"Well that's the old testament" is a lame excuse, because it's still the same guy that is supposedly unchangingly perfect, but it is an excuse. I don't know what the jewish excuse is. It's also kind of odd how Jesus badmouths the pharisees for trying to obey the law to the letter, when there are a handful of old testament stories about how Yahweh will screw you over for not obeying to the letter.
Random guy picks up sticks on the wrong day of the week. Someone touched the ark of the covenant when it's about to fall off the wagon. Moses strikes a rock when he's only told to talk to it. Lot's wife looks back at Sodom after they were told not to. Probably more stories like that, and yet the pharisees are somehow bad for following the letter of the law instead of the spirit of the law.
You really want to follow a guy that's that petty?
