Brother Strange, surely you jest. Do you really believe that nothing has changed from the Old Testament (OT) to the New Testament (NT)? Well let’s look….
OT: Mostly types and shadows of what was to come
NT: Jesus completes and explains that all is written of Him
OT: Physical Tabernacle and Temple were built
NT: Man becomes the Temple of God
OT: Man has a hardened heart
NT: Man is given a new heart
OT: God’s commands are written on tables of stone
NT: God’s commands are written on a believer’s heart
OT: One man, the High Priest, approaches God once a year
NT: All believers are priests having equal access to God at all times
OT: God calls a nation of people to Himself
NT: God calls men of all nations to Himself
OT: Mostly about the Law of God
NT: Mostly about the grace of God
OT: A God, whose glory no man could behold
NT: A God, whose glory men beheld and handled
OT: Animal blood was shed for man’s sins
NT: God’s own blood was shed for man’s sins
OT: Men strived for salvation through the letter
NT: Men received salvation through the Spirit
Shall I go on? So, Brother Strange, is it just that God is the same God in the OT and NT, or that things changed from the OT to the NT?
Now, my original question you have YET to answer. Let’s try again; using your reasoning that all things are the same, are we still to kill disobedient children by stoning? Remember, this is from the same One God.

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: (19) Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; (20) And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. (21) And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
