Have you ever just tried to take the Old Testament and try to relate it to your life or try to modernize it? It sounds crazy. There is this one story where the daughters make their father drunk and then they sleep with him so they can carry on their family name. That is disguisting. What in the world would our world and the tabloids say about that. I mean can you imagine it?
"Obama daughters seduce father." That would be crazy and people would never look at them the same. Yes, I realize that those girls are young, but it's just an example.
It is amazing how much our culture has changed since then. I have trouble remembering that the stuff that happens in the Bible, actually happened. The Bible is a history book. It is a book of early history. Abraham and Ruth and Joseph all actually walked on this earth. That is insane to me. It is so hard for us to wrap our minds arounf that because that kind of stuff doesn't happen in our world today. Our world's problem is we have forgotten our roots. I'm not saying that it is a good thing to make your father in a drunken state and then sleep with him to carry on the name.
The stories are absolutley insane and crazy and radical. It would make sense that we have a radical history when we have a radical God.
