It is in comparison to the OLD Testament. There are TWO Testaments, and the NEW Testament is the more recent one.

I suppose it depends on the context in which one evaluates it, but that's rather obvious. Did you have any intended purpose for this thread?

To put the Bible into context, it's all a matter of hygiene.

You don't use Biblical passages in context though.

I am a humanist, sir, it is my right to use the Bible in any manner I see fit.

You have the right to attempt to do anything, but that doesn't make your conclusions correct.

If I propose a conclusion, you may reject it or not as you see fit. I am not a tyrant. I don't propose that my conclusions are necessarily correct, I only wish them to be considered.
