A friend says to you:
“I don’t think we need to listen to any of the laws in the Old Testament. Jesus did away with the Old Testament so all we need to listen to is the New Testament.”
How would you respond to this person?
How should we understand the relationship between Old Testament ethics and New Testament ethics?
