The vast majority of people cherry pick God's word, likely including you. The modern translations versus what was originally written will convey different messages. For instance, an example of this is Leviticus 18:22 "You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination." With modern language, that will communicate a very specific message - male homosexual intercourse is an "abomination". However, this is not what scholars & linguists believe was the original intent. 

The original message is believed to refer to the penetration hierarchy that existed at the time. There is some debate as to whether it was the "penetrator" or the "penetrated" who is committing the abomination, and is believed to only refer to anal intercourse. This understanding has been lost to time, but it is the widely accepted interpretation from what I recall. 

God's word only provides one law - love everyone. I know many people who tend to selectively apply this rule.
