On the contrary, to follow even one law is a slap in the face of God. You would be implying that Jesus' sacrifice was not enough. Are you not aware that Paul was very vehement about that?
Why do you conclude this? All St Paul says is that 'the Law cannot
save.' He does not say that 'to follow the Law is an insult to God.'
And he does not exclude the possibility of following the Law to the
letter and salvation. If I keep kosher because I believe in ritual
cleanliness and I profess that Jesus is my Lord and Savior and live
a loving Christian life, how is this a slap in God's face?
And, I'll ask this again: if God's Word is eternal and inerrant, how
could following it lead me into sin? That is, by noting that I am at
war with Iraq, how can following the guidlines of Leviticus ever lead me
into sin?
Are you saying that following the guidelines 'given by God' in Leviticus
contradict the guidelines 'given by God' in the NT?
