Another correction. Without detracting from your basic argument, I must in fairness point out that Jesus in fact specifically (1) affirmed the Ten Commandments and (2) affirmed its validity for as long as heaven and earth remain (Matthew 5:17-21). I agree with you, however, that morality shouldn’t be legislated. Those who claim religion should inculcate it at home and not expect government to do the job for them.

I won’t take the time to have a lengthy argument. The vast majority of Christian theologians would disagree with your view. They would say, among other things, that Jesus’ ministry took place under the OLD covenant, that saying ‘not one jot’ will disappear from The Law is not the same as saying that Christians are under the Law. And more…but this will be an endless circular argument so people will have to figure it out for themselves. –cp

Just want to suggest a correction. Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t believe in the Bible Sabbath. They have ‘church’ on Sundays like most denominations do. I know this because I’ve been tracking their teachings and had discussions with them for many years. Hope this is okay.

Point taken. It’s been a few decades since I took the course on heresy, and I probably confused the JWs with some other outsider group. –cp
