What do you mean?
I mean that his distinction between grace and the law permits Christians to simply ignore vast stretches of the Hebrew scriptures as not applicable to them, especially if it presents embarrassing ethical problems for the believer. According to your divinely inspired book, homosexuals should be killed. But that doesn't apply to Christians . . . that's a Jewish rule. But the 10 Commandments? Nothing too embarrassing there, so you'll adopt it despite its being a law given to the Jews.
Etc., etc.
