Homosexuality is a sin? Well, Xtians, what about these other 76 things?

How can one sin apart from God's law when God's law defines what is sin?

(May 21, 2013 at 6:44 pm)Drich Wrote: Read it again. Mat 5 says one must seek a righteousness that surpasses that of the pharasees. The righteousness of the Pharasees is based on the Law. If Christ came to complete the Law then it is through His completeing the Law that Righteousness must be sought.

What's the point, if the only requirement which really matters is atonement?

Quote:Now ask yourself what did Christ do? He died to atone for sin. Which does not abolish the Law, as the law makes a provision for atonement. To 'Complete the Law' in His act is to Make a sin sacrifice so complete no other sacrifice is needed. In turn it offers a righteousness greater than the righteousness the pharasees boasted of. (Based on their best efforts to follow the law)

If this is true, then there is, and never was, any point to the law in the first place. You can do all sorts of terrible things, as long as you atone properly, you'll be okay. That does not make sense, especially when Jesus reminds everybody that sticking to the law is indeed taken into consideration when determining who gets into heaven.

Quote:If you are going to quote the passage in Mt 5 you can not cherry pick you must account for everything stated not just the section that pertains to your specific argument.

The passage either means what it says or it doesn't. If it's contradictory, that's the fault of the Bible's authors, not mine, and I have no interest in twisting half of the Bible around so this verse is consistent with the rest.
