I'm currently reading the New Testament and plan on reading the Old Testament once I am finished. I've always been a skeptic of supposed 'sacredness' of the Old Testament strictly because it is chocked full of twisted things, such as those mentioned in this video. But regardless of whether or not it is God's word, Christians maintain that the OT is to be disregarded. The new covenant between God and man is centralized in the person of Jesus Christ, who taught that above all, we should love our neighbors (meaning we should love everyone). So any Christian is going to tell you that the passages in the OT are irrelevant. What matters now is the teachings of Christ.
That being said, the narrator only mentions a few passages from the New Testament. In Matthew 18:8, Jesus talks about gouging out an eye or casting off a foot if it causes you to sin. All he is saying here is this: don't sin! The analogy of the eye or foot is symbolic of sacrifice. We all must make sacrifices if we are to shy away from sin. The pubescent male may not wish to give up pornography, but it is better for him to sacrifice this worldly pleasure now than to let it lead him away from God. So he doesn't need to cut off his hand to refrain from masturbation. Rather, he needs to make a personal sacrifice to shy away from sin.
The next verse the narrator mentions is in 1 Corinthians 14:34. I just read this passage a couple weeks ago and highlighted it because I found it shocking as well. The verse says that women are not permitted to speak in churches (it goes as far to say it's shameful if a woman does). There are also a few other passages in the NT that seem to come off as sexist. However, the NT also makes it clear that man and woman alike are equal in the body of Christ. Case in point:
"You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Galatians 3:26-29
Strangely, Paul the apostle is the man who wrote both Galatians and Corinthians, so he seems to be contradicting himself. I won't pretend to understand why he makes such a contradiction, but there are plenty of verses in the NT that express equality among men and women.
Next we come to Titus 2:9. The verse basically says slaves should be obedient and loyal to their masters. It would be quite natural for a slave to resent or hate his master (obviously, a slave is unhappy with his/her status). But this is exactly what Jesus instructed us not to do. We are supposed to love our neighbors, even our enemies. So no matter how terribly a slave is treated, he should remain obedient and not resent his position. I know this sounds insane and impossible to do, but think of what Jesus went through. As he was being tortured and crucified, he said things like "forgive them, they know not what they do." Even though he was tortured and hated by these people, he was still full of love for them.
Hope this helps.
