The law/commandments are to remain forever
- Matt 5:17-19, Luke 16:17
The law has ended
- Romans 7:4, Eph 2:15, Col 2:14
In my opinion, this may be the biggest fault in the entire bible.
To my reasoning, if we say that Matt and Luke are true, all that Old Testament bullshit stands (such as being stoned to death for working on Sunday, Reverend- oh yeah! you are, uh, circumsized aren't you? and so on. Just read the OT, it'll kill ya!... that is unless Paul is right, in which case you can ignore it).
But if the old testament views are no longer valid, the very prophecies that christians claim validate the messiah risk being thrown out with the bathwater.
Paradoxical ain't it?
