oops! too late to edit my previous post.
Of course the Old Covenant/Testament of the Christian Bible is based on the Hebrew Bible and therefore stands on it's own in Judaism. Laura Schlesinger is coming from an Orthodox Jewish position so of course wouldn't be quoting the New Covenant/Testament. Just to clarify that I wasn't being "bugged" by Judaism. I do love Prof. Kauffman's response. |

It does seem ironic that Evangelicals who claim to believe that the New Testament "was sent" as a new Covenant with Jesus and superceeds Old Testament, use the Old Testament as an excuse for bad, bigoted and homophobic behavior....to mention just a few things.
It makes ZERO logical sense. Like how can you love your neighbor as yourself and turn the other cheek andf also believe in an eye for an eye. Or be against abortion no matter what and FOR the death penalty. Zero logic. My father said I was an abomination back when I was 21, it sounds funny to say, but if I really think about it, it seems pretty heavy and maybe a drop strong. What about "thou shalt not judge"? calling someone an abomination seems pretty judgemental to me.

Current teaching among many liberation theologians (including many feminists ... see Luise schottrof, for example) is that using "Old" and "New" is antiJudaistic, and the preferred terms are Hebrew and Greek Bible, or First and Second Testament.

![]() I may have to go with First and Second Testament, since the Testaments were not all originally written in Hebrew and Greek...and I strive for logic...not that I usually find it. Grin.
