Its my fault of course.

Well that's a really good question. Why should I listen to commandments today that say I should not lie about you, fornicate with your wife, and then murder you if you object? Yeah we should forget those pesky Ten Commandments and just let the US Congress or UN be our moral compass.
The Old Covenant was that the Israelites were God's Chosen People. The New Covenant is that an Israelite is one whose heart is circumcised, or their mind has become property of Jesus Christ. He completed the 10 Commandments saying a man shall not even think of murder, or think of adultery, etc.
The New Covenant's Commandments are what need to be erected.
Yes but Jesus expanded the ten commandments. In the old covenant doing the deed was wrong. Jesus expanded the concept that even thinking about it made you guilty. Looking on a woman with lust in your heart counts not just doing the deed. How ever the commandments are not canceled.
I don't want to start a dogma war but reading Paul's letters suggests that living a sinful life style just because Christ paid for sin is not right.
Yes, that's what I meant: Thou shalt not murder in thine heart. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife in thine heart, and so on; a modification of the Ten Commandments not their cancelation.
As an aside, because I don't want to start a debate either I enjoy the New Testament books by the Apostles the most.
My guess is the people of Oklahoma will reject the giant Satan statue, then a Federal Judge will overturn them and have it built.
Are we aware pentagrams were THE symbol on our aircraft in WWII? Just as the red circle was on Japanese planes and the swastika on German planes.
There are a lot of people that eat shell fish and state that they can because Jesus made it clean...or something to that effect.
I heard this and was thinking that they really did not pay too much attention to what was put forth in Leviticus...
Not that I am anywhere near a person who can quote from the Bible, or anything else along those lines....
