Reply #51: Do you follow all of God's commandments as outlined in the Bible?

[yardwork]

Do you follow each and every commandment, even the ones about not working on the Sabbath, not wearing clothes made with mixed fibers, not cutting your hair, not allowing women to speak in church or teach men? Are you careful to never eat dairy and meat during the same meal, much less ever eating pork or shellfish?

Do you believe that it is ok to have more than one wife and to beat your wives as long as you don't use a rod thicker than your thumb? Do you stone to death anyone you know to be divorced and remarried, especially if they are your own relatives?

Do you believe that it is ok to have slaves?

If you aren't following each and every one of the directions found in the the Old Testament and the New Testament, then how can you criticize others for "picking and choosing?"

I'm not criticizing you. I'm genuinely interested in knowing how you handle this.
