Quoting: osiol There are very few Christians who adhere to what the Bible says. If you were to follow everything, there would be no priests and church hierarchy. There would be no shaving of beards or eating of shellfish and so on. Some things would be better, some things would be worse. Beards don't suit me and I like eating little sea creatures. I do believe in love your neighbour, and that you shouldn't steal or kill.
Yes sir,
it depends on what you mean, i know that sounds silly, but Jesus taught about legalism, do you remember when the pharisis asked why he was gleening corn on the sabath, and he told them when you are hungry do you not eat (paraphrasing), he was saying there is a higher law, and that is of life, the law of life. Jesus came to fullfil what the law could not fullfil which is righteousness, so we are not subject to the law, because it can not make a man righteous, only believing in the son makes a man righteous, and this is not of man, but because of Christ, man can not be righteous on his own, and that is what the law showed. :)
