What I often have trouble grasping is the huge contradictions in christian law/beliefs. Let me cite a few for you now.
​
1. Old - Honour your mother and father / New - Anyone who does not hate his own mother and father is not worthy of me.
2. Old - An eye for an eye / New - If someone strikes you on one cheek turn to him the other also.
3. Old - Israelites are the chosen people / New - Paul preaches and converts many gentiles.
4. Old Paul is a murderer / New Paul suffers beatings, imprisonment and shipwreck.

Re: What Are the Christian Laws?
By law, I mean something legally binding and enforced by a controlling authority.
​
I am not sure that I understand what you mean. Aren't those christian laws that I stated?
​
Legally binding?? You mean like a parking ticket offence?
Christian laws are not legally binding as far as I understand it. Only government laws are legally binding.
