Dear Phil (duck dynasty) Robertson, Thank you for educating people regarding God's Law

[Douglas Carpenter]

12. Everyone who has ever had even a cursory exposure to Fundamentalist Protestants

is well aware that they reference the Old Testament all the time as an authority on issues such as homosexuality and many other matters. The Ten Commandments are Mosaic Law and are required memorization for every Fundamentalist child. Of course their use of the Old Testaments is very selective. AS with the New Testament - they quote the parts that fit in with their belief system and ignore the rest. The New Testaments is after all much more strict than the Old Testament. While the New Testament teaches that it is impossible for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and the rich are commanded to sell all they have and give it to the poor - the Old Testament only requires 10%. While there is no mention whatsoever in the Old Testament of hell or eternal punishment of any sort - and only the vaguest of references to any life after death - The New Testament brought in the idea of eternal hell for those who ignore the plight of the least of those among us. .
