First in civil state. Today the Church is under the New Covenant not the Mosaic Covenant. The significance of Christ for our moral reflection is not exhausted by using the example provided by his life. We cannot employ Scripture very well in ethics unless we also know him as the Fulfiller of the Old Testament law and prophets. For this fulfillment brought with it a significant alteration, so that we can no longer use the Mosaic law-code, for example, as a guide in the sense outlined in 2.2.
Regulations dealing with Israel's sacrificial worship no longer specify our worship.
This applies even more to the Mosaic penal code which stipulates capital punishment for more than twenty crimes. . . I could write more but I need to rest.
