there is a difference between rejection...and questioning/further investigation...there is a difference between accepting the words you hear coming directly out of the mouth of jesus christ himself...and blindly accepting the words as reinterpreted today...i have heard the "pick and choose arguement" many times to justify ignorance...2 Timothy 2:15 - Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth...

it's kind of like the game telephone...by the time it gets to the last person it has been muddied and suited to the minds of the communicators (kind of like that pick and choose arguement you used) and has lost some of its original authenticity...
