Back to the future?

A Pilgrim's Progress: Back to the Old Testament?:

Eric is banging a drum I have been beating on for some time, i.e. the way that many of our church practices find their origin and support in the Old Testament and make no sense under the New Covenant church. From tithing to sacred buildings to a distinct clerical class, we practice the gathering of the church using the Old Testament as our guide instead of the clear and quite different instruction we get from the New (my most recent foray into this arena was a post on Christians and the Sabbath). Eric makes some great points, go check it out!

Thanks Arthur.

The NT is clear about the church. Why do so many Christians ignore it in favor of the OT? The answer: TRADITION!
