Why are so many Christians confused?

they mistake the laws of moses (ceremonial laws, circumcision, feasts) for God's Law. Moses' law is the shadow of things to come, this is the law that Christ nailed to the cross. i know what most of you are going to say, but paul also wrote Rom.3:31, 7:12

    A question for you.... You call them Moses law..... who gave those laws to Moses? So ultimatley who is the author of those laws?

    The sacrificial laws were a shadow of things to come. The shedding of blood pointed to the shedding of Christ's blood. That was the ultimate sacrifice. That is the "law" that was replaced or nailed to the cross.

    I guess I am confused being a dumb christian. I was under the delusion that the Law as it stands today (intact in all it requirements) . is very important to the Church. It's purpose is to show how far from God we are and therefore our need for Christ to save us... This idea seems to fit so well with all parts of the Word that I was dumb enough to fall for it... Trouble is I'm dumb enough to stand my ground too.... Jim

    Leaders and politicly affiliated preachers have done everything they could to make it complicated. Faith in God is siimple: it means you believe in God.

    Vote for Joe Blow and be saved. Ya, right! They got people so confused with the complication, some idiots actually fall for just that.

    Well, just look at them.

    They believe in a nonsensical religion that is really a composite of stolen bits and pieces of OTHER peoples' religion, and call that the gospel truth.

    No wonder they're confused.

    I think dezmond got it right-just like the Israelites in the desert-they would rather someone else figure it out and just tell them. This is why we have so many cults and screwed up churches.

    No one knows God, they only know what someone else said they heard.

    Because religion is completely man-made and for the most part makes no sense, and can be proven false in almost every case by science.

    may be because the God is also confused, first He had made old testament, then revised the old one with the new one. May be next time, He will make the newest called post modern testament bible

    when a person asks the "why" question, he is considered confused. just like these person. why the christians are confused. it is because the asker might not realize he is confusing himself by thinking that other would beleive he is not the confusing individual who knows how to stir confusion and thinks he knows that christians are really confused. are you now?

    Confused because they go on hearsay, instead of personal study.
