Demi, I am sorry you are so frustrated. I am the "anonymous" who started this whole circumcision topic again (forgot to log in again). I am now writing re: this whole thing about sitting on a menstrous woman's chair. Many of these laws were in place before Jesus came -they were the ceremonial laws. Those laws have been fulliflled in Christ. They were meant for the nation of Israel, not us. There are some laws that carry over into the New Testament period (now) though, and are usually reiterated in the New Testament. Christians learn much from the Old, but are responsible to follow the New. The Ten Commandments were difficult (impossible) to follow, and Jesus' exposition of these laws in the New Testament leave us with no doubt- it is even more impossible to follow them perfectly. However, the standard we need to meet to reach heaven is perfection! Keep reading. and please stay cool! Because none of us can reach that perfection, Jesus died to pay the penalty for those who would place their trust in HIM instead of their own faulty morality. Heaven is attainable, not through our own efforts, but through Jesus. And the only Christian is the one who has come to realize this and embrace it fully. Jesus called it being 'born again" (John 3) An assent to the facts is not the way, and does not make us Christian. Jesus accomplished salvation for those who would trust in Him and Him alone. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Don't give up on Christianity - seek to fully understand it.
