Is it true that Christians pick and choose which laws/rules from the bible to follow?

[Lee? Queen Atheistical]

What makes it ok to take some verses literally and others figuratively ?

 

[HTacianas]

Nope. Christianity has followed the same rules from the beginning, never picking, never choosing. If you'd like a fairly complete list read the Didache.

 

[Rene O]

Christians follow the New Testament - grace. The Old Testament was written for the Jews.

 

[jrrose]

Yep.
They cherrypick their bible to death.
Anything that does not agree with their personal views they simply ignore or use the excuse "oh that was meant for the Jews, not gentiles".

They are utter hypocrites about this.

 

[Patty A]

Most of them do.

 

[tweety]

It is not OK. Many will find that out on Judgement Day.

 

[luvfades]

Those people who pick and choose aren't real christians.

 

[CalleyD]

there are only two
Love God
Love your neighbor

 

[Ooops]

There is no Rules or Laws that Christians follow. Everything was crucified in the cross itself
