Galatians 3:24-27

>Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Many Christians read the Old Testament because it is like an oracle. It gives context for why mankind needs a savior and can't be saved by following laws. Paul teaches much of the Gospel in his letters by contextualizing the Old Testament, such as Abraham's faith as a Christian one. Christians also believe it is full of prophecies that predicted Christ's life, ministry, death and resurrection.

I have a lot of themes. But the reoccurring theme, the first and last theme of my novel is the "separation of soul and spirit." I'm referring to Hebrews 4:12.

I'm following your goodreads, brother. Thanks for reminding me about Yates, I just got his short story collection.
Have you panned on writing a novel or taking some other shift to your storytelling? How has life been since getting published?

And the priest shall cause her to swear, and shall say unto the woman: 'If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness, being under thy husband, be thou free from this water of bitterness that causeth the curse; but if thou hast gone aside, being under thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee besides thy husband--then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman--the LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy belly to swell; and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, and make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to fall away'; and the woman shall say: 'Amen, Amen.' And the priest shall write these curses in a scroll, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness. And he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
