Must We Adhere to the Torah Laws for Salvation?

[psalmist]

Many opponents of Christianity attempt to discredit it at any measure possible. Many have attacked the writings of the Apostle Paul. They claim that his statements about "ignoring" the Torah contradict the teachings of Jesus Himself

If my interpretation of this is correct, you say that Jesus chose to fulfil the laws, but then the example you give about Jesus taking the place of the calf sounds more like he wanted to replace the law... perhaps to perfect the laws? In that context I could understand that His intention was to fulfil them, rather than oppose them. But in any case it appears that there is a very fine line between the two.

Can you recommend any books or articles dealing with this particular subject? You always give me much to think about. :)

haha well in regards to this subject... i'm not exactly sure of any books... i'm just going by my own thoughts on the matter... and what is written in the Bible...

Right... but it would be helpful if you could elaborate on the example you gave about the calf. I would like to hear your thoughts.
