Luckily a large chunk of humanity has evolved away from thinking God would tell set these laws.
Religious Fundies are holding back our specie...I know we will not let them take over and If they try I hope many will step up and fight against them.

Why do Christians even try and isolate Jesus from the Law?

@thewrightwing...... Don't forget Jesus said that the law was to remain until heaven and earth pass away.... And even acknowledged the authority of the Pharisees, who were law-obsesssed... For the reason that they sat in the ''chair of Moses''. Why do Christians even try and isolate Jesus from the Law?

Those that preach intolerance are the ones that, truly do, hold our species back. You're just as guilty, of that, as the "Fundies" are.

Christianity is VERY simple. But you are arguing with a Muslim who tries to make Christianity something it isn't, and who convolutes Jesus message.
The O.T. .... lots of supposed 'laws of God' telling people to kill each other.
The N.T. .... Mercy, forgiveness, 2nd chances (70 times 7 second chances)
and punishments that fit the crime.
BIG DIFFERENCE.

How do you expect prophetic events like the birth of Christ to manifest if the bloodline was corrupted due to rape or infidelity?
Jesus ancestor was a murderer. David committed murder. Jesus ancestors sinned. So what? He didn't have a pure bloodline all the way back to whenever humanity began.
What if all of the Israelite s had embraced homosexuality?
4% of humanity is homosexual. Having 4% not reproducing wouldn't have effected anything.
And homosexuality isn't 'catchy'. Either you are or you aren't.
How many of the examples listed in the OP are incredibly damaging to a small nomadic community?
The point ... we've evolved and thankfully people don't think like that anymore.
This isn't even taking into account the various bloodlines that survived the flood trying to co-mingle with the Jews and corrupt prophecy.
- There was no flood in which only Noah and his family survived. It's impossible.
- As for your thoughts on 'corrupted bloodline' ... I have no idea what you are talking about.

So doesn't that kind of tell you that the original 'laws' ... the ones that were strange like 'death for eating practicing birth control' ... didn't really come from God at all?? That's what it looks like. Either that, or the laws change as the times change because God can see what is best for that particular time period. Either way, the O.T. laws are absurdly deadly and we are better off without them.
So is being intolerant of murdering people because they lie about being a virgin, means that the person intolerant of the murder is just as bad as the murderer? hmmm ... I"m just not seeing it.

When will the next New Covenant arrive? God is apparently very capricious, so next.... One new commandment...."Mind your own ****in business"

4 % is an assumption on your part -
The science is out on whether it is something someone is born with.
Pure is not sinless but you would know that if you read more than anti-OT talking points.
You don't know that there was no flood.
which is probably why you have such a hard time comprehending the things from the OP.
Jesus had to be born through the line of David. If someone in that line had been raped and allowed to continue on with the child then the prophecy would have been broken correct?

The "next" covenant (step, age, world, etc...) was attempted to be revealed in the writings found in revelations.

Are you saying the Revelations was not an attempt to peer into and reveal the future?
