No offense, but you clearly don't understand. :-) Christians live
under the "New Conevant" of Grace through faith in Jesus Christ,
not the "Old Covenant" of sacrifices under the Mosaic Law. (Romans
6:14-15, Galatians 5:4, etc., etc.). That "Old Covenant" passed
away with the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Judson,
Do you accept the fact that there are those who CLAIM they are "Christians"
who do not view this the same as you do? This doesn't mean that YOU would call
them Christians, but they call themselves such.

(The same point is true for the general approach to the Bible - and in fact this
difference in understanding of theBible explains the difference in their
understanding of the "laws" in effect then (pre Jesus), then (post Jesud), and
now.)
