J2, I claim that the Bible is history; OT and NT. They go together perfectly
and you can't really understand one without the other. If you can't believe
the entire Bible is true, you will never understand the multiple layers of
it. Try looking at it with a new eye, huh? I understand that you are Jewish
and don't take the NT as true, but I know that it is. I read the Hebrew OT
as well as the Greek NT, and believe me, they do go together. Pennie
