Jesus didn't say anything about that.

He didn't say anything about homosexuality either, does that mean the Old testament laws about that still apply as well?

So are you seriously telling us that there was a time when it was morally acceptable to kill gays, and that if you had lived during that time you would have done your moral duty and executed them too?

Not to mention atheists who argue against the faith, you were supposed to kill them too. Are we to believe that if the New Testament had never existed, you would want to kill everyone in this thread?

On what? Don't stop there. If someone tries to dissuade you from the faith, the bible demands that yours be the first hand on them to put them to death. Even taking into account your claim that Jesus somehow erased the Old Testament from needing to be executed on- despite the fact that Jesus himself said that not a word of the old law would change until all had come to pass- would you not have to kill us if we had existed during that time?

Let's go back a few thousand years: is murder now moral, just because the date has changed?

So it's moral for the Israelites to put people to death for those "crimes"? Talk about moral relativism.
