I've never quite understood where exactly Jesus stood, or would have us
stand, regarding the older Law of Moses the Jews were to follow. On the
one hand he was accused of breaking the Sabbath and that sort of thing,
but he also said every word of the law should be kept. Where are we to
draw the line and say this is no longer necessary, but this must remain?

It seems that question plagued Paul as he ministered to the non-Jews. He
stresses following what we believe as regards keeping the sabbath,
eating "unclean"animals, & that, yet also says we should be careful not
to cause anyone else to turn away because of our "freedom in Christ."

How can we reconcile that freedom with the responsibility not to offend
another believer?
