Quote:An example of the moral law would be the Ten Commandments. These laws reflect what is
right and wrong according to God, and should ideally be obeyed. The cultural law was
intended to govern that specific society at that specific time. These had to do with
punishments for crime and minute details of life applicable only to that culture and
time period. Destroying evil since it was harder for sin to be forgiven before Christ.
It should not be a big secret that half of those commandments have been in place before a Torah, Christian Bible or Qu’ran….This was carved in by man, and by men who believed in many gods. There “Thou’s” was put in place for government and social, not a god.
Quote:The ritual law was intended to point toward the coming Messiah. Once the Messiah
Himself appeared, these laws no longer served a purpose. An example would be the
animal sacrifices for the temporary remission of sins. Now that Jesus has been a
permanent sacrifice for our sins, we don't need to continue any longer in practices
intended to foreshadow that which has now come.
You are only half correct….That would be the case for his sacrifice; however before his death he made it very clear that humanity is to still follow the laws and commandments of Moses. And this was more than proven/justified by Jesus stating his acceptance of slavery, hate, and punishments that the O.T. declared more than once throughout it.
Also a couple of point outs:
The argument people have is more than just with the N.T. Keep in mind that in the original text of the O.T. from the Christian Bible and the Torah…. “Hell” was never mentioned… The word “Grave” was in place of what was later changed to “Hell”…. That one mistranslation changed the course of history in a very deadly way.....
Number two: Half of my family is Muslim and I have read the Christian Bible, along with, the Qur’an… I never said they were following the O.T. "Exactly", but that it was almost the O.T. with a bit of their own made up faith mixed in. Keep in mind, I don’t believe in either one, but I felt as if I was reading the same two books but with different outcomes on certain circumstances, along with, some new and old names involved. And of course they have their own stories etc....
I asked you before, but never really answered…. Do you believe that 90% of this world will be in hell?? Because as it stands, that’s a pretty close educated guess in percentage that will not be skipping down the golden road and entering in the pearly gates in the end. (By the Bible standards that is)….
Intelligence is the only true moral guide...
