Debunking atheists on christians not following the law of moses

[Ben Davis]

I always hear. Oh jeez, the old testament is so horrible.

Giving virgin single woman to a rapist in exchange for some fees.
Or
Stoning people. Oh no the horrors
Atheists are the ones who always likes to go into old testament and ask why dont christians follow that.
Its kinda funny seeing how ignorant atheists are. That they dont know what christians practice.
Well the fact is that christians are told not to obey the law of moses clearly in the new testament. So even if Jesus said he came not to destroy the law but fulfill it. Thats more in a past present. When he died it was fulfilled. So the law of moses is hereby numb.

Here is proof why christians dont practice animal sacrifice or any of the jewish laws handed by moses
The only thing that does apply is "The Ten Commandments" which is spoken humbly about in the new testament. So that is one exception.

So you might attack them for not following the all so lovely "Graven image" but they might wuss off it with saying "Idols". And you can also attack them for giving women rights. The new testament obviously want women to not teach in public. Oh and slavery

"For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace." Romans 6:14.

Christians are ”dead to the law." Romans 7:4.

"If ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law" Galatians 5:18.

Christians are "delivered from the law." Romans 7:6.

"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster “ [the law]. Galatians 3:24-25.

For Christians, the Law is "that which is done away." II Corinthians 3:11.

For Christians, the Law is "that which is abolished." II Corinthians 3:13.

For Christians, Jesus, on the Cross, was "blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us." Colossians 2:14.

For Christians, the Law is taken "out of the way" and nailed "to his cross." Colossians 2:14.

"When God speaks of a new [covenant or agreement], He makes the first one obsolete (out of use). And what is obsolete (out of use and annulled because of age) is ripe for disappearance and to be dispensed with altogether." Hebrews 8:13, The Amplified Version

"And after that he said, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. Thus he put an end to the first in order to establish the second." Hebrews 10:9, Lamsa Translation

Wrong, I'm afraid. There are many different categories of Law. According to Jewish mythology, the Messiah would fulfill the Sacrificial Law: he would create the New Covenant whereby people would be forgiven for Original Sin and freed from the automatic punishment. There are no other types of Law to be 'fulfilled'. So although the Messiah might have some new instructions from God, change or add to specific aspects of the Moral Law, the Penal law, the Dietary Law or any other type of existent law which represented how people were to behave, they would remain commands from God which must be adhered to.

Christians hold that Jesus was the Messiah, therefore fulfilling the Sacrificial Law and heralding the New Covenant. For items pertaining to the rest of Law, we need to look at what he said about each item in context; the context being the category of Law that the item in question was held at the time that Jesus was referring to it. The 'jot or tittle' passage from Matthew is regarded as referring to the Categories of non-Sacrificial Law; none of those would cease to exist. Jesus did make some changes to Moral & Penal Law (e.g. "He who is without sin, cast the first stone", "Turn the other cheek", "Judge not, lest ye be judged", "Do unto others...") however he didn't change any of the laws regarding slavery (which fall under Penal Law) neither did he make any changes to Marriage Law or Dietary Law (Christians should still avoid pork, shellfish etc.).
