That only matters if you're Jewish or Christian. If you're not, Jewish and Christian religious laws are meaningless.
Are you certain? Do you know the Golden rule?

"Christian law" is to honor, respect and protect the freedom of religion.

Are you certain? Do you know the Golden rule?
And that includes the freedom of non-Christians to not live under Christian law, correct?
Am I certain of what?
I am both. But I know God's Law is not relegated to believers. Believers are not under the Law somehow (and to research and find out what this means). Unbelievers either are born under the Law or not or some combination. But the world is accountable to God by the Law God gave the nation of Israel.
Romans 3:19 NASB - 19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God;
Do you know the golden rule?
Yes.
John 13:34
"I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you must also love one another. "
This is the only command Jesus gave as a command.
Belief that there is a God and that He isn't an a-hole like false representatives make Him out to be is optional.
Hope, Faith and Love abide in the following of the real teachings of the Creator of Humanity that created it to be loved and love like Him.
Time line of the age of the earth is an optional stance. Jesus never said you must believe in a 4000 year old earth to Love and understand my Love.
Christians are not under the Law, according to the Bible.No, I, not being a Christian, am not under any sort of Christian law, in the same way that you, not being a Muslim, are not under any sort of Islamic law.
Quoting the Bible to non-Christians is as unpersuasive as Mormons quoting the Book of Mormon to you.
That's nice and all, but whether or not that's the only law that applies to today's Christians is an internal debate among Christians. For the rest of us it's irrelevant.
Christians are not under the Law, according to the Bible.
The book of Mormon is not the same as the Bible. The Bible is the Word of God. It is inspired by God, God-Breathed. Holy men of God wrote or penned the text under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
You are here because He put eternity in your heart.
You are curious, and your view point is important, because as an outsider you can rapidly distinguish between a good Father and a bad one.
Why else would you have read things here.
You know that hate breeds judgment and death, while love breeds peace, unless in protection of the weak and innocent, and life.
Do you agree with that last sentence?
And that includes the freedom of non-Christians to not live under Christian law, correct?
So it's ok for a Christian to be gay?
I realize that's what you believe, but again, that's irrelevant to the rest of us who don't share that belief.
Sure, I agree with it, but you're kind of drifting away from my point. Again, if Christians believe being gay is a sin, then they shouldn't be gay. But they can't expect to impose that belief on non-Christians.
So it's ok for a Christian to be gay?
I realize that's what you believe, but again, that's irrelevant to the rest of us who don't share that belief.
But democracy that incites freedom is the result of the pure message of Jesus.
The moral code of Moses and the code of Hamorobby (inspired by Moses) are the foundations of democratic government.
Saying I have to believe as you do or that I must believe the book of Mormon the same as I do the Bible, or that some believe the book of Mormon and some believe the Bible, does not help in regard to truth. You ought to believe the Bible as it is God's word. It is God's word to man.
Christians know it is not okay to be gay. It is not okay to practice the homosexual lifestyle. This is because it is not okay to sin. Christians know it is not okay to sin. What needs to happen is to confess Jesus as Lord and repent and believe the gospel confessing your sins to God.
