  And that is why they crucified him, The Old Testament Repeatedly says “Be a dick against gays, infidels and non-virgin women who are not your wife.”

    But even the new testament says to fear god, why would a all loving god want us to fear it? The abrahamic god is not all loving at all

  Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

    The law of the prophets was a costly covenant between old-testament god and humanity. Or, you know, whatever subgroup was in charge of translations at the time.
    The “fulfillment” mentioned is a single lump sum of holy lamb blood in place of the never-actually-complete exchange of not wearing blended fabrics, not getting tattoos, and sacrificing your firstborn on a rock in the mountains. And slaughtering prisoners of war who you tricked into getting circumcised as a condition of their surrender so that they would be vulnerable.

    Matthew, particularly, was so obsessed with this idea that he made up new scriptures that didn’t exist.
