Mister Emu said:
You have been told multiple times, MORALS stay LAWS do not , MORALS stay LAWs go.
I have been told two different things multiple times and the only question I asked still remains unanswered.
You tell me that all the moral parts of all the laws still hold true but that the punishment for them no longer applies.
Scott tells me there is a difference between the laws, that some are moral and some are ceremonial yet
NO ONE has as of yet told me by which standards these are separated.
Under your (Mr. Emus) definition it is immoral for me to....
Become a Wiccan .........................Lev 20:27
Kiss my wife if she`s on her period....Lev 15:9
Cut my hair or trim my beard............Lev 19:27
But it is moral for a Jew to...
Buy slaves as long as they are gentile....Lev 25:44
Unless Jesus made a statement contradicting these laws they still hold true in a moral sense.
Is that what you`re telling me?
I would ask you why the "Morals stay but the law goes"?
Does the Bible (NT) specifically say this somewhere?
Where did you learn that the "Morals stay but the law goes"?
Then grasp it, there is a difference between morals and laws, I explained it in the simpleist terms
I think I do grasp your idea but I still think it`s immoral for a Jew to buy slaves
If we kept to the law about homosexuals, well we'd all be killers. We do not keep the law, we keep the moral.
Then you disagree with the movement among the religious right to amend the constitution to make it
LAWFULto discriminate against homosexuals?
Granted the proposed law isn`t as harsh as death but it`s still pretty harsh to deny someone the opportunity to raise a family within the deep commitment that marriage provides.
It`s still pretty harsh to deny a person access to a loved partner who has been hospitalized.
It`s still pretty harsh to deny a person the right to carry out the wishes of a loved partner after the partners death.
It`s still pretty harsh to deny equitable medical coverage to a loved partner because of their sex.
I don`t think I have it yet.
Because if all this is right then you believe it is immoral to deny Jews the right to own slaves.
I don`t think you feel that way.
As for Scotts definition someone still needs to supply a standard by which each of Gods law are deemed "Moral" or "Ceremonial" for them to have any concrete meaning.
This is my unanswered question.
