The Old Testament (OT) details the rise and fall of Israel over and over again and central idea arises from this collective experience-
"If we can just get our laws right, we can have the perfect State - our utopia here on Earth."
Then comes the New Testament (NT), which details the incarnation of "the logos" as the spirit of Truth and central idea arises from this personal discernment -
"No! "the perfect State" is not salvation, the "Truthful Individual" is salvation."
Those wed to the OT reject the NT and presume their storm god is DEAD.
