if beliefs lead to bad choices and actions they are a problem
if they don't have any negative effect, they don't matter

Your Friends choice of eating preferences seem to have a ' Negative ' affect on you

Any post that starts with "You" or "Your" is too aggressive in my opinion.

Molearner, I agree with you. The OT law was a law of fear. The NT law is a law of love. Seems appropriate to let the OT rest as what it was and embrace the new and better way, does it not?

It seems we are not understanding the work of Jesus and its impact on the mortal world.
