[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 6028469, member: 24302"] The New Testament is about Christ's fulfillment of prophecy, his death doing away with the Old Law, and the establishment of his Church. We have freedom in Christ that we wouldn't have under the Old Law which was given to the Jews. There is nothing in the Old Law that we need that isn't covered by the New Law. But there is plenty that you should be thankful isn't required of us. It was known as the "law of sin and death." Under it you could be put to death for a number of offenses. You're an advocate for homosexuals. Under the Old Law if two men were found having sex they were to be put to death. That's not my interpretation. It not only says it but that was practiced. You can't get around that by saying that was some man's misinterpretation of what God wanted. Their law was given to them by Moses and the prophets who did speak directly with God. As Christians we learn from the Old Law. We learn about the lineage of Jesus. But we aren't bound by anything that isn't given to us in the New Testament. [/QUOTE]
