Right. I was about to say the same thing. I probably should have said
"New Testament" in my previous response. This is the new covenant with
Jesus. I suppose you can look at it as "the new way we do things
around here."

The God of the Old Testament was an angry and vengeful God. Jesus
changed that by taking away our sin. Through Him we are now seen as
"worthy" enough to enter Heaven.

The rest of this message is a response to Farrar:

You're absolutely right. There are quite a few various "Christian"
groups who see things very differently from one another. It all
depends on your interpretation of the Bible. Two people can read a
given passage and come away with two very different ideas about what
it meant.

There is ample evidence throughout the New Testament of Jesus'
behavior and what he requires of us. Nobody could make a rational case
that it would be right in the eyes of God to go out and harm others.
It's like these nutcases killing abortion doctors in the "name of
God." The Christian God that I know and believe in does not support
their actions, and no rational Christian would support them, either.
