Lines: 23 I don't claim to have the final answer to this question. Possibly, this term comes from the fact that Christianity is built on Jewish tradition. Christianity does not try to improve on this tradition and teaching. It is very difficult for some Christians to accept the fact that Christ was in fact Jewish. One hundred percent, to the last punctuation mark of the law. As people lose sight of that, the various persecutions begin. (And many things were done in the name of Christ that were totally wrong. It is a shame that people pervert the Word of God.) It is quite interesting, in the past year of teaching Sunday School, 3 months were spent on the Gospels, and 9 months were spent in the Old Testament. (We are now using material written by Concordia Publishing House, but the ratio seems to be about the same for David Cook as well.) It seems that the traditions and teachings of the Old Testament are becoming more important to Christians all the time. I hope so. Jeff Williams BTL Naperville ihnp4!cfiaime
