Has Christianity abandoned the Mosaic Law ? Part I

       RPK or Pete, the editor of Malaysia Today claims that Christian opposition
to Sharia implementation, in Malaysia, of Hudud ordinances, are the result of
Christianity abandoning the Mosaic Law.

 The Christian opposition to Hudud is not about civil liberties or democracy
 or to uphold the principles of a Secular State. It is about a denial of the fact 
that  Judeo-Christians have abandoned God’s Commandments while Muslims 
want to defend them.
    
     Pete quotes several examples to prove his point. Is it really true that Christianity
abrogated the Mosaic Law. Moreover is Islamic Sharia law then the defacto standard
for Mosaic Law. Since he mentions that Muslims i quote

'Most Muslims, not all, however, still follow what Moses taught and they still 
abide  to what God commanded. In that sense Muslims make better 
 Judeo-Christians than Jews and Christians themselves'

Leviticus 20:10
And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that 
committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall 
surely be put to 
death. (King James Version)

Deuteronomy 22:24
Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them
with stones that they die. (King James Version)

These are the verses that he quotes against adultery. Lets examine what it says and 
compare it to what his holy book says.

[4:15]   Those who commit adultery among your women, you must have four 

witnesses  against them, from among you. If they do bear witness, then you shall

keep such women in their homes until they die, or until GOD creates an exit for

 them.

[4:16]   The couple who commits adultery shall be punished. If they repent 

and reform, you shall leave them alone. GOD is Redeemer, Most Merciful.

[4:17]   Repentance is acceptable by GOD from those who fall in sin out of 
ignorance, then repent immediately thereafter.  GOD redeems them. GOD is 
Omniscient, Most Wise

 The Quran is ambiguous. It does not quote, paraphrase or mention, anything similar
to the Tanakh. It just says the women is to be kept in their homes until they die or the 
couple shall be punished. 

Now, lets look at the New Testament and see if it is true of what Pete says

'Christians argue that Jesus abrogated these laws, as the excuse, and they 
quote the New Testament as the so-called ‘evidence’
 

⁵³ Then they all went home, 8 ¹ but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

² At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered 
around  him, and he sat down to teach them. ³ The teachers of the law and the 
Pharisees brought  in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before
 the group ⁴ and said to Jesus, 
“Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. ⁵ In the Law Moses
 commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” ⁶ They were using 
this question as a trap,
  in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. ⁷ When 
they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one
 of you who is without 
sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” ⁸ Again he stooped down and wrote on 
the ground.
⁹ At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, 
until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. ¹⁰ Jesus straightened 
up and asked her,
 “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
¹¹ “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

~ John 7:53-8:11

I suggest that one read this passage several times. Does Jesus say, he 
abrogates the Mosaic Law, in any manner ?  Yes or No. If i believe that 
Jesus is Almighty God. That  is my prerogative as a Christ follower. If 
he is Almighty God, does he not have the Power and Authority to forgive
or pardon a Sin. Kapish ( “lei capisce”) ?
