Colin, I too still think the OT is huge, just like you do. I don't count it out, or try and discount it. But, I see God dealing with mankind in a progressive way. There is a difference between pre Messiah times, and Post Messiah times. As far as Christianity goes, I believe the NT has more of a DIRECT bearing on us the OT does. We see the fruition and correct application of the OT. We see it very much in principle, as opposed to strict legalistic practice. Again, this doesn't count the OT out, it's just that the two volumes are different and we can't approach them in the exact same way. I think people that do head down the road of Error. That's me though. Take care, SUEDE |

Suede, Legalism is a form of fetishism, but the OT faith-giants were as non-legalistic as you could get. I think of David eating the "shewbread" (1 Sam 21.6) as cited also by Jesus (Matt 12.4), in His idictment of Pharisitic legalism. For David the Moral Law (not the Levitical laws) was "...a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." (Psalm 119:105) Colin |

colin, "...the OT faith-giants were as non-legalistic as you could get." They sure were. "I think of David eating the "shewbread" (1 Sam 21.6) as cited also by Jesus (Matt 12.4), in His idictment of Pharisitic legalism." Yes, excellent, aside from Jesus out right scolding of them. "For David the Moral Law (not the Levitical laws) was "...a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." (Psalm 119:105)" Yes, Moral is fine, Levitical law, no. Take care, SUEDE |

Suede, If a Christian commits murder or adultery or theft or idolatry or violates any of the Moral Laws, would Peter, Paul or James view these acts as a threat to his salvation? Colin |

Colin, No, and certianly not Paul. Christians are to keep these moral laws, but we are humans, sinners by nature and many will slip. Are they unsaved? No. Is God's grace so weak that he can not save a murderer, or a adulteress? SUEDE |

Suede, God's grace saves, you bet (it saved Saul of Tarsus); but would Paul, James, John or Peter say that a lying, thieving, murderous Christian can enter heaven unrepentant? Colin |

Colin, Well, they certianly wouldn't recommend it! But chances are we will all die with unrepentanted sins. God knows though. We in no way can limit God's grace. Take care, SUEDE |
