"There is much of the ‘Law’ in the OT that is no longer applicable, due to the sacrifeice of Jesus on the Cross."

Exactly my point. Because Scripture is incomplete God guides us both through Scripture and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit must guide us in our understanding of Scripture. The hand of the Holy Spirit works through the teachings and traditions of the Roman Catholic Church.

However, when anyone suggests that this necessary act of guidance has been exercised by the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church (of course AFTER they finished amalgamating Scripture into the Bible) they are excoriated by the YEC crowd here on FR because the Roman Catholic Church has stated that science and the bible are not incompatible and that Genesis was not intended by God to be a science test book. Perhaps the YEC crowd has determined that the Holy Spirit only works through them when guiding interpretation of Scripture and God's will.

Natural Law, the words ‘no longer applicable’ do not equate with ‘incomplete’.

The Bible is EXACTLY as complete as God intended for us to have. He is not fallible.

The Roman Catholic Church is a different subject, it has teachings I disagree with. My Savior is Christ, not a church, not a priest, not a Pope, certainly not Mary.

IF the Roman Catholic Church accepts ideas counter to the Bible, then, IMHO, they are Wrong. Sorry if that upsets you.
If you can point at the writings you call ‘Scripture’ and then say they are ‘wrong’ or ‘incomplete’, then you are just as wrong. Sorry if that upsets you.
