      You’d have to ignore a fair bit of the old and the new to get there, Jesus said he hadn’t come to abolish any of the old law and he is recorded to have spoke about hell more than any other topic.

      The early Christians weren’t really happy with the new religious literature they had at the time, so they agreed to remove specific parts. The remaining books were largely incompatible with the older ones, but they clearly weren’t aiming for a consistent collection anyway. As a result, we got a book series with all sorts of twists and turns.
