Therefore, why would you abandon the OT selectively or at all?
Because Paul gave them license to wipe their asses with Jesus' (and all Jews') holy scripture. If some part of the OT is congenial to them, they'll embrace it. As for the rest, they either disregard it or pay it lip service, which only goes to show that they don't understand the first fucking thing about the man they claim to worship and adore.
Precisely: Selecting the parts they think should apply to them and ignoring the rest. It's like the ones who quote Leviticus against marriage equality but ignore the rest because it's inconvenient for them.
