What is the criteria for deciding what parts of the OT are only for jews so can be ignored, and which parts apply to everyone, so must be rigidly adhered to ? If there are some parts which do not apply to non-jews, why not just leave them out of the bible altogether, or at least have a preface listing the passages that do not need to be read ? Come to that, why have some other religions holy book in the bible at all ?
