Open debate: What does Jesus teach?
RE: Open debate: What does Jesus teach?
You've given me a theological answer which you didn't (or couldn't) back up with references. Jesus never once says not to follow a law of Moses and giving wild interpretations of "until all is accomplished" and "I have come to fulfill the Law" doesn't alter this. When Jesus is seen healing on the Sabbath he doesn't say that the Sabbath doesn't apply anymore instead he quotes a passage where David eats holy bread that is "unlawful" for him to eat, ordinarily, citing that he was in a "time of need". It wasn't until 50 AD when the early Christians decided to change the requirements to follow the law that this message was altered.

Jesus quotes Leviticus 19 "Love your neighbour as yourself" - in the very same breath God decrees "If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death." That's not a ceremonial law it's a moral law. Even in 50 AD the early Christians were not abandoning that law, they were just abandoning the ceremonial stuff like sacrifices, keeping the Sabbath and circumcision.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
