Drich Wrote: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.

I don't understand why you think Christ's sacrifice means that you don't have to live strictly by the law. Matthew 5:19 very clearly says otherwise:

"Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

Perhaps you can fail to follow those laws and still get to heaven, but it is painfully clear that those who follow those old laws closest to the letter get the choicest reservations in Heaven. Therefore, you are expected to do your very best to follow those psychotic old laws, and the judgement you receive will take into account how weill you adhered to them. So, those Christians who are not stoning gays to death or killing disobedient children or adulterers will have almost as much to answer for as we apostates and heathens.
