Does that mean that Christians do not have to follow these laws or do they just have no accountability when they break them?(July 3, 2015 at 11:56 pm)Jenny A Wrote: Sorry, but I'd much prefer a rewrite of your post to a google search.
But I do have some questions about Jesus fulfilling the OT law we are unable to fulfill. The OT laws are meticulously detailed, but certainly could be followed. Those that Jesus proposes in the Sermon on the Mount could not really be fulfilled by anyone as they involves having no bad thoughts. And as Jesus appears just a touch snappish from time to time, and he questions god on Gethsemane it doesn't appear that Jesus manages it himself.
In any case, it's the easiest laws to fulfill that seem to be the one's Christians have decided not to follow: not eating cheese burgers, pork; or shell fish; or not lighting fires on Saturday; or sacrificing doves to stay ritually clean; or circumcision; or not touching the ark of the covenant. Heck, even I can avoid touching the ark.
Have you ever stolen anything? Lied about someone? Coveted something that somebody else owned? If you've done any of things once, you've broken the old testament law. I'd also hate having to go out and get animals, slaughter them, and pour their blood over the ark of the covenant, which we don't even have anymore by the way.
