The thing is that Christians want to pick and choose what they want to believe of this old book. This is exactly why there are so many sects of one religion. Here is a great quote from a great man
[Thomas Jefferson]
"...difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a common censor over each other. Is uniformity attainable? Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced an inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth."
Who made the decision that the OT no longer applies?

BTW - does the OT have disclaimer?
Also, how do you know that someday god may tell you that the NT no longer applies. Could it be that god is working on a third bible?
My guess would be, that stones now evolved into guns, no need for stoning anymore...
Unfortunately, ShepsMom, thou art a Prophet. The Story and Link below makes me fightin’ mad and I want to puke!

APPak Taliban publicly execute couple for 'illicit relations'
Sat-Apr 18, 2009
Islamabad / Press Trust of India
Taliban militants have executed a man and a woman on charges of having illicit relations, gunning down the couple in full public glare in the troubled northwest of Pakistan.
The shocking footage of the shooting incident which took place a few days back near the border of Orakzai tribal agency was made available to a Pakistani media outlet on Saturday.
The footage, aired by Dawn News Channel, showed the Taliban shooting the man, aged around 40, and a woman, who was about 45-year old, at an open space in the presence of their relatives and a large crowd.
The woman was heard appealing to the Taliban, "Have mercy on me, please have mercy; the charges against me are false and no man has ever touched me".
The militants first shot the woman by firing two bullets in her chest and later opened a burst of Kalashnikov fire at both the woman and the man. But the woman was still seen breathing, following which the Taliban yelled that she was alive and "kill her, kill her".
Sources told the channel that the Taliban had asked the relatives of the woman and the man to present the two before them for questioning at a specified place.
The relatives brought both of them to the Taliban, who killed them in cold blood.
