No. The Old Covenant was put into place with the promise that it's reqquirements would be fullfilled and a New Covenant established. As mankind matured, his need for strict guidance and boundaries changed. Just like with raising kids - as they get older, the rules change, not because mom and dad changed, but because the kids changed.

tris, I know that you and I have gone around this tree before and I've laid it out plain and simple. I've given you chapter and verse and reason and yet you still insist on spreading your garbage around. Why is this?? Why would you, in spite of having been educated on this issue, continue to act as if you are ignorant and lead others into the same ignorance? Maybe you should talk to your pastor about this issue. Obviously, you don't have much Biblical education, so maybe you should spend a little time learning the Truth.

Giving a liberal facts is like throwing bacon at a vegetarian. All it does it piss off the vegetarian and waste good bacon.
