The Christian moral code is an interesting one. The apostles eventually reduced it down to refraining from blood and fornication. Something likely got lost in the translations, but the blood proscription likely had something to do meat sacrificed to idols. The term fornication likely refers to any kind of sex outside of heterosexual marriage.

The Sermon on the mount was Jesus' description of morality. It values, among many other things, the golden rule, meekness, mercy, and tolerance.

>Most traditions differentiate between ceremonial, civil, and moral law. Ceremonial law was fulfilled by Jesus, the penalty for guilt under the moral law was expiated by Jesus but continues to bind the conscience of Christians, and the civil law is practical and continues to be more or less relevant depending on your point of view. Leviticus 20 is talking about civil (criminal) law, because it invokes capital punishment.
