But…
I can hear your but forming in your mind already…
But what about what Jesus said about the law not passing away?
But what about all the law Jesus reinforced?
But what about the scriptures like 1 Cor 3:11 and Heb 8:13 that make it sound like it’s still kind of relevant?
But what about the fact God gave the law to the people of Israel?
