29. Hold on.
Edited on Tue Dec-16-08 01:46 PM by John Gauger
If the Jews wrote it, then it was progressive. If God wrote it, then it's barbaric and draconian. If God is eternal and all-knowing, we should not today, in Western society, be more progressive than he was 3000 years ago. While it's true that the Babylonians had much harsher laws, that only matters if contemporary men are writing the laws of the OT. If God was writing them, we should expect them to be timeless.
