The pop up version is my favourite!

Okay, does it bother you that you'd do that? I mean does it disturb you that you'd be the kind of person that would do something you know is wrong just because God told you to do so? I don't see how the question has no relevance when New Testament is in constant coherence with proving the prophecy of the Old Testament, continuously referring to: "in accordance with the prophet," etc., etc., ad nauseum—the most important of which coming from the words of Jesus himself: "Do not think I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." (Matthew 5:17)

The statement was not intended as an answer to your question. There is indeed a difference in the OT and NT and that difference invalidates your question completely. The Jewish laws that Jesus rebuked the pharisees and priest about do not apply to Christians. Christ is the fulfillment of the prophesies and the law by living the perfect sinless life, dying on the cross and being raised from the grave. GC
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Which ones were those, then? Which of gods laws do not apply to christians?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
The inconvenient ones, silly! The ones about eating pig and hair length and so on!
But not the buttsecks ones, obviously.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Christ was so absolutely clear about everything!!
Praise Jesus and his non-schismatic faith and followers ! The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

But isn't torture of Jesus culmination of all inanities and violence of the Old Testament? I mean here you have a God that can't just forgive humans because in the past some guy ate from a wrong tree (who probably never even existed according to scientific observations) thereby condemning future generations of Jews to pogroms and persecution as 'Christ-killers'. We're talking about millions of people that have been killed because of NT. If God wanted to forgive our sins, why not just forgive them and skip the sadomasochism?

Though it's surprising that GC never replied to my post, a man so versed in theological studies would surely be more comfortable sharing his knowledge in Greek, the original language of christianity.
