[QUOTE="ChristianT, post: 59489052, member: 295728"] [I]sort of.[/I] following Torah / OT / commandments / law does not "get you into heaven," alone. Such things must be done (as a Christian) out of love for G*d, our Father, and Savior. Works do not get us into heaven, as following law is works. As true Christians, followers of Christ, we do what Jesus commissioned us to do, make disciples and live under the grace we have been given in the New Testament, the new covenant is the one we live under. The Old Covenant is the friendship between G*d and Abraham. The "NC" is the "bridge" made between human err and G*d's perfect standard. Through the confession and repentance, we may follow the law more effectively and out of reverence for G*d. Plus, the commands that call for death, "must be put to death," I don't think He was talking to us. I think He was telling them that what was mentioned was a sin. As he promised death (b/c of sin) to Adam and Eve, He calls for death (sheds light on sin) on what was mentioned. As "Heidiii" mentioned, John 8:1-11 is a good reason why we don't stone others. We are all with sin; we all sin. And Jesus didn't stone the woman for adultery, so a Christ follower wouldn't. He came to save, not to judge. And so we are not to condemn either, but teach as many as we can and make them disciples of Christ so that they won't "surely die"(Genesis 2:17) for their sins. [/QUOTE]
