Didasko said:The strict laws were set up to show us our weakness. We cannot live by the old testament laws. They are there to show us the need for God's grace. If the laws are easy...no need for grace. We are imperfect sinners and the strict laws of the OT show us that. The new covenant through Christ is a gift of grace from God. His chosen way of showing mercy to us.
It really makes me wonder though how someone who claims to have been a Christian would not understand this part of God's plan and the need for forgiveness...
Your right though DV God could have chosen a different way if he had wanted to...he is God after all.
So since we need not live by old testament laws does that mean I can covet my neighbors wife, commit adultery with her against him and then kill them both? Maybe I'll just stick with those 10 laws that God laid down for us.
