Then why are Christians so insistant about having our government post the 10 Commandments on government property if they have been contradicted by Christianity itself?
God didn't get it right the first time?
I thought the new one was created or at least the result of intelligent design.

I don't know. I guess they are seen as a symbol, but I honestly don't know. In fact, this is the first time I've heard about that.
Excuse me? Could you please rephrase? I'm not sure what you just asked.What sins that was made that Christ was punished?
Personally, I don't think God was actually saying that He punished the children of those who hated Him, or ignored the faults of those who loved Him. (There were certainly less than a thousand generations between this promise and the Roman destruction of Jerusalem....or the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem) I think what He was saying here is that He is love, and that His love is eternal when compared to His wrath at sin. I think He was using hyperbole (Which was a well known and used by the ancient Jews and their Rabbi's) to drive home the point that His love was so much greater.Exodus 20:5-6 said:
If that is so,then the new one is different than the old one or that the people change in thinking and created new ways to interpret the old one for something entirely new.The old testament also says there that God was fighting a certain person and since he couldn't beat him he took one leg from him and he could fight no more. Simple rule about Christianity: when something is in the old testament and contradicted in the new one, the new one is right. The commandments are important, but some parts are outdated by the new testament. They are not obsolete, but as I said some parts got changed. The new testament is the basis of Christianity, not the old one. The old one is what the new one evolved from.
You said this,didnt you?
Once again.What are those sins that we have committed that Christ was punished for?
So if you break the moral law by hating God, it is a constant throughout history that God will punish you and your descendants for a few generations?
Christ's death atones for the sins of all those who accept Him. If I tell a lie, because I am a Christian, Christ's death atones for that lie. Or if I kill, or steal something, or any number of things. Christ's death doesn't atone me from the corporeal punishment for my actions (I could still got to jail for committing a crime, and simply being forgiven by Christ isn't enough to get me out of it) but it does make up for it in the eyes of God.
No. God doesn't punish us for the sins of others.
It's in the 10 Commandments. Either they mean something or they don't.
So to know guilt of something past deed is to be a true follower of Christ?
Not a perfect life but I don't feel guilty of whatever things i have done in the past for me to chatise myself.I find it rediculous to even try to lead a perfect life because it is always inevitable to have series of regrets,no matter if you obsess it or try to make corrections,you will still have regrets of something else.
What? Guilt is not an indicator of being saved.
If you haven't led a perfect life, then you need to be saved and forgiven by Christ in order to meet God's standards.Not a perfect life but I don't feel guilty of whatever things i have done in the past for me to chatise myself.I find it rediculous to even try to lead a perfect life because it is always inevitable to have series of regrets,no matter if you obsess it or try to make corrections,you will still have regrets of something else.
Why do i need to be saved?It is just regret and then i just move on.On some occasion,i don't feel regrettable at all.
I don't care of some standard of a fiction of some imaginary entity.I am human not some standard of some particualar ideal (God and religion)that was created by man.
When you do something wrong, then you deserve to be punished, right? Being saved by Christ get's you out of having to be punished for your sins.
Depend on what the wrongs that I have committed.I mean that what wrongs,the moral; or the temporal; or somewhat both?
Out of what punishment?
Moral wrongs which occur in a corporeal reality.
The just punishment God would give you for your sins.
I'm sorry? Could you please rephrase? That sentence/paragraph didn't make much sense.Unless your saying that Jesus got somekind of "get-out-of-jail" free card as long as I sincerly ask for forgiveness of my wrong-doings in the world for in order to escape eternal damnation whether something my soul goes to after death or some kind of psychosis of guilt-obsession?
