[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christians are bound by NEW TESTAMENT LAW, not OLD TESTAMENT.

Shellfish, stoning, and shrimp laws are OT laws.

Homosexuality is NT law.

Jesus also said “he who is without sin cast the first stone” to people who wanted to stone an adulteress.

We follow the Law of Christ. That’s why we don’t follow all laws in the Bible anymore. It’s not picking and choosing though, it’s based on which law we are bound to.[/quote]

How do you feel about Luke 14:25-27? [/quote]

So In Luke 14:25, large crowds were travelling with Jesus because they had seen him healing people, feeding people and teaching people at no cost. Why not follow Jesus? You can get something for nothing. However, in this passage we see Jesus telling them that following him is not without cost - you have to place him before other important people in your lives. You even have to place him before yourselves.

To get his point across he uses very emotive and challenging language - you must hate everyone else. In so doing he is not saying that you do it literally but you must be prepared to put everything else second.

Jesus’ statement is emphasizing what must be the top priority if you are to follow him. [/quote]

He also advises the wealthy to give up their wealth and belongings to follow him and to ensure their entrance into heaven. That’s one of his commands that most followers don’t seem to follow.[/quote]

you know how hard it is for a wealthy person to get into heaven, like nearly impossible according to Jesus.  This is just routinely ignored by most people.   I tend to agree with the Chinese saying "to get rich is glorious."

[b]There are basically no morals in Chinese culture so I think I'd look somewhere else for your moral compass[/b][/quote]

it's immoral to get rich?  Well. we're going to have go ahead and disagree about that.[/quote]
