Sure, but as instruction in Christian Living (which would be the only way a charge of "cherry picking" would apply to the OP)?

The NT was all God's revelation up to the time of Christ--culminating with the birth, life, teaching, death and resurrection of God incarnate. It then provided a new framework (unlike the OT framework) whereby we could have a relationship with God and provides detailed instructions on living.
What point/justification/meaning do you think you have by going back a 1300 years before Christ to pull in some stories that were written down 600-700 years after the events and this somehow changes Christ's message on how to relate to God and live your life? It seems you are spouting atheist bullet points but don't quite know when to use them.
Why is the bible composed of both NT and OT? Apparantly the compilers thought it important.
