re src dlecoint garnet acns fsu edu darius lecointe writes i find it interesting that cls never answered any of the questions posed then he goes on the make statements which make me shudder he has established a two tiered god one set of rules for the jews his people and another set for the saved gentiles his people why would god discriminate does the jew who accepts jesus now have to live under the gentile rules god has one set of rules for all his people paul was never against the law in fact he says repeatedly that faith establishes rather that annuls the law paul s point is germane to both jews and greeks the law can never be used as an instrument of salvation and please do not combine the ceremonial and moral laws in one in matt christ plainly says what he came to do and you say he was only saying that for the jews s benefit your christ must be a politician speaking from both sides of his mouth as paul said i have not so learned christ forget all the theology just do what jesus says your excuses will not hold up in a court of law on earth far less in god s judgement hall pardon me for being a little confused but at the beginning of your second paragraph you say god has one set of rules for all his people yet at the end of the same paragraph you declare please do not combine the ceremonial and moral laws in one not only do i not understand where in the bible you find the declaration that there are laws ceremonial and moral but i am also unclear on whether you think it is bad to have sets of laws in the first place if it s bad to have sets of laws how can there be a ceremonial law that is different from the moral law and vice versa i would also be interested in your comments on the passage in i cor where paul teaches different rules for covering you head while praying depending on whether you are a man or a woman do you think the apostles can prescribe different sets of rules for men and women if so then why not for jews and gentiles also why did paul who was so opposed to circumcising gentiles voluntarily circumcise timothy mark
