So many comments and not a single scripture.
We've given many and you've rejected them.
theres a clear difference between prophecies (predictions of future events) and laws(stuff you should and shouldnt do).. now since xians always says jesus fullfilled the law, how does one fullfill a bunch of requirements like dont murder, dont worship idols, shave your beard like this etc.. there are 613 laws in the torah, jewish rabbis have done all the hard work and we have a nice list on wiki.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/613_mitzvot.
im confused which of those some how select a unique individual to be the unique messiah ?
then again there were many messiahs, every king and priest of israel and judea was a messiah.

MP doesn't believe in Judaism anyway, since he is an atheist.
Nor does he understand it.

I'm puzzled as to why mP would be offended by something he himself doesn't even believe is a sin in the first place.
I don't expect mP to tell the truth, after all he's not in court and doesn't believe he can be judged for it.
Why does he condemn others for it, if it's not a sin?
while discussing the mosaic law, christalone made the statement that jesus life fulfilled numerous ot prophecies.
i have listed them below and will address a few as i promised.

You said:
Its funny how honest christians tell damn right lies all the time with a straight face.
I'm asking you what " damn right lies " are? You've said lies aren't damnable ( as long as they're not in court).

The fact that you feel attacted by me quoting scriture is telling. I'm glad you do understand them. Maybe they'll sink in someday.

Good job!
mP is a great example of the type (mindset) that Jesus did NOT come for. He came to cause sinners to repent. As Jews the Pharisees saw the tax collectors as sinners because they stole from the people.
Mat 9:12 But when he heard it, he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.13 Go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.' For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
I love this translation.
Mat 9:12 When Jesus heard that, he said, "Healthy people don't need a doctor; those who are sick do. 13 Learn what this means: 'I want mercy, not sacrifices.' I've come to call sinners, not people who think they have God's approval."
He thinks he can force God to give his approval on a “technicality”. I guess he thinks God's love can be demanded.
If by the law you mean the law of Moses (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), the law pointed to Jesus. The law was incomplete in that it was only meant to show our need for Christ’s acceptability to God the Father.
The first clear prophesy of Christ is found in Genesis
Gen 3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."
The rest of the “law of Moses” was to point to that fulfillment. Jews still await this fulfillment (during the Temple periods it was the hope of every Jewish woman to be the one who delivered this promise), Christians believe it is fulfilled in Christ.

So you know lies condemn you!
What are "damn right lies"?
You said ealier they aren't sins, let alone damnable.
ive had many chats with tec and shes always fun but i must disagree with her angle on jesus and the mosaic law.
she always claims that jesus repealed the law.
ive asked for many times and she has yet to give the exact quote.. perhaps the most damning scripture for tec and friends is mat 5:18 where jesus unequivacably says the laws is perfect and will last forever.
mP
From the text it says tel the truth if you are swearing in Gods name. Im talking to you and dont swear anything, and lie then thats fine as i have not sworn in GOds name. SOrry to be technical but thats what it says.
Show me where it says in the list is wrong to LIE AT ANY TIME.
I don't have to SHOW you anything, I already know I'm a sinner. Who are you trying to fool, you already know you are guilty. God has shown YOU. If you would be honest with yourself you would admit how wicked you are.
Have you ever coveted ANYTHING?
Deu 5:21 "'And you shall not covet your neighbor's wife. And you shall not desire your neighbor's house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.'
I can't help but chuckle (you are a real comedian), as a law enforcement officer you can't begin to imagine how many times I’ve seen people show up in court thinking they will beat the judge on a “technicality”.
And you think you have defeated God on a leagal issue? HAHAHAHAHA! I'm sure you are joking.
So, do you think that by your "righteous nature" God owes you something now?

Im sorry buying animals for sacrifice and giving gold to the temple were monetary fines.
And that is exactly the reason Jesus died. He was the perfect sacrifice, offered to those whom he loved.
Heb 7:27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself.
Heb 9:11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.
Heb 9:24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. 25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Heb 10:10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. 14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. 15 And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying, 16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds," 17 then he adds, "I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more."
You keep trying to justify yourself by telling me that stealing from your boss or lying aren’t sins against God, when you know they are. Why do you lie to yourself?
Then you say:
Show me where Fornication or adultery is a crime, and ill show you a dozen places where heroes fornicate to their hearts content and god still loves them.
King Davids crime was he killed the husband, not that he screwed his wife. If we read Nathans parable thats basically teh core element in the story. David is taking the woman from a man not that he is screwing her.
King Saul and Samuel roll around naked in Chronicles all night, and they were prophecying according to the text. I can find the scirpture if you want late ron.
And all that is making MY point. All men sin. All men need a Savior and a Mediator, between God the Father and man. Jesus died to be the perfect sacrifice for all time for those whom he loved and who believed in Him.
I just checked the 613 laws in the OT and no where does it say lying is a sin. The closest is when being a witness to court, but ive never been to court and have never lied there, so i have not broken that law. Technicality sure, but thats what it says.
There you go again, trying to add words to the bible. Putting words in God’s mouth is a sin as well. It says nothing about “court” you are inserting that into the text yourself.

How do you count good righteous acts , where are the costs for bad things.
The question has nothing to do with me. You should be asking; How does God "count good righteous acts"?
THis is starting to sound like a business that the catholics ran and became very rich and was called indulgencies. This is the very nonense the protestantsare protesting against this sort of account keeping and money charging.
Money has nothing to do with righteousness. The only source of righteous is God
Im not saying im perfect but ive never sinned, no rapes, no murders, no bank robberies and im pretty sure most of society is just the same.
Have you ever lied? Called someone a name? Fornicate? Waste time, steal from work? They're sins too.
