For those that accept the idea, that's fine. They can't then be held accountable for what the NT says.

Many that would object to the harsh way I phrased it would still object to abiding by Paul in the NT. The vast majority would figure that listening to Moses is a waste of time, unless he says what they already believe.

I left my old church for a number of reasons. The final straw was when the pastor recommended Bible study, but issued a warning. The only legitimate reason for Bible study, he said, was to substantiate what he said; to use it to question what he said was wrong. I left the hall and haven't been back. (Of course, having moved from that town in '91, this hasn't been a real problem.)
