There is every reason to think that. Jesus himself supported the OT, the flood, the Law. Why do you choose to ignore that?
The bible contradicts itself, even in the OT, EP. How do you know which is truth? Why do you choose to ignore the 'good', in favor of the 'bad'?
Christ corrected many 'misunderstandings' of the law... or many laws that were given BECAUSE of the hard-heartedness of the people. Such as the law on divorce. Why is it so hard to apply the lesson learned from that to all the other things that seem to contradict the teachings and example of Christ?
I look to Christ, alone. He is who I learn from. That means having to check a lot of baggage at the door (Christ), and I still have to do it. Everything that we have been fed, through religion, through which scriptures are allowed and how they are read, through men, through media, through tradition and doctrine that take lives of their own... all of that should leave us with our heads spinning, and it does so often.
But Christ, otoh, looking just at Him is so simple. Too simple for some to accept, perhaps?
Narrow path = Christ
All those other things are distractions from that path, calling and shouting out as you walk along, tripping you up.
