This is the Problem

That non-Christians think that the Old Testament is a Christian text and true believers of Christ are somehow bound to it by letter.
OT was a Jew law and does not apply to Christ believers anymore. That does not mean we can use the good things from it and discard the rest. I believe in the 10 commandments - does not mean I have to follow the OT.

Yet Jesus, if he existed, was an itinerant Jewish Rabbi, and he supposedly said that he had come to enforce the law, not to change it.
I notice you've conveniently ignored many of the awkward questions in the other thread.

Without the old testament, there would be no original sin and therefore no need for jesus. At what point does jesus say: 'ignore the old testament, I don't know what my dad was thinking, here is a revision of the 614 commandments. P.S. No more slaverly, its wrong.' You are a cherry picker. Your own morality and conscience won't allow you to continue following your religion with all of its frankly evil orders and messages. Most xians get by this by simple being unaware of it. You, on the other hand, choose to just overlook it.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

Not to mention Jesus IS God, so if jesus says the OT isn't mandatory, he's rendering all of his own previous divine instructions irrelevant. What a flip flopper.

Heretics and apostates ARE NOT SAVED themselves !!!

Sometimes God has to do things just to show who is in command to stop humans from seeing themselves as superior and fearless.
