Yes but the 10 commandments are still the character of God, they will never become outdated. Only the need to follow for salvation/holiness had been altered by Jesus’ death. The purpose of the Law is to condemn, so having knowledge of the Law allows non believers to see where they fall short and need a savior. Without that we have a sinful society that doesn’t acknowledge sin.
The purpose of the 10 commandments is 1. a guideline on how to act as a Christian, as mandated by God, and 2. as the means with which we as humans can obviously see we cannot follow the commandments perfectly because we are sinful creatures as it stands rn, and subsequently need Jesus as our savior because we can't get to heaven or be perfectly righteous in God's eyes without HIM. As for all the saints and Godly people who died before Christ, I have an interesting theory about where they went as the heaven 'placeholder' till Jesus fulfilled the prophecies and reunited us with our Father and opened the pearly gates for us again. Abrahams bosom. But thats a little bit sidetracking kek
Show me where this runs afoul of “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”.
Congress did not make a law respecting the establishment of religion.
Congress did not make a law prohibiting the free exercise of religion.
It is perfectly Constitutional for Louisiana to put up the Ten Commandments.
The Ten Commandments are Moses.
The Beatitudes are Jesus.
Why aren’t Christian’s promoting Jesus over Moses?
Ten Commandments are God, not Moses. Jesus is God.
Jesus distinguished the Ten Commandments from his own commandment, which is to love God and to love one another.
Jesus and God have the same character.
The Old Testament religion is a different religion to which Jesus is the antidote.

As a Christian I follow BOTH the Old and New Testament.
