Not the same thing. Nowhere in the ten commandments does it mention sacrifices or stoning or kosher. The ten commandments are not laws, they are commandments. The ten commandments teach how to worship god properly and how to act, the laws of Moses were a code of laws. Although Moses' laws were based on the ten commandments, they are not the same, Moses' laws are not applicable to modern christians. Not being rude, but you might want to do some more research.

dude you have no idea what you are talking about. Read some Thomas Aquinas, the nature of the moral law is that by definition it cannot change over time. The ceremonial and judicial laws were fulfilled by Christ and do not apply anymore. The moral law is forever.

That is literally what I said. I said the Laws of Moses are not Moral laws, they are civil laws. The ten commandments are the moral laws and NOT a part of the laws of Moses. We are agreeing apparently.

No, what you actually said was "We get our moral compass from Jesus and the New Testament not the Old Testament (Torah) and Moses"

This is not true, all of the moral laws given by Moses still apply today, including the 10 commandments, which are found in the old testament.

You should refrain from posting on theological matters until you do a little more studying. The Christian religion does not refute the Old Testament (what you are calling the laws of Moses) or claim it was twisted. All 613 commandments are in the Old Testament.

Christian Ideology believes they no longer have to all be adhered to, but not because it was "twisted"
