If there was a misinterpretation of what God was like during OT times, shouldn't Christians be attempting rewrite...oh, nevermind, you're fine with reinterpretation that suits your agenda.
There is no need to rewrite, imho. We can just follow the teachings of Jesus. Christianity defines itself by the New Testament... the Gospels, the life/examples of Jesus, etc. We are not bound by OT laws.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
