I am saying your point is non sensical. The law did not require males to fulfil laws applying only to females. He fully satisfied the demands of the law.

If there is a law that says females must pick their noses at every stop sign. If I fail to pick my nose at a stop sign, I have not violated the law. I have perfectly satisfied the demands of the law on me.

So are you saying women can't be saved because he didn't "fulfill" all of our laws?

Likewise, if you live (or drive)in Kansas, the maximum speed limit on the Interstates is 75 MPH.

Telling the friendly HOOSIER trooper who pulls you over that fact and showing him you KS license, will not faze him a bit as he writes you a ticket.

Kansas 'law' makes NO diffence here, just as ISRAELI 'law' does NOT need to be followed unless you are in that country.

Why do you people want to do that in the religious realm??

Haven't you read this??

 

NIV Acts 15:19-31
19.  "It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God.
 20.  Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.
 21.  For Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath."
 22.  Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to choose some of their own men and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, two men who were leaders among the brothers.
 23.  With them they sent the following letter: The apostles and elders, your brothers, To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia: Greetings.
 24.  We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said.
 25.  So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul--
 26.  men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 27.  Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing.
 28.  It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements:
 29.  You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.
 30.  The men were sent off and went down to Antioch, where they gathered the church together and delivered the letter.
 31.  The people read it and were glad for its encouraging message.
