If that is the case. then how can someone justify not upholding all the laws
regarding marraige.
Including the one that if a Man dies without issue, his brother or father
must impregnate his widow. (I don't know the biblical reference to that
one)

All of that still applies to a lot of Christians.
And there are some who believe that after Christ came forgiveness and grace
came...in the Old Testament life was very religious and ritualistic...the
new testament introduces faith, grace, mercy, etc....

Its interesting to me how Christians quote the bible when they want to
promote their viewpoint, but don't follow it when it goes against what they
want.
for instance, they quote the bible to cite their objections to gay marriage,
but what about the following?
Marriage shall consist of a union between one man and one or more
women.Genesis 29:17-28.
Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines in addition to
his wife or wives. II Samuel 5:13 and II Chronicles 11:21.
A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the
wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed. Deuteronomy 22:13.
Marriage of a believer and a nonbeliever shall be forbidden. Genesis 24:3.

Any time. There are simple things like that which are ignored by religious
people. Basically, if you believe in God and believe in some book that has
his
words in it, you also believe in:
Destined events
Magic
Prophecy
Spirits
Ghosts
etc.
I laugh every time I see good Christian folk on TV shows where they're
talking
to some guy who speaks to the dead. They don't put one plus one together to
get
two. Calling to the dead is necromancy. Necromancy is strictly forbidden by
Biblical law. Christians (and Jews for that matter) can't visit
spiritualists,
mediums or the like.
Me, I believe. I know my deeds have an effect on the world and if I want to
bring the Messiah, I have to 'improve' the world. Setting up a country to be
destroyed isn't going to do it. Trying to 'force' God isn't going to do it.
Only
doing good. Wish these Apostolics saw it that way. But then again, they
probably
see it as a 'good deed'.
And you all know how I just <love> missionaries.
