[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Um... bit of a theological correction here. By all means, keep on the topic. I like where it's going. But I don't want this misconception to spread. The OT and the NT are not a single entity, nor are they two seperate entities. They are 66 distinct entities, grouped according to their relations to each other. The OT provides the context for the NT, but it is not necessary to grasp the concepts put forth: "God did this for you, so you'd have a shot at eternal life. Therefore, you owe him." Further, Christians don't follow the OT law (except where there's overlap with ours) because it doesn't apply to us. The Old Testament was a contract between the Jews and God, which God fulfilled when He sent Christ. It's over and done with, and a new contract has taken its place. Thus, "Old Testament". Old, over, finished, complete, no longer applicable. It doesn't have to be stated outright that this is the case, because it's the underlying nature of the situation. Although it is stated somewhere in Paul's letters, I believe, that we are no longer under the law, so the entire point is moot. :) I'll shut up now. Consider yourselves enlightened. What? Yes, you.
