Oh sure, there's Christians who ignore half their own book as well. I'm perfectly fine with that... except I'm sure you also think I deserve eternal torture. I can feel the love radiating out from you. I'm sure your voting record also involves your love of "sexual deviants" like myself.
Again, you seem to be confused. The bible represents 2 religions not one. As the laws and precepts found in the OT are not compatible with the laws and precepts found in the New, and vise versa. An OT jew is an OT jew because he follows the laws and precepts of OT judism. Did you know there are currently NO Practicing OT Jews left?
Like wise a NT Christian is a NT Christian because he practices and follows the laws and precepts of NT Christiianity. So why doesn't a NT Christian have to follow said laws? Technically he does if like the OT jew his righteousness came from how closly he could live under the law. But, here's the thing as a NT Christian we are not judge by how we live by the law, but by how Christ lived by the law, because God is judging Christ's acts in place of ours when we put on the atonement offered by Him. We take off our sin and christ wears/wore them (on the cross/That is what that was all about) and He gives us His righteousness in return to wear before God in our final judgement.
So again, two completely different religions, two completely different ways God looks at those people under that covenant.
I personally do not have any inclination to judge if or how long you will remain in Hell, however ever I completely support whatever God decides.
