I've been in lots of churches. I've never picked up a bible anywhere that was comprised only of the New Testament.
Your authoritative wisdom when it comes to Christian theology is ridiculous. Watching you explain how Christianity
works is like watching a retard trying to solve a Rubic's Cube.

The separate books I've seen that were New Testament only
were not in churches but they are distributed as more convenient to reference.
I guess that's why they print them that way.
I agree with both you and

No, Christians are not bound by the letter of the law
as in the OT.
But yes, Christians are still compelled to keep
the 10 commandments and follow the
authority of Jesus or Justice that
FULFILLS the law and doesn't abolish it,
nor imposes judgment or condemnation
but exists to CORRECT and RECONCILE.
The spirit of the NT is RESTORATIVE JUSTICE.
That's the meaning and message of CHRIST JESUS.
to bring peace and justice by establishing TRUTH.
When we no longer violate laws we no longer
invoke the OT codes of punishment and judgment.
Instead we seek forgiveness for correction
so we RESTORE good faith relations and justice
to find renewed PEACE in relations and society.
It's not about "rejecting" laws in order to escape judgment.
It's about following and fulfilling them NATURALLY
so there are no more transgressions but these
are prevented and corrected in Christ Jesus/Restorative Justice
that we live by instead of judgment and punishment
by retributive justice as in the OT. We keep the laws
but stop the corruption and abuses of them.
