If you are trying to understand Christianity then I suggest you move on to the New Testament. Christianity is by definition about following Jesus Christ. He was born Jewish so there is a Jewish background to Christianity, and that background is in the Old Testament and is what you are reading in Deuteronomy. You are reading about Judaism. Christianity itself stands or falls by the New Testament. And yes, it doesn't apply anymore because Jesus gave new commandments and said the old laws didn't apply any more.

You mention stoning to death as a punishment under Jewish law. In the New Testament, as I recall, Jesus intervened in exactly such a punishment and prevented it by challenging the people. 'Let he who has never sinned cast the first stone.' Nobody had the nerve to face him and claim to be sinless, so the execution was off. It was Jesus who came up with the 'Love your neighbour as yourself'.

Basically, the Old Testament is very judgemental and about following strict laws. Christ's teachings in the New Testament are more about compassion and thinking for yourself about what is right and wrong.

Roughly speaking.

The old testament is the bit from before Christ was born.

The new testament is after Christ was born.

So the new testament is the bit Christianity is based on.

Religion is/will be/has been a form of control, god was created by man to gain power and it's a shame I won't be around to see the fall of religion.
