A basic Christian apologist position. It came from Paul of Tarsus. He invented the religion called Christianity more than any other single person,including the poor little Jewish teacher who got himself crucified.(according to Christian mythology)
As I've mentioned today; Jesus admonished his followers to KEEP THE LAW.(Matthew 5 17-19)
Of course the predictable apologist response is that section doesn't actually mean what it says.
One needs to remember that the Bible is the revealed word of God and means exactly what it says,except when it doesn't.
