However I have not read it in quite some time I apologize for not remembering this verse, besides, many people follow the New Testament or the Quran, only a very small minority (which is still amazingly capable at committing various acts of crimes against humanity) follow the Old Testament.
The people who don't follow the old testament are cherry-pickers. If a Xian tells you that they don't, they are lying. They certainly don't forget about the 10 commandments or all the rest of them. They don't forget about the origin of sin, without that, you couldn't have the rest of the religion. They simultaneously (and quite happily) quote the old testament verses about how homosexuality is an abomination, whilst ignoring the whole, 'kill these people, rape these people, enslave these people' parts. The bible is very specific on these things

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
