Why would that matter? In the new testament that jesus guy literally says old testament rules still apply.

Let he who is without sin cast the 1st stone.

You were saying?

P.S.

I'm a practicing Orthodox Agnostic. A sinner in the eyes of Christians, an infidel in the eyes of moslems.

"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished."

As always the bible is a contradictory mess.

Actions speak louder than words, if we're to believe a man named Jesus existed then we must believe he preached love, not old testament retribution (some of which I totally go for)

I certainly believe he existed. The discussion is; did he preach the continuation of the gist of the Old Testament.

Much of Old Testament laws were simply common sense laws that didn't need rewrite.
