16. "Christians" who believe Mosaic Law apply
Sun Aug 5, 2012, 05:21 PM
Aug 2012

The problem with Christianity is with those who believe that the Mosaic Law applies to anyone except to Jews. It applied to Jesus, the observant Jew, until his death. It can never apply to Gentiles by the very nature of the covenant.

The Roman Church and later Calvin should get much of the "credit" for making this hateful mess.

(My humble opinion as a New Covenant follower of the teachings of Jesus.)
