Whiskey tango... Christians have real consequences here on earth too. We have a get out of
hell free card, not a get out of
jail free card.
Quote:We've seen that Gentiles don't want the rules to apply to them. I see nothing else that says the rules don't apply to Gentiles.
Did you see the Exodus and Acts passages I gave?
Quote:Obviously, you don't for the majority of them. That should concern you when you are explicitly told to uphold even the least of them.
I wasn't told that. Jesus said he came only for the lost sheep of Israel. I'm not of Israel.
Quote:Again, I see nothing which supports this assertion, other than the desire of Gentiles to be free from God's rules.
Again, see the Exodus and Acts passages I gave. Seriously, Acts 15 specifically addresses the question of whether Gentile Christians were subject to the Mosaic law, and the determination was that they're not. You and Bad Wolf can put blinders on and pretend it's not there, but it is there.
