People who do not understand that this is a separate covenant with the Hebrew people get the theology wrong, which is sad, because there is a right line of reasoning to gentile nations and it comes from the Noahide law.
The old covenant, as clearly spelled out in the book of Hebrews, is “obsolete and aging and will soon disappear.” I didn’t put that in the bible. I can’t take it out.
Thank you for the courteous reply, which, however, smells to me of wishful thinking. Inasmuch as Jesus said He came to fulfil, not abolish, the law, fundamentalist Christians should feel bound by the law except in cases where Jesus enunciated a new principle, eg the Sabbath being made for man and not the other way around. However, I’m a non-fundamentalist Christian, so I eat pork and would jail homosexuals who publicly act lewdly or publicly advocate for open profession of homosexuality but would leave in peace those who kept their perversion private. Execution is and should be out.
