Of course, the silly types who chant " Acts 15!" as some kind of magical mantra that wards off moral obligation to God and His Divine Law don't actually mean what they say, since they themselves don't follow their own "reasoning" on it. They don't listen to their own words, so neither should anybody else listen to them.

The only one with faulty reasoning in this thread is you. I suppose you would have said the same to the Apostles had you been there when the incident in
Acts 15 occurred. When we receive the Holy Ghost, God writes his moral code on the tablets of our hearts. We live by the Spirit, not the letter. Because we are governed by the Spirit and love God, we behave in a certain way that conforms to God's character. We grow in grace and the knowledge of him through his word. So nobody who lives in the Spirit will be a trannie, thief, or murderer.
