What does that have to do with the answer I gave?

Quote:Not true. all of the OT applies. If it didn't my salvation from the law would be invalid.

If you do not understand what that means ask a question do not assume.

Well, explain it then. My understanding is that you believe the old testament is literally true, but that the laws and exhortations therein don't apply to you, that they're instructions to some other group of people. Is that right?

Again they very much all apply IF my righteousness was based off of the law. As it is (for all bible believing Christians) our 'righteousness' is based off of grace, apart from the law. Where the Christian faith is stilled tied to the ot law, is that the atonement that provides the grace we all share, is an orginal caveat that the OT law allows for.

In other words, the law sets a nearly impossible standard, then Christ comes along raises that standard to include sin to cover your very thoughts, so no one can claim righteousness through the law. Fortunately in that law we have a way to atone for the sin/violations we commit. In the OT the law did this through the blood sacrifice of animals. In the NT Christ was that sacrifice that nullified sins. Thus separating righteousness and the law. In the Old Testament righteousness could only be found through trying to up hold the law, and what ever sins you committed we're covered by the blood of animals. In the New Testament Christ makes the ultimate sacerfice that takes the way the sins of the whole world. Freeing us for having to strictly live by the law given to Moses.

If we love God with all of our being and accept the sacerfice Christ made on the cross, and forgive others as Christ forgives us, our sins will be forgiven making us righteous and blameless before God.
