Just a reply to the poster above regarding the New Testament scriptures.
Mathew 5: 18-19 - This is the Sermon on the Mount. During the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Specifically over-wrote the "old laws" with new laws. He even lists them. Read up on this a little and read the entire chapter. It explains all this.
Luke 16:17 - Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees at this point. Jesus just finished giving the parable of the Steward teaching about service for others before he said this. Read up on this a little more.
Mathew 5:17 - Keep in mind that 'fulfill' also means to bring an end to or complete. Again, this is part of the Sermon on the Mount I explained above.
Timothy 3:16 - I see nothing wrong here. Scriptures used for instruction inrighteousness.
This is all I have time for tonight. I have chess games to play.
Christians believe in and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. These teachings take place in the New Testament. Whoever says Christians must follow the Old Testament does not know the scriptures all that well. Jesus Christ himself came and over-wrote the Law of Moses.
I suppose you can interpret the scriptures however you want. I see no contradictions here. I don't have time now to go in depth on these though. Perhaps some other time.
