And it isn't ignoring Levitical law, New Testament doctrine clearly teaches that Christians are under a new law, and not the old Levitical laws. I hear far too many people cite that as "cherry picking" by Christians, but it would actually be misunderstanding of Christian doctrine on the part of the one making that claim.

I'll concede that 'ignore' was a poor word choice. But given the new law brought on by JC, was there a nice index of what laws still count? How else does one define which laws about killing, hating people, menstrating or tattooing, should still be followed? Or when a Christian cites Levitical law, is it not "cherry picking" based on their own opinions?

And sheesh, YHWH sure spent a lot of time and ink on laws for him to thrown them all away a few centuries later. Seems inefficient. I wonder if Moses resents all the copying he had to do?
