I attended private Catholic school until I was 19 years old and some of my instructors were priests. I know the bible and below you will find the justification as stated by Jesus.
You, like every other apologist, are redacting the bible in your mind and expecting that to "prove" your version is the correct version. As I told you already, this mental redaction you engage in does not mean that we can all safely ignore the murderous parts and murderous past of Christianity.
LOL, of course you are a Bible scholar--you went to Catholic school--until you were 19! I don't feel like debating someone of your stature so I am going to give you a link that explains my position good enough. http://www.ukapologetics.net/Jesusandthelaw.html
Nice appeal to authority but it won't work. For your information, there is much disagreement from actual biblical scholars so once again all your left with is your own cherry picked interpretation of which scholar you choose to believe.
Bart Ehrman is a well respected biblical scholar and thinks much of the new testament was forged. Since he is a biblical scholar, I'm sure you'll agree with him right? Right?

So, the truth remains the same: The mental redaction you engage in does not mean that we can all safely ignore the murderous parts and murderous past of Christianity.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
