Hi Straggler,

Are you saying that the commandments only apply to Jews?
Are you saying that if a non-Jew commits adultery that this is not an immoral act according to the bible?
Can you clarify as I am sure that this is not what you are saying despite how it sounds.
Anything written in the law is a sin (abomination in the eyes of God).
But the law was given to the descendants of Abraham through the lineage of Isaac.
It was not given to the descendants of Ishmael.
Neither was it given to other inhabitants of the earth at that time or to their descendants.
The Law gives us the knowledge of sin, for without the law how would we know what was sin?
Romams 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
The Law was given to keep a group of people pure for the Messiah to come into the world through.
And yes they the Law was to be obeyed to the jot and tittle.
But the Law was not given to any other group to practice.
They had a ceremony where a person could become a proselyte in OT days, and still do.
One of the biggest problems with people understanding the Bible is they believe everything written was to them.
Somethings are written to everyone in general.
Somethings are written a particular group of people.
Somethings were written to individuals.
So everything in the Bible does not apply to everybody in the world.
God Bless,
