John 21:7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
Simon Peter was fishing naked with some other disciples. Modern Christians would find this very objectionable.
Acts 18:21 21 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this Feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
Modern Christians would object to Paul continuing to keep the Feast days found in Torah. To get around this, you will find this phrase has been omitted by modern Christians from the NASB, NIV, NRSV, etc.

The subjugation of women and slavery were passed over lightly by some writers on the understanding that the end of the world would be soon. Since that turned out not to be so, these things needed to be worked on to get them in line with other New Testament ethics.

To me, the whole what you call NT is objectionable. It makes up a religion that says G-d is not One, that G-d came to earth in human form, that it is not enough to be good (and of any religion), but this one must be practiced, Making Jesus a point of idolatry, etc.,. I could go on and on.

How about no sex before marriage, homosexuality, drunkenness and drugs, infidelity, disrespect of those in authority
God doesn't change nor do the things that make life work - man rebels and seeks himself and his fallen ways.
