Just wondering which instructions we follow when the instructions are directly opposed to each other. I'm suggesting that maybe as Christians, Jesus instructions to his followers might be more pertinent than God's instructions to the Israelites in the OT. If you don't agree, then I hope you have four tassels hanging from your shirt. :-) Not at all. Just wondering which instructions we follow when the instructions are directly opposed to each other.

Neither changes, but directive as to how to live our lives has: by faith instead of by works. All of the requirements of Mosaic Law were fulfilled through the life, death, and resurrection of Christ (Gal 3:13). Because of what he's done, and as believers, we are “not under law but under grace,” (Rom 6:14). Makes me feel much better about my tattoos and inability to grow a decent beard, among other things. Not sure what you mean exactly by the OT and Jesus being one and the same. Are you suggesting that the God of the OT is not the God of the NT?
