And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel. And if the man like not to take his brother's wife, then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother. Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her; Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house. And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed.

Ok this is from the Old Testament... The Old Testament is followed by the Jews... it prophecises the coming of Christ, and these laws are followed by the Jews... Christianity is the New Testament which is a new covenant with God because the Jews rejected Jesus (the Messiah). Christians do not follow those old laws... the Old Testament is included with the New Testament as a testimony that the two volumes are tied together. So by picking apart the Old Testament you really are picking apart Judaism not Christianity.

The Bible is an amazing document... its 66 books written by over 40 different authors, who most of them did not know one another - over a span of 1500 years... yet tells the complete history of God, the Jews, the rejection, and then savior of all mankind.

C.S. Lewis wrote a book on Christianity "Mere Christianity"... as he was an Athiest - set out to prove there was no God and because of his research and what he learned became a very devought Christian... He said that for people to say that Jesus was not the son of God, but was a morally just person is absurd... He said for someone to claim the things that Jesus did and not to be the truth would have to make him a raving lunatic... you either have to beleive in him as a whole or that he was insane. It was also in that book that C.S. Lewis talked about our ingrained ability to sense right from wrong and wanted to know how the average person from childhood regardless of upbringing had that sense...
