But if you throw out the old testament you get rid of the 10 commandments and original sin... Without original sin Jesus's sacrifice means nothing. You can't have Christianity without the old testament. And according to Jesus not a jot or tittle of the old testament was to be changed. Things that make you go hmmm 🤔
Christianity isn't like Islam: few of us believe our scripture is the perfect, verbatim word of God. I recognize the bible as being inspired by God, but also written by fallible humans and is therefore subject to the full spectrum of human error in it's initial record, compilation, translation and interpretation.
You can follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and have a fellowship with Jesus Christ, without the need for splashing bird blood on the walls of your home (Leviticus 13) or murdering strangers for working on Saturday (Numbers 15:32-36).
