For thousands of years, men and women have poured out their lives, souls, and blood, and yet to this very day have still failed time and time again, to attain righteousness, achieve perfection, and purge their world of evil, all in an effort to become good enough for the love and approval of their Creator. They reach out endlessly to a God who created them less than perfect, and yet they believe that He demands nothing less than perfection from them. When they fall short, as all men inevitably do, they throw themselves at the feet of their Creator, begging for mercy, forgiveness, and salvation from the wrath and anger that they believe God has in store for them. This age of man's fear, insecurity, and estrangement toward God has lasted for thousands of years. It once was an age of ignorance, then it was an age of naivety, and now is an age of sheer drunken stupidity.

Do you ever fear that, when you die, you might burn in hell forever? Do you ever think that, maybe God doesn't love you? That maybe you're not good enough to stand before Him? That maybe he doesn't want you there?

When you mess up, has anyone ever made you feel like God is angry with you? When you fail, do they make you feel worthless? When you stumble, do they tell you you're in danger of God's wrath?

To claim that God commanded David, or anyone else, to participate in genocide, infanticide, slavery, etc., is the claim of the old testament, but it is not a claim that The New Covenant Group holds to be true.
