The question has been asked many times, if we are not under the old testament and instead are now under the new testament then why bother with studying the old testaments?

He is accustomed to recieving the highest honors and special …show more content…
I still think that it is a wonderful thing when some one in a crowd can use common sense and this time it was Naamans servants who were the ones with sound judgement. In verse 13 "And the servants came near and spake unto him and said ' my father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing wouldest thou not have done it?
