Christians! Now which Mosaic Laws are still in force for you?

Muffled

Jesus in me
I believe that would not be necessary. A man can go about his own business. To be chardged with a business means someone is requiring something outside of his business like the draft or jury duty. Our country is not a theocracy so it doesn't have to go by this law.

Except when it suits them to cherry pick and rail, moralize and legislate against anything same sex. And if one were even to invoke Paul in Romans and Corinthians, he’s basing his diatribes on the Mosaic Law. And given that Jesus himself said that “until Heaven and Earth pass away not one jot or tittle would be stricken from the Law”. Seems many Christians want their cake and eat it too when they should be on diets.

I believe I quote laws Jesus wants me to quote so it isn't cherry picking.

I believe it does if Jesus wants it to apply.
Christ was a Jew, under the first covenant. He kept the law of the first covenant perfectly. The new covenant did not exist till the resurrection.

Christians are under this covenant, not the first.

More like terrifying.
Evolution has made monsters and sweethearts out of life.
The virus or the bacteria are great examples.
They can help us or they can rip us up.

What do your examples have to do with humans and an inherent knowledge of right and wrong ?

Well, in my experience humans do not have an inherent knowledge of right and wrong.
For instance, folks like Stalin, Hitler, Pol pot and bon Laden all thought they were right.
We are just brighter than most animals, but not much... Look how we've messed up the planet.

Actually there are 613 Commandments, but according to Jesus the Two Commandments (love of God & neighbor) cover the essence of all of them.

I already covered this in post #197:

"Christianity is basically a pick and choose whatever one wants to believe in from the bible. Usually dictated by whatever their particular priest/pastor tells them to blindly believe in."

Sin is breaking God's law for you. If you do the right thing for the wrong reason, you haven't sinned. You maybe aren't the most virtuous guy around, but you haven't sinned.

So you believe that "natural law" binds all Gentiles. Well and good.

Sin=

Self
Inflicted
Nonsense
