It seems stupid that a discussion of Religion should be limited to only those who are eighteen and over.
Indeed. I feel that, instead, people should align their "personal agenda" toward the Bible, instead of interpreting the Bible in light of their preformed biases.
As for the Old Testament, a few of my favorites are the History books (I and II Samuel, I and II Kings, I and II Chronicles), the Poetry books (Job, Psalms, and Proverbs, mostly), and Isaiah.
However, I hold to II Timothy 3:16-17:
"16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (II Timothy 3:16-17 NIV)
According to this, every part of the Bible is profitable to the Christian walk in one way or another. Even Leviticus (as boring as that book can sometimes be).
Quote:Thing that annoys me most is people using Bible to push their own personal agenda. In fact, there's nothing that annoys me more. It's one of the reasons I'm growing increasingly impatient with organized religion today, in fact.
