Question for Christians but anyone can answer. [Spirituality & Religion]

I have a question for anyone but primarily for Christians.

(I asked three people this question and two answered. The third one keeps ignoring it and only he knows why. A couple of users said he likes me asking it cause he has a crush on me but meh I don’t know. Maybe.)

Do you read and follow every word of the Bible?

It's close to impossible for any person, Christian or not, to do it. And I am not just talking about issues of well-accepted morality. The Biblical commandments include:

Do not sow a field of yours with two different kinds of seed; and do not put on a garment woven with two different kinds of thread (Lev. 19:19).

You shall not wear cloth made from wool and linen woven together (Deut. 22:11).

There are others that are just as tough to follow.

@PowerofStories they are ot laws. the seed thing makes plant celery seeds with strawberry seeds in the same and they will kill each other. not enough resources or room

i know when you weave cloth to mix it both needs to be similar. use similar stitch type and gauge. linen needs a fine gauge, wool, on the other hand, needs larger more textured stitches.plus linen was for summer, wool for winter

most of the to laws actually make sense if you take the time to study them.

but of most important, Christ came to full fill the law and gave us only two.you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself.

@ladycae Hi and thanks for the thoughtful reply. I was reading the original question asked literally as to whether anyone can follow every word of the Bible.

@PowerofStories luckily we don't have to. the laws are interesting to study. some have health benefits especially the dietary ones and the ones about purification. others make no sense at all and others are horrific. luckily we need not follow them.

@ladycae ... so the 10 Commandments, being Old Testament laws, are superseded?
