An interesting question, especially in light of the fact that the Old 
Testament that Protestants have been using for the last 500 years is based 
on the post-Christian Jewish Bible, and not on the Christian Bible that 
had been in use for the 1500 years prior to the Reformation.

Beats me.  All I know is that the early Christians died for their faith 
rather than make sacrifices to Caesar.
