The new one is with the church. And the rules that you regularly, consistently try to accuse Bible believers of ignoring are part of the old covenant. It is not an easy, simple delineation. There are moral imperatives that are basically restated or re-emphasized in the New Covenant, and others that were social or simply meant as establishing Israel as a people set apart from the other nations of the world. I do not have all the answers. I was a strict dispensationalist for many years, and having come out of that, I have been learning the emptiness of that system and trying to understand the relationship between the covenants. So I am not a perfect interpreter. But I am confident that the Bible is a final authority. God said it in the Old Testament and Jesus, who is God, re-emphasized it in similar words in the New Testament, that their words will last forever, even though the rest of the universe will pass away.

And your comment that the Bible is full of unscientific crap is A crapola statement.

Except for the fact that it is full of a lot of unscientific crap. What's also interesting, is that it lacks scientific knowledge. One would think if the bible were the final authority for the universe it would contain more concrete information about that universe. Yet it does not. In fact, it seems limited to the knowledge of the primitive men who wrote it. I always find it interesting that many Christians like to use the old vs. new convenant line. By that logic, I guess the 10 commandments are null and void as they were in the old covenant section.

Don't play stupid. They are all, except the Sabbath, repeated in the New Covenant.
