Although I agree with him, he is using logic when cafeteria Christians aren't using logic. So, yeah, it makes no sense to follow nice Jesus and throw out the Old Testament. The Old Testament explains why Jesus is needed according to their religion. The bible says that god does not change so the evil god of the Old Testament is still Jesus. The problem is that Christians don't really give a flying flip about logic or what their bible says.
In the story about the Canaanite woman, Jesus does eventually cure her daughter after she begs. He doesn't make the Roman soldier beg him to cure his servant.
Matthew 8
5And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him, 6and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented." 7Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."" 8But the centurion said, "Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed
See, the Roman Centurion didn't have to plead or compare himself to a dog for Jesus to come to his house.
