The Old Testament does not either counts or not.
Doesn't the OT say an eye for an eye? Doesn't say that anywhere in the NT. Quite the opposite. The New Testament goes a totally different path on several issues, and nowhere does it mention any kinds of food that shouldn't be eaten.
</b>i find it interesting that christians (incoming generalization, be warned) pick and choose as they please between the two. they took a book of one religion, said we're still gonna use this part and this part, but gonna get rid of this and this and add this new book. that just makes the whole thing seem fishy if you ask me. <b>
The commandments however (even though they are part of the OT), stand above most parts of the OT. Not like Deut.'s rules and obligations that were added alot later.

Masturbation a sin you say sbscout: where's it *say* that in the Bible? (asking, not sure but I doubt you're gonna find it)
</b> there's a story about a guy named onan (?) or something like that who "spills his seed." i think he was banging away and then pulled out, shooting it someplace other than his female recepticle. god punished him for this. so the way that's been interpreted is that wasting your man juice is against gods wishes, therefore masturbation, of which the end result is releasing the swimmers without them searching for an egg, is against His will.<b>
