Do you also keep the sabbath, or do you operate machinery on Saturdays? Keep kosher? Follow all of the 10 commandments? If you're going to follow the old testament, you shouldn't pick and choose which parts you follow. |
There is nothing wrong with the old testament. Exodus 21 is just what came to mind. The old testament is still law, but we are not as closely bound to it as the early followers. But like most laws today, some are very veg and you need to use common since as to what you can and cant do with in that law.
2 Timothy 3:16

16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness |
So just b/c the old testament may be old, dose not mean you don't have to follow it. Such as Exodus 20:13-16

13 You must not murder.
14 You must not commit adultery.
15 You must not steal.
16 You must not testify falsely as a witness against your fellowman. |
Those are some one the bases for our laws today. So its not okay to follow them just b/c they are in the old testament? As I said, people today are not as bound to it as people of before. Ill get a little more into detail on this maybe a little later.
