The division between OT worship and NT worship

[Drich]

Sounds like the authors assume that faith and grace would lead to a virtuous life, but I don't see why that means that the moral law remains.

It doesn't for the believer. (Romans 7 The whole chapter)http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...ersion=ERV

I didn't ask you what the effects of faith and grace would be and what that meant for a believers life (a hilarious subject in and of itself). I asked you why the moral law remained.

Romans 7:4 In the same way, my brothers and sisters, your old selves died and you became free from the law through the body of Christ. Now you belong to someone else. You belong to the one who was raised from death. We belong to Christ so that we can be used in service to God. 5 In the past we were ruled by our sinful selves. The law made us want to do sinful things. And those sinful desires controlled our bodies, so that what we did only brought us spiritual death. 6 In the past the law held us as prisoners, but our old selves died, and we were made free from the law. So now we serve God in a new way, not in the old way, with the written rules. Now we serve God in the new way, with the Spirit. 7 You might think I am saying that sin and the law are the same. That is not true. But the law was the only way I could learn what sin means. I would never have known it is wrong to want something that is not mine. But the law said, “You must not want what belongs to someone else.”

Don't just tell us it's "spelled out", chapter and verse..lol.

always when ever any of you ask lest I be accused of "preaching"

So to make a long story short, y'all have a disagreement on that one?

Hence the split between legalist and those who follow the Biblical model of Grace.
