[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leviticus 11:12: "That which has no fins nor scales in the waters, that is a detestable thing unto you"

No shrimp - ever.  This is one of the key things I talk to my kids about.  I apply the same credence to all of Leviticus, not just some parts.[/quote]

There is an actual, Biblical reason that Christians believe the moral law still applies, but the civil law for Israel and the ceremonial law for Old Testament worship does not.

Romans 14:5-8 
One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.  Whoever regards one day as special does so to the Lord. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.  For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone.  If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.[/quote]

I disagree.  There is nothing that says the old laws don't apply.  In fact Jesus says the opposite in Matthew 5:17- “[i]Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them[/i]."

If you wish to obey god's laws and achieve salvation you obey all of them.  Not just the convenient ones.[/quote]

[quote]You have heard it said that Jesus came to fulfill the law, but I tell you that Jesus never made that claim. In Matthew 5:17, Jesus says he came to fulfill “the Law and the Prophets,” a traditional phrase that refers to the whole Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament). And he’s not talking about simple obedience to the statutes. For Jesus, following the law’s 613 commands matters, but to truly fulfill it, or to “fill it full,” is something more. [/quote]

When Jesus was talking about that, he was talking about how he is the capstone on the Old Testament story. I went out of my way to say that there are ways the law still exists - typically that's called the moral law. Loving God and neighbor still stands. That fills up the law. But specific precepts have indeed passed away.

[quote]In fact, the ceremonies, sacrifices, and other elements of the Old Covenant were “only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves” (Hebrews 10:1). The tabernacle and temple were “holy places made with hands,” but they were never meant to be permanent; they were but “copies of the true things” (Hebrews 9:24, ESV). The Law had a built-in expiration date, being filled as it was with “external regulations applying until the time of the new order” (Hebrews 9:10).[/quote]

Total spin.  What could you not rationalize with this method?

The words are clear, the law is clear.[/quote]
