The Jesus character when you consider he is also God in human form, means you cannot separate him from the OT or end times God......... The middle of the book where he is less of a dick, is just like when a spouse beats the shit out of their partner, then buys them flowers and tells them they are sorry, then goes right back to beating the shit out of them again.
Just the demand to leave your family and friends and co workers if they don't follow Jesus as he commands in in the NT is a form of mental abuse and blackmail. Nobody has the right to tell me who to associate with. That demand alone takes away my own autonomy and decision making.
