“Eh, that Hebrew stuff, God was bipolar and cruel. All I need is the gospel.”
How dare you slander the prophets that delivered prophecy about the Christ as following a mental case of a God. How dare you slander Jesus as half-baked for the ecclesial orations he delivered to the crowds based on the Hebrew scriptures. Oh, and most important, how dare you deny the truth of the perfection of the true God who in humility gave glory to the Christ and his apostles in the gospel and epistles to the ecclesia.
In Revelation we revisit the prophetic drama of the time of the end woven through the Hebrew Scriptures. These bring to life how the true God will institute His perfect standards on His earth with perfect creation to laud Him. Working toward perfection is now.
Christ fulfils the Law of Moses. We need to live according to the products of Mosaic law. It is not irrelevant. The sacrifices? Humanity has been fulfilling those. In the future, for the sinless, the use of priests, No! Christ is the high priest who is also the reigning king in the heavens. Christ is waiting for the true God to Shepherd in the sheep to life free of Satan's influence for His reigning times. (Abraham made a gift to a high priest and king, named Melchizedek. The point, a priest-king existed during the days of the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah.) The Christ receives rulership over the earth when Satan is abyssed.
The true God used prophets to express His provisions to save His sheep. This provision started with the Law's fulfilment, Christ's sacrifice. All creation is saved. That means every human conceived. Before Christ's kingdom plenty will look for ways to practice; fornication, idolatry, and a plethora of works of the flesh with no willingness to repent. Faith in Christ's sacrifice that is not proved by our works is non-existent, inert, or dead. There is no repentance where there are no works that prove repentance. Forgiveness we ask for and we must live a life in harmony with the true God's Word for forgiveness.
Paul wrote to young Timothy that all scripture was inspired of the true God, and an instrument to build a life the true God would write in His book of life. (Life, as in to save you from death by being resurrected.) What was the scripture that Paul was referring to? The Hebrew scrolls, Genesis through Malachi. Cannot you just hear the boy, a teenager whose frontal lobe is not fully formed, gripe about reading the Lamentations and, worse still, three books about women. The writings of Jesus' ministry and the apostles' letters to the congregations of the first century were being penned.
Toward the end of the first century is when Revelation was written. Then faithful Christians, surviving the brutal attack Satan was instituting against them, were hiding, saving, and compiling, the first century letters that the true God wanted preserved. The Bible as we know it, Genesis through Revelation survived against insurmountable odds. When Paul was instructing Timothy, and others in the congregation, he paraphrased the Hebrew Scriptures and incorporated the miracles and examples of the Christ to tie how Jesus' fulfilment was in harmony with what the true God had commanded of His people, always. There is not a verse in the Bible that is not relevant for us today.
Every verse may not apply at every moment but those that want to live in the true God's Kingdom will adhere to every verse of the Bible, as if it were, guess what? The Bible on how we are to live as people. (See God point to the Bible.) This is not a guide that calls you an imbecile. It is a guide. It requires a dictionary, patience, prayer, and a willingness to change how we do things so that we can live up to the truths we do understand even though there are many that we will not understand for perhaps years to come. The Bible is uniquely alive with the power of the Holy Active Discipline of God. (Commonly called holy ghost or holy spirit by some.) Holy Active Discipline heals the heart by calling you a loved individual whose life is precious to the spirit union that created you through Adam and Eve in the first place. (Feel God calling you something. What He tells mac is how much He hates you. It's the Ba'al you fuckers built that earned His hate.)
Being obedient to our parents was the first command with a promise. It is in both the ten commandments -- that the true God took and preserved in His ark of the covenant -- and the Greek Scriptures. That promise was that things would go well for us as children. Those parents? Our heavenly creators. Denial of the value of all the scriptures is akin to denial of the existence of the true God in the first place.
