    Jesus used the Pharisees not stoning children in their teenage angsty phase as a gotcha-argument for their hypocrisy. (Mark 7 and I forget which in Mat tell that story.)

    Jesus literally said the law code that explicitly endorsed taking and keeping foreigners as slaves- and their children, too, is eternal and perfect and will always be in force.

    The same law code that allows men to sell their daughters as sex slaves, and requires murdering women who were raped if they didn’t call out; or the murder if newly married women if they didn’t bleed when their much older husband knocked them up the first time, (you probably don’t know, roughly half of women don’t bleed the first time. So they were murdering innocents. Which is why the Pharisees dropped that.)

    Jesus was not a cool dude. He was an iron age fundamentalist trying to bring back a Bronze Age moral system.

    He was seen every bit as backwards as evangelicals are seen today.
