I then challenge them to show me where in the book it says that these laws "don't apply any more".
I also ask, "Well, if these laws don't apply any more, then why are they still in the book?" (After all, when we repeal laws they are removed from the law books!)
I have yet to receive a reasonable answer to either question.
Ditto: History Thor history. Does this make sense to you, a historical account of the Jewish nation.

I'm not arguing a point I'm asking questions, then there might be a discussion arise about the answers given. Why would you expect christians to differ on certain things. I see evolutionist argue over their interpertation of bones and I see that as persons trying to get at a reasonable explanation. Historians continuely argue over dates and evidence, why should christians be any different. I know you like to believe we have all been brain washed to see everything the same way, surprise we do not. Because God is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent we have a difficult time in understanding many aspects of Him so there will be differences in our views, this in no way means we are trying to tear each other down, we are trying to understand who He is. I have come to a better understanding of God from other denominations, I,m Southern Baptist and some of my views of God differ greatly from my denomination, that doesn't mean I've discovered something they have not because I could be wrong and I will keep searching until I come into His presence and then I will see clearly.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
