Maybe there is alittle more to the Law than what you currently understand.
As I told missie in the book above:
The Law can be divided into Two Parts. The "thou shalts" and the atonement one can offer when one falls short of a 'Thou shalt."
Christ is a permenant method of 'atonement.' for falling short of the list of Thou shalts.
when one accepts Christ's atonement, his/her Righteousness/morality is no longer bound to adhearing to the law. It is found in Christ's gift.

Uh, no. Just ask any of the old timers. I approve of and enjoy how off putting things like OT slavery, and smashing babies against the rocks are for you guys to try and reconcile. I by nature am a hell fire and brimestoner, it's just the bible does not teach that as most of you understand it.

And yet somehow....someway.....they made it into the christian bible put together by...christians.
You christian need a new version NIV redacted.......black out all the stuff you dont use anymore.
It will end up looking like a pile of declassifed NSA files......
.
Its all there so 'we' would be able to identify sin, and subsequently repent of it.
