Leaving out parts you don't like?

There is a part in Leviticus that says when the woman is on her monthly cycle, she should stay in her own part of the house and be concidered unclean til 7 days after she's done. I guarantee no one does this.

I'm sure many people will choose not to follow some things stating "That was a different time back then, we don't have to do that anymore."
I would consider that selective. If you're going to say that the whole book is truth and the word of God, then you need to be following all of it. It sounds awfully important.

I try to follow all of it as it is cause all the bible is a personal msg for me & every word in it does mean sth diffrent for my life. In case of that I read something and found it difficult to apply, I start praying God 2 give me the ability to apply this thing in my life

No, I read it as it is written. Sometimes it is very tempting to "self" translate to boost my ego or prove my point. Ultimately though, I'd be the one answering for it, to the author Himself.

Those who say "no" to this question are liars.
