Umm, Tony, I'm confused. Are you saying that Galatians is a book of the Old Testament?Was not the teachings of the old testatment replaced after the death of Jesus on the Cross? (I would Hope so!) As I endured Evangelical Christianity Sunday morning, Sunday nite, Wednesday nite, all sort of sweaty camps and bible school centers run by an Evangelical Church I noticed from an early age the stange selective cherry picking of old testatment teaching - while others are junked.
Here is one of many Corkers in the Bible, which is Littered with guidelines on slavery and the commerce and trade of people. This is wholly relevant because it is found in the same old testatment (where Galatians is found) that you refer.
"And if a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do. If she does not please her master, who has betrothed her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her. And if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the custom of daughters. If he takes another wife, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marriage rights. And if he does not do these three for her, then she shall go out free, without paying money."
—Exodus 21 7-11
And here are some more delights:
In Leviticus 18:20 adultery was defined as a man having sexual intercourse with his neighbor's wife. "Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her." Leviticus 20:10 "And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death." Deuteronomy 22:23 extends this prohibition to a man sleeping with a woman who is engaged to be married. If a man has an affair with an unmarried woman, the act is not considered adultery. Married men were free to visit prostitutes. A man who committed adultery did not commit a wrongful act against his own wife, but rather against his male neighbor.
Leviticus 27:6 A child aged 1 month to five years of age was worth 5 shekels if a boy and 3 shekels if a girl. "And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver."
I can quote you some almost equally vile and misogynistic verses in the New Testatment as well.
So, which books, chapters, and verses in the old testament do you ignore? Which do you embrace? How does this peculiar selective science work?
