So yeah, distill it down to the man the new testament is mainly about, the man that overturned stoning and other non-loving "laws" and preached love, and you get a less contradictory guide to follow.

But you see? You've distilled the word in order to reconcile your discomfort with your faith. You've basically taken your own spin on things, picked and chosen what best seems to fit with what is comforting. Though you tried to pick wisely, you DO choose to ignore the old testament which does not excuse Yewey for his behavior in the past. You decide that Jesus is the only thing worth holding on to, but you're willing to ignore the actions of Yewey.
Not only that, there are SEVERAL quotes of what Jesus himself had said in that list that is also contradictory. What answers do you have for that?
