Yeah, and that has always puzzled me. Christians are also very fond of claiming Jesus abrogated 603 of the 613 commandments which make up Mosaic law (ignoring Jesus' admonition given in Matthew 5:17-19)
Naturally, Christian apologists claim that verse is one of many in the Bible which doesn't mean what it says. That's the really handy thing about an authority based belief system; people will believe what ever they are told,no mater how absurd.
