Why does the modern church mix and match and patch together the Old and New Testament Scriptures reading the Bible like a flat one-dimensional book?
Why do modern Christians post the ten commandments in classrooms and courthouses but not portions of the sermon on the mount?
Why do we parrot Billy Graham "the bible says" giving equal authority to every text within the written scriptures and usually not distinguishing between the written word and the living Word?

Is Jesus Moses 2.0 or is Jesus something greater?
