the old testament also says that it is a sin to wear clothing of mixed material, so take that as you will.
this argument is moot. he had already said that the old testament (deuteronomy in particular, but it applies to all scriptures regarding the old law) is only to be taken seriously when the new testament agrees with it.
any kind of bible knowledge would have stopped you from making that post. since that kind of archaic requirement obviously falls under the old law.
it goes like this:
higher law from adam to moses
jews too wicked to live by higher law, given law of sacrifice (where all the people like you enjoy pulling out verses to try and demonstrate how outmoded the bible is)
jesus is the ultimate sacrifice, fulfilling the old law, and re-instating the higher law.
what that means, is the old law is not be lived any more. it's worth keeping for study, because EVERYTHING in the old testament is a symbol of christ. when people quote the old laws to show how ignorant christians must be, they do nothing but demonstrate their own.
i'm not saying that there aren't a lot of ignorant, hateful christians out there, because there are. but that type of argument does no one any kind of good.
