Can you be christian and except mixed fabrics?
 
This is completely wrong. The killing of another is murder whether it's illegal or not. The way you are saying it I could kill someone but it wouldn't be murder unless i was caught and punished. The whole point of the discussion is to see if abortion is right or wrong, if it should be legal or not. Because it's legal doesn't mean it's right. It just mean you can do it without punishment.

Murder is a hypothetical construct. It's a legal term where intent/cause is considered.

Killing is not a hypothetical construct. It doesn't have to consider motive.

Most Christians do not consider themselves subject to OT law other than the 10 Commandments. The Apostles decided that Gentile converts were not required to be circumcised or to keep the full OT laws, and had been given authority to make decisions of this sort by Jesus.

So, the fabric thing is a non-starter.
 
Goodness, what does that idiot who claimed "till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fullfilled" know, then? He must not have read the OT properly. ;)
 
Why does choosing or not choosing to have a abortion or not have to be based on religious reasons?
 
You are a Christian if you believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ and his place in the Trinitarian Godhead. A Christian is baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. A Christian also tries to follow the teachings of Jesus and emulate him in his holiness, but success in that does not define one as a Christian.
 
It's a shame that the word Trinity does not appear in the Bible, and the only statement of the Trinity's existence (the Johanneum Comma) is regarded as a forgery, then. ;)

Nonetheless, belief in a Trinitarian Godhead is a fundamental Christian belief, and is a part of the Nicene Creed.

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men and our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary , and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again in fulfillment of the scriptures: He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son, He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
 
Whoa Zombie thread.

And yes, you can. In fact, you can call yourself a Christian and pretty much do anything and believe anything you want. Does it make you a good Christian? There's the debate.

That wasn't the point of my comment. My comment was based on the fact that the doctrine found its chief validation in a forged passage of the Bible.

No, You just do not know how to read the NT properly.

The verse you refer to is in Matt5.

Mt 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mt 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

This is a prophetic statement. So now we need to see if there is anywhere in the NT that states that this prophecy has been fulfilled. After the resurrection in Luke 24...

Lu 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Lu 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

Jesus states that the words he spoke in Matt5 have been fulfilled. Now the OT law can pass away and is no longer binding on the believer.

Actually, I believe that inability is your own. Apart from your unexplained dismissal of the section about heaven and earth passing away, his reference was to the portions concerning him, as he stated not only in Luke 24:44 but in Luke 24:27 also, where it is recorded that he "expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself."
 
All though you are somewhat correct concerning the Johannine comment the bible still shows evidence of the trinity.

A very small sample of relevant verses.

God the Father

Joh 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

God the Son

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

God the Holy Spirit.

1co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Apparently you are not aware that the law psalms and the writings of the prophets contain over 300 prophecies pointing to the coming of Christ. Once those prophecies were fullfilled then the need for the law of moses passed away
