(5,730 posts)what about judge not, lest you be judged. Cast out the mote in your own eye before that of others, or some such.
Weren't some of those for hygiene purposes?
I don't focus on the Old Testament much. I prefer the uplifting words of Jesus, the Sermon on the Mount.

(34,090 posts)I often question Christians that quote the OT. I just have to ask them about Jesus's words on the subject and invite them to buy a Red Letter Bible and focus on the words in red if you wish to be called a Christian.
I saw a bible once that had red, blue, geen and orange letters. I kid you not. Published not highlighted.

What were the blue green and orange letters?

He liked messing with people like that. He was sort of a cross between Gandalf and Mr. Greenjeans. [Sigh]
