Perhaps you should read about how Christ said "I am the new law", basically saying to do as he taught.

Perhaps you should do some more studying, as I have done, before you question why someone feels the way they do.
I actually have participated in bible study. I believe there were over 100 gospels that existed and only 4 made it to the Bible.

Much of the New Testament is "Paulinian" either written by Paul or others who shared his views. I believe there is still some debate over what exactly was actually written by Paul.

I'm not sure how "I am the new law" fits into this.

I don't claim to be an expert Bible scholar. My only point is how can you only accept certain "portions" of a given religion and still consider yourself a member of said religion?

It's not wrong to question something that you may possess an ignorance of. That's how you learn new things. I wasn't cutting you down - only questioning your "selective" approach to Christianity.
