Quote the law please so that there is no confusion.
Give me a break.
Sorry. I didn’t realize this request was too difficult for you.
Also, please excuse me for thinking that you wanted to know which laws of the Bible still apply today, and in what manner. These statements of yours had me confused:
“Well, than, I'll repeat the question. How can I tell which are the "ceremonial" parts of the Old Testement, which I am allowed to regard as invalid and disregard? Is it an algorithm? Is it a list? I'd like the follow the Law, and be moral--how do you expect me to do that if I don't know what it is?” –donh, post 1017.
“Ok, but I still have no useful understanding about what the Law actually is. I cannot find the detailed lists that put some of the Old Testement under the aegis of "ceremonial" law, and some not. Is there a version of the bible that puts the "ceremonial" (ie, invalid) parts of the bible in, say, green, so that I can know to ignore them?” –donh, post 927.
"Are the 10 commandments rules a christian must consult, or are they not? Can I kill my father if it satisfies the Golden Rule? Is the Golden Rule the only moral law? Is it the moral law at all? Does Hebrews provide me a written alternative list to the 10 commandments? Why is the rule against letting witches live a "ceremonial" law, and the rule about honoring your mother and father is not? If it is not--I'm still not very clear." –donh, post 864.
But then I remembered this statement of yours…:
“Why can't both parties be an hallucination of a non-existent entity? Because you say so? If you can hallucinate me into being an entity that exists only in someone else's mind, I can certainly hallucinate an entity in an alternative universe that's doing the hallucinating.” -donh, post 556.
…and it hit me…the law against eating pigs was an hallucination of that noted anti-semite: Miss Piggy, Queen of the (not) Green Letter Bible.

Answer: Whatever donh says it is.
Answer: Whatever donh says it is.
Pick a question, and answer it. Did lord Nelson violate the adultery commandment even though all concerned wanted him to, thus putting the Golden Rule at loggerheads with the adultery commandment? Do the 10 commandments fade before the golden rule just like the witch-stoning Law? does that make the 10 commandments "ceremonial"? If not, why not? Why is the word of God binding regarding adultery, but not, regarding the eating of pigs? >p>
This is irrelevant to the current discussion. Unless, you'd like to suggest that you think God is an hallucination, and therefore, His Laws are hallucinations I need not take seriously.
Answer: Whatever donh says it is.
How may orthodox jews have I ordered torn limb from limb in the marketplace? How many orthodox jews have I condemned to eternal damnation because they wanted to practice the faith of their fathers?
I don't believe christians can be considered qualified to judge on this subject, until we make some effort at moral remedy for the poisoneous effects of our central doctrine of salvation.
