Follow as many laws as you can.

Start by giving up bacon/pork.

The law IS SPIRTUAL

what is do not eat bacon/pork therefore?
A COMMANDMENT OF MEN
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18233550


Looks like God does not like swine in the future either.

Isa 66:17 "Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves, to go to the gardens after an idol in the midst, eating swine's flesh and the abomination and the mouse, shall be consumed together," says the LORD.
 Quoting: Achduke7


Swine’s flesh is spiritual. Physical ham and bacon tastes good and doesn’t matter if you physically eat it.

Spiritually swines flesh means religious slop. All of the false religions. You don’t want to feed your mind the slop of the false religions.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24171165


You're just putting a "spiritual" spin on it.

God prohibited His people from eating specific animals like pigs and shrimps.

Re: Does Jesus want me to follow the laws of the Old Testament? Yes or no?
The bible was written by men, edited by men. It's not God's holy anything and was not inspired by God at all. It was compiled from word-of-mouth stories which came hundreds of years after Christ was gone. The old testament is the Torah, Jewish books and Jewish law talking about a brutal son-of-a-bitch Jewish god, who, btw, wasn't a "god" at all but an ET from a planet called Jehovah, Jehovah's Witnesses, get it?

The real God would never have a "chosen people". He plays no favorites. Neither would he ever order or demand genocides, wars and bloodshed and live sacrifices to appease him. You can't appease God. He doesn't have an ego that can played too. He loves all equally and without reservation which is something man doesn't do. In short, he doesn't take sides but there are sides and we must choose which side we're on...Light or Dark.

If you want to adhere to the bible, as misguiding as it is, to still serve God, then toss the OT, toss it's murderous grossness.

The New Testament contains much more of Jesus' message of love, brotherhood and the Kingdom of God. But be careful there too as much has been added and ommitted by men with an agenda for religious control instead of spiritual truth and liberation.

And speaking of spiritual liberation...Jesus did not die for your sins. He was just executed by the Pharisees (pretending to be J ews today) because his message of love, brotherhood and the truth of the Kingdom of God was a threat to the religious doctrine of the day (as it still is today. They would crucify him again if they could. That is in fact what easter is really about. Repeated crucifixion every year).

Christ did not, and cannot, take responsibility for free will actions and choices of people that wasn't born yet or wouldn't be born for hundreds and thousands of years afterwards and into eternity as the belief goes. That's just a ridiculous notion. None are responsible for another's free will actions, only their own, and it's no different for God and Jesus. You are not absolved from the affects of your actions and choices. You are responsible for them and will have to account for them and never will it be different. This idea is actually a variation on the idea of Yom Kippur where atonement by one for sins absolves you from responsibility for all future sins. A ridiculous idea. See - [link to www.hebcal.com (secure)] and make the comparison.

In fact, if you want more truth than your bible could ever give you (even if it had to be compromised as well to please the Jewish world masters) the read the sections on Jesus' life in the Urantia book. You'll get much more there than you could imagine and really get to know the real Jesus and the real truth of the Kinddom of God.

I want to be good. I love Him.
But I want a straight answer, not moral relativism.
Must I follow the laws of the Old Testament? Or do we Christians get to pick and choose what we want to follow?

All I want is clarity not confusion.

Yes or no?

The notion that Jesus did away with the Law is a total misunderstanding of scripture as verses from the New Testament are "cherry-picked" to support the doctrine.

Jesus and the Apostles followed the 10 C's and ALSO observed the feasts etc...

At the same time though, Noahide Laws are not in the Bible - they are a supposed tradition as told in the Talmud.

All that said, the 10 Commandments and the other 603 laws given in the Torah have nothing to do with Salvation. Salvation has ALWAYS been about God's grace (forgiveness) given to us through Faith and Repentence.

Proof?

Abraham sinned - and yet Jesus mentions that he & Lazarus are on the other side of the "divide", away from the "rich man". Abraham's Faith was counted as righteousness.

Moses sinned - and yet we see him at Jesus' Transfiguration.

This is 19 mins - and a fairly decent explanation.

Re: Does Jesus want me to follow the laws of the Old Testament? Yes or no?
The OT plainly lays out that the 10 commandment are not Tribal law, for they didnt follow the 10 while they coveted, subverted, fornicated stole, bearing false witness and murdered mend women and children in ethnic cleansing of the other desert tribes.

They didnt follow them, they only used them to convict all others claiming that others did what they themselves were doing.

Thats why even to this day, when they accuse others of intrinsic criminality, as do Shumer, Shiff, Warner, Blumenthal, and all the rest, they have no shame of their own sins against others, they just declare to see sin in everyone elses actions and demand they be judge, jury and inevitably executioners of the evil gentiles.

The FACT, when you scrape all the bullshit propaganda off of it, is that Levitical law teaches and commands THEFT and ABUSE of gentiles.

Lev 25. 44-46 is the proof of it, it is the focus of evil and malice to all others as a 'holy' directive.

That is clearly a law that requires one to be evil and, coincidentally requires the dear ones to steal the very lives and liberty from all those around them, not like its not obvious in their day to day activities.

It doesnt matter any of the more normal and high soundings laws, when the real basis of it is to steal and destroy the lives of others for their desert gods blood lust.

The theme of forgiveness doesnt exist in the old testament, at least not for gentiles, even those too young to have done anything wrong.

The NT is about individual behaviors and individual motivations and deeds.

The Jewish people are to follow the 613 commandments. Gentiles are to follow the 7 Noahide laws. It's that simple.

Awww only seven laws of a SLAVE.

Review those 7 'laws' and you will find they are not for become one of the chosen, they only make you a slave to the chosen and their own personal, profitable bitch for their pleasure. It is just another form of dhimmitude..

Old Testsment for the tribe

New testament for those of Jesus Christ
 Quoting: Theobromine The Deplorable


Christians cannot follow all of Levitical law and stay Christians.

They would naturally become judeochristians.

The old testament laws declare a state of war against anyone and everyone else.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76626437


Christian means elect or annointed. A follower of Christ. It is not a religion. During Paul's time they called themselves the "way or path". Jesus said he is the way. The levitical laws cannot be followed without a priesthood even by Israel.
 Quoting: Achduke7


The FACT, when you scrape all the bullshit propaganda off of it, is that Levitical law teaches and commands THEFT and ABUSE of gentiles.

Lev 25. 44-46 is the proof of it, it is the focus of evil and malice to all others as a 'holy' directive.

That is clearly a law that requires one to be evil and, coincidentally requires the dear ones to steal the very lives and liberty from all those around them, not like its not obvious in their day to day activities.

It doesnt matter any of the more normal and high soundings laws, when the real basis of it is to steal and destroy the lives of others for their desert gods blood lust.
A chain is as strong only as the weakest link and the above is the weakest link of all,
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76626437

ALL societies had slaves in those days.

Not all gentiles are "heathens".

Finally, the laws laid out specific treatment of slaves - and I would bet that the Hebrews treated them better than any other society.

 Quoting: TheLordsServant



Where does it say these rules are for priests/rabbis, BUT these laws are for the 'commoners'?

All you gotta do is to look what they cover.
