Hi guys,
It seems whenever I present some typical disgusting law from the Old Testament (rape, slaves, etc.) to a Christian, they disregard it because it is Old Testament.
What justifies Christians to disregard the Old Testament? If Jesus absolved the laws commanded to the Israelites and replaced them with faith, and no real laws were handed down in the New Testament, where do these moderate Christians get their so called Objective Morality from?
I'm always stumped by this argument and would appreciate a thoughtful answer from both Christians and non-Christians.
Thanks!
