Oh, Drich! I completely forgot that you shrugged off the fact that I pointed out how you are cherry-picking from the Bible. Let me re-address this real quick-like.
How do you know which commandments from the OT are ones to keep and which ones should now be ignored? A "Thou shalt not" and a "Thou shalt" shouldn't make a whole lot of difference: should we no longer multiply and replenish the earth? Many Christians argue on this point. Should the Sabbath day still be observed in deference to god's day of rest (which makes no sense that an omnipotent being had to take a day off)? Should it have been moved from Saturday to Sunday? Does it matter which day it is, or does it really matter to have it at all? The Christians who came after Christ took a shit all over circumcision, so were they right to also discard the Abrahamic covenant, which was never supposed to end?
On a different note, but still in the realm of what we were discussing:
If all sex outside of marriage is so bad, why stress the importance that gays not be with each other (specifically gay men; there is hardly a reference that calls out two women for having sex...this is probably due to how much fun the old patriarchs had with Polygamy)? If someone gets married outside of a religious setting, is it still valid in god's eyes? My marriage vows had nothing to do with god's supposed will, so am I doomed anyway, or am I saved on a technicality?
You may think of some of these questions as moving the goalposts, but that's a cop out from this discussion. Points are conceded, and some are unresolved. You should know better. We're essentially still playing on the same field, but new matches have arisen.
