That is what/Why Christ died on the cross. To free us from the law.

Most of you do not understand the fundementals of redemption and only see Sin and righteousness. Christ died to provide a third option and that is redemption.

One could argue it is indeed a book of law. a law we will all be judged by at some point.
O.k., I'm still trying to understand how you see this.
What do you see as God's law? Most of the Bible's laws are impossible to obey, because there is no Jewish temple. You aren't a Messianic Jew as far as I know. If we take Jesus' "love thy neighbor" as the guide, then how do we condemn homosexual sex? After all, homosexual sex is not hurting anybody, and it is actually an expression of love - just like heterosexual sex. The only justification for condemning homosexuality is some Bible verses. The Jews traditionally condemned homosexuality, but they also tried to follow all the dietary rules, etc.
It seems like your approach is:
- follow the Bible laws when it doesn't conflict with your own morals
- break the Bible laws and repent when morally necessary
- follow your own morals when no Bible law applies
Is that a good summary? Of course we also need to decide which Bible laws apply to Christians, so we know when to repent.
