it. To overcome the rejection the early Christians must have felt towards their home land, like an orphaned child the church struck out with the story of Jesus. To break the covenant. But one religion cannot say another is no longer valid, unless you own that religion as well. The Old Testament was needed to be coupled with the New.
Motive, opportunity and gain. In a court room, it wouldn't even be close.
They'd be dusting off the hot seat.
