Go no further, this is the winner: Luke 19:27 "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me".

I'm going to stamp a T-shirt with this sentence on the front and another in the back saying: "Context, my ass!"

Thanks Nuwanda, but unfortunately it isn't me who is being so deviously briliiant, I think it is Spenser .
OK, so at least part of the OT is repealed. However, the bible is inerrant, so here we have something that is inerrant being repealed. This is a bit like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object! I suppose you can wiggle out of it by saying something like that the word of god is the final greatest authority and if the final greatest authority wants to repeal something it has said it obviously can. But it doesn't sound terribly convincing.

We do end up with something like: The bible is inerrant except where it later says it isn't. Or: everything in the bible is true, except those parts of which (we think that) the bible says it isn't true. That effectively scuttles the truth value of the bible, because we now have to rely on our interpretations of some parts of the bible in order to figure out if others are still valid. I would suggest that it were much better to just scuttle the whole OT and just take the NT as god's word.
