According to Christianity, the Torah law that God gave to Moses at Mount Sinai has been abolished and superseded by faith in Jesus. However, the Archbishop of Canterbury (head of the Anglican Church) has now found a law that he believes the whole world must obey. It's not a law that was given by God -- it is whatever laws the anti-Semites at the International Court of Justice pull out of their tuchus.
(By the way, if you know any faithful Christians who are inclined to agree with the Archbishop, tell them "Just remember, no one ever said 'The Lord has spoken through his servant Justin.'")

The Church of England's spiritual head urged governments on Friday to respect the findings of the United Nations top court that Israel's 'occupation' of the West Bank is illegal, saying the law should not be upheld in a "selective manner."
The International Court of Justice (ICJ), known as the World Court, said in an advisory opinion last month the occupation should be withdrawn as soon as possible. It is not binding but carries weight under international law.
At the time, Israel's foreign ministry rejected the opinion as "fundamentally wrong" and one-sided. There was no immediate reaction to the Archbishop of Canterbury's comments on Friday.
Justin Welby - who also heads the worldwide Anglican Communion - said in a statement the ICJ opinion had made it clear the 'occupation' is "unlawful" and must end.
"At a time when the world is marked by increasing violations of international law ... it is imperative governments around the world reaffirm their unwavering commitment to all decisions by the ICJ, irrespective of the situation," Welby said.He did not spell out how governments should react, but said
he prayed that UN member states would make their actions consistent with the ruling.Welby said it was clear to him from many visits in recent decades the "system of military rule" imposed by successive Israeli governments in occupied Palestinian territories was one of "systemic discrimination."
The ICJ case stems from a 2022 request for a legal opinion from the United Nations General Assembly that predates the war in Gaza which began in October.
Hamas terrorists stormed across the border into Israeli communities on Oct. 7 and, according to Israeli tallies, killed more than 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took 253 into captivity.
