How do we know that killing those children and those Sabbath breakers (and shunning menstruating women) etc, etc, are not the "serious parts" ? If God is indeed mysterious, who are any of you, including Christians who believe in a New Covenant, to tell what are the serious bits and what aren't. Even if you believe that the law no longer applies, the evidence for that position is not 100%.1. The law never applied to Gentiles.
2. Why isn't it 100%? And, you go from "not 100%" here to "the flimsiest of pretenses" at the end of the post. Which is it, and what are your grounds for this position?
