‘Knowledge in small spoonfuls is worse than ignorance.’ (Debra Cloud, Sept. 1988) Christians are supposed to follow the teachings of the philosopher Jesus, as re-told in the New Testament. According to current Christian theological interpretation, the teachings of the New Testament basically supercede those in the Old Testament. For example, before Jesus, the Jews, according to the Old Testament were taught ‘an eye for an eye’. In the New Testament, Jesus refuted this teaching and taught, instead, ‘turn the other cheek’.
