I think the issue of these passages have nothing to argue. People who want to understand Orthodoxy, I advise you to read the New Testament. The Old Testament was filled with the coming of the Savior on earth, and certainly a part of the Bible, a very respectable and useful, but still the basic law for the modern man is in the New Testament.

I think nobody here does not convince anyone, nor had such a goal, but I want to say that a believer has one very significant difference from the atheist, is the most important thing-the experience of communion with God. This is a very special feeling, which helps to look at a lot of new, gives strength to many works, and helps to ignore the imperfections of earthly Church, and some ministers, etc. The man who discovered this feeling will never be able to say that there is no God.

Once all this is vague. The Old Testament is the holy scripture that is be understood literally. All comments are no longer sacred. According to the New Testament Jesus is called the son of Yahweh commanded to read the Old Testament. In a conversation with samorityankoy who asked him for help, he said he could not help not circumcised dogs. From this we can conclude, all that is written in the Bible-the Old Testament with all the nonsense and absurdity of our relations does not. Yahweh is a purely Jewish shtetl God. We see another. And since God can be only one offer to remove the brains out of the jar with the cucumbers and make a conclusion.
