The video explains why. this is an answer you guys helped me develop over time. the short answer is the law contain the rules of atonement and when Christ full filled the law atonement requirements were perpetually being filled as well for the believers only.
Which is where the part the law never goes away comes in. it is to judge all non believers. in it's completed form the law extends to thought. so to think about breaking the law is the same as doing
before God which pushes an honest man to say he can never live a perfect enough life therefore need atonement Christ offers.
If that old book constituted morality, blacks would still be slaves and women would still not be allowed to vote.
You really have never, in the time you have been here, ever been willing to open your eyes and see the contradictions in that book. OT and NT conflict, and even in the Gospels between authors, even they conflict.
But don't think I am solely picking on Christianity. Sunnis and Shiites don't agree on the interpretation of the Koran. You also cant get a Tibet Buddhist to agree with a Chinese Buddhist or Japanese Shinto Buddhist.
There are also liberal Jews and conservative Jews. There are liberal Hindus and Conservative Hindus.
I could care less what the claims of ancient mythology make, regardless of nation or religion. What matters to me is how an individual behaves, not what they claim.
