Even the doctrines that advocated for genocide, allowed slavery, and  condemning eating shellfish or wearing certain fabrics?

Do you really not see the problem with putting those three things in a list together like that?

Then you are probably missing my point, which I just addressed too. How can everything in the Bible be "true" if it says genocide and slavery are ok, but eating shellfish and wearing clothes of mixed fabric is not? Like, do you not see the disconnect there? Do you not see the point?

This, I think, is a question that would be better posed to an Orthodox Jew than to a disproportionately either Catholic or atheist online religion subforum.

Also, how important is the Hebrew part of the Bible to most Christians. Do you have to take any of it literally to be a Christian?

The mere suggestion that this question is worthy of serious discussion is etc. etc. etc.

"Hebrew part of the Bible" is an expression that sounds dangerously likely to be followed by some stupid argument about homosexuality or shellfish.

Or (((Hebrew part of the Bible))). Or both.
