Remember that, Catholic.
I did not say to completely ignore and disregard the OT either. Just that it is not perfect, and as you correctly alluded to above, it is incomplete.

Jesus himself debunked a major saying in the OT when he said this: "You have heard that it was said, 'AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.'[url=http://biblehub.com/matthew/5-39.htm][/url] But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also."
I posted that earlier in the thread but think it may have gotten lost in the discussion.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
