"Jesus does not mention the list of 28 “thou shall nots” in Leviticus 18 through 20, but chooses instead to echo the rare positive quote of Leviticus 19:18: “You must love your neighbor as yourself.” The longest single passage he quotes is from Isaiah 61 (in Luke 4:18-19): “The Spirit of the Lord has been given to me. He has anointed me to bring good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives, and to the blind new sight, to set the downtrodden free, and to proclaim a year of favor from the Lord.” But Jesus plays fast and easy, as they say, and quotes selectively! He appears to have deliberately omitted the last line—“and the day of vengeance of our God” (Isaiah 61:2b)—because he does not believe in a God of vengeance at all."
The ones who are using the Bible as their guide instead of the Comforter sent in Christ's name to guides us to the Truth God has "written in our hearts." I love Jer's illustration of it:
You would not know anything about Jesus without the Scriptures.
If we Christians acted more like Christ, and were less hateful and judgmental, and loved like we were supposed to love - there probably wouldn't be anti-Christian bigots.
Christians don't promote vile language.
Only smear campaigns do.
Think of it this way,
sadducces and Pharisees were the politicians of their time.
And divination was practiced amongst themselves, greeks, and romans alike.

Of course selectively. He wasn't a madman just blurting out random Scriptures.
You say He does not believe in a God of vengeance... yet He fully understood God the Father was to inflict vengeance on Him for the sins of the world.
