What I often have trouble grasping is the huge contradictions in christian law/beliefs. Let me cite a few for you now. (cited list elided).
It has always seemed to me that the difference between the old and new is a defining characteristic of Christianity.
What strikes me a contradictory, is that fundamentalists and other conservative Christians emphasize so much of the old, and ignore so much of the new. I sometimes wonder whether there is anything at all Christian about a religion that so ignores the teachings of Jesus, and so emphasizes the older Jewish traditions that Jesus was opposing.
