That never stopped Christian fanatics from selectively mix and matching the Bible.
For so-called Christians, ALL the Old Testament stuff should no longer apply when it clashes with what Christ said (which is like all of the time).
But they still prefer the Old Testament's more barbaric and base rules than what's in the Gospels.

How about Matthew 25:35-40? How well is that going? People paying much attention to that one, or are Syrian refugees excluded from "one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine"?
Especially in light of this: http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2015/nov/17/te...
Which shows that the people fleeing are mostly Muslim. Muslims are more likely to be the victims of terrorist violence, not the perpetrators.
No. The bible says itself that those laws no longer apply.
Romans 7:6 But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.
Galatians 5:13-15 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
