[QUOTE]Originally posted by Saiyanman Benjita: [QB] Not necessarily. JC has stated that the Old Testament laws are still effective (No specifics, but generally). However the price of these sins (In OT times, was a sacrifice of some sort, yours or animals), has been paid with his blood. This is the basis for the Christian religion. Obviously we follow him, because he did walk the walk, showing people it is possible to live without sinning. He also told sinners that they are forgiven and should sin no more. Obviously the forgiveness of the New Covenant (Jesus Christ) does not exclude the sins of the Old Covenant, but it forgives the sins with a different price (The repentance, and salvation through Jesus Christ). As for the Jewish Nation, if they believe in the Torah (OT) and shun the NT, then they should be still abiding by the OT Rule. It's like the real life punishment of sins. In Arab Nations, they used to cut off the hand of the thief, yet how many cases of that do you see today? It is still a sin, but the price has changed. Gunfights were rampant 150 years ago to settle disputes, but today, every dispute can be settled in a court and it is illegal to settle with a duel. In this example, the OT Sins still apply, yet the NT covenant is used to pay for the price of the sins. This is why Christian Churches still display the Ten Commandments. Elsewise, what rules would we have? [/QB][/QUOTE]
