This is contradicted by scripture. The Torah indicates particular punishments for particular violations of the Law.

You are confusing the human perspective with the divine perspective.

I believe that the Torah is the "divine perspective".

Paul clearly says that one violation is a violation of all....it makes one a lawbreaker before God.

It shouldn't surprise you to learn that Paul's opinion on the matter is irrelevent to me.

But the bible is clear that these things don't fix the CONDITION.

So when God says someone is forgiven, they aren't really forgiven?

It does surprise me. What's wrong with Paul's opinion? Why is it irrelevant to you?

Someone says you are Jewish.

You can answer a question for me. WHY and HOW (process) do you think killing an animal makes someone's shoplifting charge go away in the eyes of God? (God said so, isn't good enough.)
