(1,159 posts)Given the number of sects and off-shoots within the already varied denominations, the many Bible versions and the thousands of interpretations, re-interpretations and revisions of its texts, the Bible has become a buffet to be cherry-picked at-will. When Christians need to justify their visceral hate of homosexuals, for example, they engorge themselves on the Old Testament.
Ive read the whole KJ Bible several times but I prefer Greek mythology, and I know right from wrong without guidance from Moses, Jesus, Vishnu, Zeus, or Russells almighty teapot.
Anyway, here is an article on Jesus affirmation of the Old Testament. All may freely cherry-pick and re-interpret to their hearts desire.
