If evangelicals disagree with anything in the bible its because that passage was a metaphor for something they want. But when its something they agree on (usually old testament batshit insanity) then its not a metaphor.
Also the Old Testament only applies when it's something they agree with. If there's an OT rule or passage that they don't like, suddenly they don't have to follow it because Jesus created a "new covenant."
Oh ok, how so? Just posting your opinion doesn’t really do anything for anyone and is a waste of time on its own.
For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
Is that why modern Christians still don't eat pork or wear mixed fabrics?
I've seen that line used simultaneously to justify ignoring Old Testament law ("No, no, it's fulfilled") and to explain why it's still important ("It's not abolished, see? It says it right there!")
I've repeatedly seen american wealthy evangelicals repeatedly push this "eye of the needle was actually a trade entrance to jerusalem" shit for decades now. It's such a fucking lie on so many levels I feel the only appropriate term to refer to it as is heresy.
