Spoilered to reduce the derailing of the main thread.

 

Framing Supersessionism and similar doctrines as spin does not make them that. They exist as doctrine because they are often reasonable explanations for the now non-binding nature of much of the Levitical law. It may not persuade you, but they generally are a large part of the Christian faith.

Jesus spoke (MATTHEW 15:11), and Paul wrote about this frequently (ROMANS 7:6, for example). Given Christ's record on the subject, I'd say following in his lead on the old covenant is far from intellectually dishonest. Paul directly rebuts the soteriological value of keeping the law (GALATIONS 2:16). Thus, I'm wearing my comfy multi-fiber shirt.

That said, perhaps my interpretation is wrong and I am in sin by not keeping the law. If this is so, then I repent and beg the Father for forgiveness in my ignorance for I "know not what I do," and I throw myself at the feet of Christ.

is that in the supreme court's ruling?
