Contemporary Christian of the cafeteria variety cherry pick the NEW TESTAMENT too!!
How many even strictly fundamentalist churches allow remarriage following divorce? Just about all of them. Even Catholics, supposedly strict on the topic, pass out annulments with reckless abandon, even in 'marriages' with children.
It is going to be insuperable to convince me of Christian sincerity of belief when just on that single topic, we are seeing wholesale apostasy.
How the Hell can apostates lead anyone to Salvation ??
THEY CAN'T. *
*not that salvation even exists, obviously. I'm looking at it from their viewpoint.
So, to tie this to the OP, it doesn't matter what Jesus taught. The apostates have won. Any teaching followed is of the variety of easy, or non-threatening to their way of life. Any edict, commandment, rule, or law that is any way inconvenient can be safely ignored.
