I assume you're talking about stuff from the Old Testament?

I'll be honest with you... I don't know if the things I read were specifically from the Old or New Testament... I just know they were in the Bible... but if you're saying that those things are only described in the Old Testament, then I'll take your word for it (for now)... but Christians do read and follow the Old Testament just like they do the New one, no?

Woodrow:
I don't think you'll find any Christian or Jewish sect of any importance or influence that believes the Books of Moses are anything other than the History of the People of Israel. The only part of the Old Testament that is considered the "inerrant Word of God" would be the Ten Commandments. Most practicing Christians and Jews (including Fundementalists, Conservatives and Orthodox) understand that that was a different time and place. Whack-jobs like David Koresh don't count.

That could be argued for a lot of things in these religions...

Bumping for a reply from finite.
