A book which tells you "do X" then turns around and tells you to do the exact opposite is not a reliable guide to anything.
In the gospels Yeshua bar Yosef tells you you have to obey every jewish law (because he was, if he existed, a proto ultra orthodox Jew), but by Saul of Tarsus, you are told the Jewish laws have to be ignored. So your "perfect detector" is a self confessed muddled pile of bullshit.
No, that is not what it says at all. There are chapters and chapters about the purpose of the OT law. These fit right in with Jesus' "I have not come for abolish the law but to fulfill it". Your contradiction is imagined and just keeps gets propagated by people who don't understand the context and methods of systematic theology.
Yeah, let's ignore the fact that your perfect god is such a miserable failure at communicating clearly with his creation that even after he sends his 'final' prophet, he still royally fucked up trying to make his people understand his message. You lose at every fucking turn, dude. Give it up already. It's pathetic.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
