    Jesus explicitly said that these laws will never change.

    Well put. The other thing that’s very weird is how the xtians will say that Jesus both gave them a “new covenant”, and therefore things like dietary laws don’t apply to them. So they can eat shrimp, but No Homo, because of what the OT says.

    It seems highly selective, does it not? They’ll claim the OT is what gives the character of Jesus his legitimacy because of prophecy being fulfilled or somesuch, and therefore the OT is the word of god. The character of Jesus says the “not one jot or tittle” stuff, and yet, the xtians will declare “new covenant” and nope out on things that seem awfully convenient like eating shrimp, keeping the (actual) Sabbath, and circumcision.

    Even weirder - the way they enshrine things from Paul - a guy who never even met the character of Jesus, and that’s according to their own fanfic! People that consider what Paul says of any import should be in a religion called Paulianity, yes?
