Not all of Christ's commands are as fuzzy-wuzzy as you'd like to think. Following those requires cherry-picking just like following any part of the bible does.
How about when he commands his disciples to bring non-believers before him to be slain? The command to leave your family and all your earthly possessions, and also to hate your whole family? Then there's his actions...I'm still toying with the idea of disrupting bingo night at somebody's church by going through cracking a whip and flipping tables, shooting about how they've turned Gaud' s house into a den of gambling and shame.
Point being: JZ Christie isn't quite the nice guy your kids' Sunday school class would have you believe. Some of his commands wouldn't get you into MY heaven, that's for sure.

Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
