How do you choose what parts to follow?
Old Testament and New Testament.
A post on another part of the forum makes me ask this. Which parts do you follow of the old testament and which ones do you not? And thusly, how do you choose?
People love to quote the parts about what the laws say about homosexuality and adultery and "Eye for an eye". But leave out the other parts like sacrificing 2 turtle doves when a female has her period. And those of you that go out to eat after church on Sunday should probably stone your server cause they are working on the Sabbath.
Seems to me that you shouldn't just be able to stick to some parts and not others. Some state that after Jesus, he did away with the old laws, but people still quote them regularly.
So, where do you draw the line? I've always struggled with this aspect. Thank you.
