Jesus new covenant with man was to follow the laws of those put in positions of government authority, but to also follow two basic spiritual laws that in themselves hold all the commandments and amendments of the Mosaic Law...." Love thy God with all thine heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love thy neighbor". You point back to Mosaic Law as ridiculous or non relevant yet there are still laws in the books in the U.S.A that forbid spitting on the street.....

There has to be one single absolute truth though, would you not agree? There can not be more than one way that the Bible is translated. How can we have faith in something that changes at it's own convenience? The old testament evolved to exist. The bible as it was written ceased to be accepted by man. The "institution" then changed the Bible to conform to the masses that they still wished to manipulate. Jesus wasnt alive to make this decision, who gave the authority and why should i value their word or judgement more than any other man?
