following it to a t actually would make a believer a darn good person, the old testament was fulfilled through Jesus Christ and He taught some pretty good stuff. following it exact would lead to a christian that loved all, that would do anything in there power to feed the hungry and orphans, lived a morally sound life with no back stabbing or greed, a life where they didnt wave the bible in someones face and condemn them to hell as if they were God...i would say that if all christians obeyed word for word then alot of people would like us more. lol
