If you had more respect for orthodox theology you would know that the early Jews did continue to follow the laws of the Jews and that Paul himself supported them because their conscience was bound up in those laws.
If you mean the early christians then yes i realize this, i said this faith. christianity was a jewish sect until the scizm between paul and peter over this, paul wanted to include the gentiles, thus would the jewish laws would have to be removed and peter wanted to include them because jesus taught they were useful. by the way i trust history of people who know about the christians and the jewish people during that time over pauline dogma.
And the understanding that the death of Christ paid every last jot and tittle of the Law Paul knew through knowing God, but only true believers are privileged to understand this. Obviously debunkers will never get it.
and the jews as well faith? pauline beliefs sure are depressing
About homosexuality in the ten commandments see what I wrote to Creavolution above.
as i said before where is it faith, it says adultery, do you know the meaning of the word?
Adultery - Wikipedia it must be an unknown 11th commandment "thou shalt not have teh butt sex"
I don't think you have a clue what the term "ceremonial" even means. A Jew would be an idiot not to recognize that that term is descriptive.
sorry i must have read it wrong, and took it to mean something else
Loving God and loving neighbor are the two tablets of the moral law, as Jesus said. You want to throw out the first tablet.
i sohuld have restated that, the hewbrews didn't care if gentiles followed the first 3 laws, this has nothing to do with jesus
