I don't know her and hope I haven't wronged her, but when GOD says it, that is 
the end of it for me.  By the way, it is still OK to read the Old Testament.  
It is a love story about GOD and HIS people.  Some of HIS spankings for his 
chosen wiped out entire genetic lines, so you might want to consider the 
conditions HE places on all of HIS promises.  I could be wrong, but three of 
the things HE kept correcting for their repeat offenses were disobedience, 
idolatry, and sexual misconduct. How does that differ from what is happening 
today.  Additionally HE seems to prefer that you don't mess around with HIS 
Words.  HE seems to state that HE means what HE says and Says what HE means.  
As my granddaughter would say, "Go Figure".

Scripture came ancient times by Holy men of GOD; we are instructed to not give 
any of it our private interpretations.  He doesn't seem to think HE needs any 
help to explain HIMSELF.  He is not too big on peoples opinions of what HE 
says either.  Don't you just LOVE HIM.  HE is totally trustworthy and 
predictable.  You know in advance what HE can do and WILL do.  You also have 
access to HIS unwarranted mercy.  Not a bad GOD, I would say.  I love you all,

In CHRIST,
Steven
