Many pagans believed the statue contained the spirit of the god, was the god. A statue is a statue it is not god, we have more problem these days with structures that are not a likeness of living things, ie banks, political ideals, the god almighty dollar and people bowing down and serving them.
Leviticus, Deuteronomy are the old covenant, the old contract. Christians have the new covenant, the new contract. That is what the whole of Christianity is about, what Christ was about. No new covenant, then no new testament no Christianity we would all be Jews of the previous covenant.
Christians still have the ten commandments, but have a new interpretation of them they are viewed through the lens of love God and love your fellow man.
The laws are not there just to be obeyed, they are there for our benefit,
You don't stone people you love, you don't stone people for there own good, you don't stone people. Well some people do but they are just fucking idiots.
