Series: Denominational Mythbusters

Introduction:  It is important to distinguish between the law of the Old Testament and New Testament.  The failure to do so is a source of much religious division.  So, let's expose this common denominational myth:  "The Old Testament is Just as Binding as the New Testament."

Questions discussed in the lesson:

1.  According to Jesus in Matthew 5:17-18 what needed to happen before the old law would be replaced?

2.  In the book of Acts, what controversy arises after the first Gentiles are converted to Christ?  What does this issue have to do with our topic today?

3.  Looking at the book of Galatians, when would the "law"come to an end and what was its purpose?

4.  What does Hebrews 8:6-7 say about the "first" covenant?

5.  What are some common issues where the Old Testament is cited as a justification for a practice?
