... anything beyond that just depends on denomination.
As for the New Testament stuff, very very few Christian denominations follow a completely literal interpretation of every single thing in the bible. Even New Testament. Christianity is not based on a word for word literal interpretation of every single thing written in the bible.
Yeah, cafeteria christians. I said that earlier.
Thats exactly my point though. They are specifically NOT cafeteria christian, because christianity itself is not based in a word for word literal interpretation of the bible. If you think it is, you have a very very poor understanding of Christianity.
"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."
