Doesn't matter, I know you are familiar with the New Covenant superseding the old law of Moses.
Jesus fulfilled the law..etc??? Originally Posted by DSK

Christians are not bound by the Law of Moses for sacrifices and fulfilling the law to gain salvation - hell, I thought everyone already knew that stuff. Originally Posted by DSK

Why do dispensationalists rely on Daniel? Why do some bother with the 10 Commandments? Which parts of the Old Testament are relevant, and how do you decide?

BTW, I am not a religionist, and I think the Bible was the worst thing to happen to Christianity. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy
