Why can't Christians say that parts of the Old Testament don't apply??..

It,s not cherry picking some of the OT laws do not apply to christianity as a matter of fact they were given to show the need of Christ as savior. Adam and Eve could not keep the only law given them and no one has ever keep all the 10 commandments, we're a pretty sorry lot.

John 1:1-5 These verses tell us that Christ was with the Father in the begining and that all things were made through Him. (Jesus was there at the start of creation)

Genesis 1:1-3 These verses tell us that the Father and Holy Spirit were present at the begining. Those eight verses show the Trinity has always been.

Genesis 3:22 God says,"Behold the man has become like us knowing good and evil. Here God the Father refers to the Son and Holy Spirit.

The ancient Hebrews were polytheistic. I don't know if you noticed that Yahweh's curious habit of referring to himself by the royal we abruptly ended after Genesis.

Yeah, Yahweh seems to have been a fairly minor god in the Canaanite pantheon and may have been a local deity in Judah or at least the desert regions of the south. When Jerusalem grew around the 8th century BCE he may have gotten a promotion.

NonStampCollecter (YouTube) needs to do a video on Yahweh's story of his rise from rags to riches. He had his modest start as a small member of a pantheon of some insignificant tribe, bullied by the other gods with much cooler names (ZEUS! ... RA! ... ODIN! ...(nerd voice) Yahweh), he rose to become the sole owner of the biggest religion franchise in the world.
