The old testament is what mainly speaks of damnation, owning slaves, and the vegfullneess of God and became the old testament when the new testament was written after Jesus came and died for our sins and then the entire tone of the Bible changed this is obvious when you read the Bible front to back. as it say in the Bible the more you are given the more you are responsible for which in turn logicaly means the less you are given the less you are responsible for, this is speeaking towards the knowledge and acceptance of the Bible so therefore a man in Africa who's only knowledge of good and bad and has no knowledge of the Bible but does his best to follow this rule he knows as right will not be damned for not believing this and many other similiar teachings are teaching of the christian faith other teaching are demented pervertions of the faith used to suit radicalist christian views, similar to the way that afghan terrorists are islam and claim to be following there religion when they commit there terrible acts when in reality Islam religion is one of the most peaceful religion on the planet so it is not fair to judge all christians based on the views and preachings of the small percentage of radicalist out there in the same way it is not fair to say all Islamic people are terrorist, the views of mainstream christianity are nowhere near what you have represented it to be.
