THERE ARE NO RULES IN CHRISTIANITY. Christ died to free us/His followers from the law of sin. The Law only now serves one purpose. to point to sin in the unbelievers life, and therefore push that person to repent of their sin. Once we do we become righteous, because Christ is righteous.
Again that is what the primary subject matter is in the book of Romans.
It appears understanding entails agreeing that you have the definitive interpretation of the bible. Makes me wonder how many actually "understand"...

Laws in the modern west are consented to. The laws of the bible reflect the real kingdoms of antiquity, and back then, even in polytheism, humans lived under ruling families who did not need their subject's permission to rule over them. Not my baggage you don't want to accept that. That book does not reflect modern society, it was written for the societies of that time.
When I say "THERE ARE NO RULES IN CHRISTIANTY" What does that mean?
As with most of your posts, I haven't the faintest.
