Why Do Christians Pick And Choose What To Follow From The Bible? by Godx(op): 11:47am On Oct 31, 2021
Why do christians pick and choose what to follow from the bible rather than following the whole thing?
Why exactly do christians do this? Aren't christians supposed to follow the whole bible?

If they followed the things the Bible actually said, they would go to jail in 90% of countries on the planet.

Selling daughters, beating slaves, etc.

Because they don't actually care about their religion, or what it teaches. They just know that Christianity is their shield against people criticizing their terrible behavior.

It's no coincidence that the Chruch abandons teachings from the Bible right around the time that society says that those teachings are immoral or unreasonable. They've been forced to pare down their beliefs for years. It's why they have a victim complex.

You mean Church Goers not Christ Followers aka Christians.

Christ Followers know that Every Word of God IS LAW AND IT MUST BE OBEYED.

It is church goers who do cut and paste/pick and drop followership of the Bible.

Many writing here have no basis to spew their Nonsensical Nonsenses because they are not christians! A non Christian contributing here by lashing out ill words go to show how debased they are.
OLD TESTAMENT DEALT WITH ISRAEL WHICH WAS AND STILL IS A NATION WITH THE LAW OF MOSES AS ITS RULE! THEY COULD GO TO WAR, DEFEND THEIR TERRITORIES AND ATTRIBUTE THEIR LIVES TO ANY BEING OF THEIR CHOICE. FORTUNATELY, THEY HAD YAHWEH-ELOHIM AS THEIR GOD.
The Church occupies much of The New Testament with love as its guilding principle. The Church follows Jesus Christ.
The Bible has not changed. Only the Covenants and testators that changed.
JESUS CHRIST WASN'T A FORNICATOR DESPITE WHAT THE SATANIC, LIBERAL, LEFTIST WRITERS HAVE LYINGLY WRITTEN.
JESUS CHRIST NEVER KILLED ANY ONE LIKE SOME RELIGIOUS FOUNDERS HAVE DONE!
JESUS CHRIST TAUGHT AGAINST IMMORALITY, STEALING, LYING, HATRED, FRAUD, CRIMINALITY, ETC!
�Yes, Christians don't follow all Bible instructions because of the times, reasons, scope and spirit of the instructions.
Many who rush to quickly comment on Christian matters are usually novices who most times enemies of the church which makes them capital hypocrites because their religions do a million worse things than can be found in Christianity.

What did Jesus teach about ransacking a temple,flogging it's people and destroying their source of livelihood because they have a different view than yours?

Didn't Jesus say this: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." sad
How about when he finally gets to destroy his enemies in his second coming?

It is true that many approach the Bible as if a recipe book or book of spells, and they do it out of ignorance. The Bible is not the Word of God - Jesus Christ is - but the bulk of the stories written are meant to help lead those interested into a deeper knowledge of who God is. undecided

Christians aren't meant to "follow" the whole Bible. No, Christians are instead meant to follow God's Word, Jesus Christ, God's Law - the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ- the New Covenant for the Kingdom of God. undecided

1. The temple He ransacked belonged to the God of Israel and His message, which He made clear enough for all to hear, was mainly to those who were put in charge of it - the same authorities who allow it become a den of thieves in order to fill their pockets with gold. undecided

2. I don't even follow what you are saying there. The Old Covenant Law of Moses remains active to this very day and still binds from birth all those born of the blood of Jacob - those the Law was created for, this by God Himself- Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20. undecided

3. The enemies who He comes to destroy are those who believe in Him but refuse to obey Him - they too belong in the Kingdom of God. undecided
