Thank you Pastor Ezekiel. With all due respect, I already could tell that you understood the Bible. Your answer that I quoted is 100% correct for example. However, I addressed my question to Rae-est to try and get a better read on her. False Christians have a tougher time with those questions.
As for my use of the tetragrammaton, YHWH was the personal name of the God of Israel. I know that you TCs don't use that and I respect that, for some parts of the Bible are very old and outdated. Still, in the Old Testament, God showed a remarkable predilection for dung and slaves compared to in the NT where he starts revealing the horrors of brimstone. I find it elucidating to learn different people's opinions on that subject.
Isaiah 45:6-7:
"...I am the LORD and there is none else. I form the light and create darkness. I make peace an create evil. I the LORD do all these things." (KJV)

Old and outdated? Please point out which verses of THE LITERAL WORD OF GOD that you find no longer relevant.
We follow every page, paragraph, sentence, word and letter of God's Holy Word.
I would say that God is very consistent throughout the entire Bible on subjects such as slavery.
Ephesians 6:5
Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ.
Colossians 3:22
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
1 Timothy 6:1
Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
Titus 2:9-10
Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
1 Peter 2:18
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

Jesus seemed to think it was all quite current.
Tell me, how do you decide what is "outdated" and what is not?
Do you not think that God -- being omniscient -- could simply revise the Bible at will, if He felt that part of His Perfect, Complete, Unchanging Word was, as you put it, "outdated"?
