He continued, “But how many times have you seen Christians trying to post the text of the sermon on the mount in a public place?

Did He ever suggest the Ten Commandments were irrelevant, outdated and replaced by a single new one? “Participants in the new covenant are expected to obey the single command Jesus issued as part of his new covenant: as I have loved you, so you must love one another.” ![]()
