I'm a bit confused...you've mentioned many time about being an ardent Christian, yet you scoff at the OT writings...are you an NTer like jerritol?

I don't scoff at it, but some of it certainly does not inform or assist Christians in living Christ-like lives.  Ezekiel 23 is one such example.  As I said, I served as the interim minister at a Congregational church in Maine for two years.  We ALWAYS followed the lectionary, which includes an Old Testament passage, a Psalm, a Gospel passage, and an Epistle passage.  I would always use three of those four in every service, and one of them was ALWAYS the Gospel passage.  And 90 percent of the time, my sermon was an exploration of one of those readings.
