Just a couple of comments.
Pre-marital sex. At the time the rules against it were prevalent, most marriages were arranged, and the vast majority of people were married before they reached their late teens. Now most people don't get married until well into their twenties, and marrying younger is regarded as unwise. A LOT of other rules have been tossed by Christians because times have changed, why not this one?
Jefferson Bible. Way more convincing to doubters than the regular Bible, doesn't involve swallowing camels. Any particular reason Jefferson's version isn't regarded as adequate for Christianity?
