^what i was taught was that the new testament was a renewal of the mentalities/laws/God's customs and what not b4 the arrival of Christ..

if you notice in the old testament he permitted killing and it his rules were so slective and so on...it was like he say he was merciful but didnt seem so much merciful...right?

but for the death of His beloved son..for the blood of Jesus..he made things easier for men...read it and u'll understand what i mean!
