I thought this was interesting. Journalist spent an entire year trying to follow every rule of the bible.

Very interesting video. The trouble with what he did though, was that it was mostly OT law, which is truncated in the NT. The ten commandments are still used in the NT, but most of the old laws were done away once Jesus came to earth. The priests at the time still were going by OT law, but Jesus came to get rid of those.

Interesting take for sure, and he seemed to get a feel for what Christians believe, and why we believe the way we do.

Thanks for posting!

 So, God did a "director's cut" for the Big Ten?  What is the updated version & why is it not the more accepted list?   I pretty much hope the killing & stealing ones remain, but the others are rather silly...

You didn't read my post very well becuase I didn't say that the ten commandments were truncated. I said the OT laws were. There were more laws in the OT then just the ten commandments. Those (as in the other OT laws) were done away with.
