So is it only necessary to follow the law as given by Jesus? Are all of the OT laws nullified by the NT? And if not, is there a reference somewhere that codifies which OT laws are still relevant?
I know it sounds like I’m baiting you, but I ask in sincerity.
Absolutley true...just saying, if one is worried about “how to choose which parts of the Bible to follow,” they can start with that verse and be most of the way there.
See my post to Oztrich and answer it, if you please. The first part about mocking is not something I’d ask you to answer, since you weren’t doing that.
If you’re asking with all sincerity,
it will be necessary that you do some research on your own,
as this is too big of a topic to cover on a discussion board.
My paraphrasing would be a POOR substitute for the Word:
Matt 5:17-18
17 Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.
The Law stands as The Law. Its intent is to point out the standard to which no man can actually reach, and the necessity of acceptance of Christ’s sacrifice as the atonement for that shortfall.
Read the Gospels first. Then you can read the OT and say to yourself - yes, here is the standard of The Law, and Christ paid for my trangressions thereof.
define "right" and "wrong". Apart from God these words have no meaning as your "right" could very well be my "wrong".
Atheism, if the atheists were being honest, always comes down to "might makes right"
I’m curious as to why those two commandments exist in every religion, except those without a concept of God, which have only the second.
“Atheists continually hijack the principles of the Christian worldview — of life and reality — in order to live and function daily. If I punched one of these loudmouths in the face, the objection would come back...”that’s not nice..” Based on WHAT?”
—I don’t think one needs to “hijack” Christianity or any other worldview in order to realize that it’s not pleasant to be punched in the face.
The golden rule. Do unto others.
Listen to what the subject of this thread has to say on the topic, provided above, and reply to that, if you would.
To say that you believe in something adamantly but just in case you’re wrong you have a `Plan B,’ doesn’t that seem a little craven to you?
Apart from God these words have no meaning as your “right” could very well be my “wrong”.
I actually had someone yesterday who would rather say that he couldn’t judge between Mother Theresa and Adolph Hitler
than he would admit to the existance of absolute standards.
Rejection of absolute standards is easily shown to be either a falsehood or an absurdity.

Romans 2:14-15
14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)
Thank you. I will research further.

Why didn’t you answer the question?
I’ll be glad to answer your query after you answer mine.
Yes, but who says it's wrong to punch someone in the face just because it's unpleasant?
Sorry. I agree that there is no reason to pick and choose if those two rules are the entirety of the law.
He who has the gold, makes the rules?
Do unto others
Then split?
Without God there is no golden rule.
Of course this is time and/or location dependent. Through out most of the last 2000 years, that has not been the case. Inquisition, crusades, reformation, pogroms, and the holocaust were times of near certain death coming across that same group. And we now see an icredible rise in antisemitism that may well again end in christians killing Jews in the future.
Who made yours? God? Where did he provide them? The Bible? Have you actually read the stuff in there?
