Old Testament again ... may I suggest you spend your time and effort with the New Testament since you are obvioulsy not Jewish and need to udnerstand hwo things changed with the birth and death of Christ.

Really? So the Ten Commandments are null and void now to a practicing Christian?

Now that you bring up the Ten Commandments, even though we were discussing Jewish theocracy, the Ten Commandments apply to Christians in the New Testament as well as Jews. The only difference is that Christ came, lead a perfect life and was the sacrificial lamb for those who are unable to keep the Ten Commandments. We still have to strive to do our best but we are not under the Law and it's associated punishments - Jews or Christians. Of course belief in Him is required.

Just curious, have you reached perfection yet?
