Naturally.
Remember, everything I'm saying here isn't exactly 'objective.' Its what I believe.

Another explaination is that each person interpreting god's directions was influenced by their own personal and societal predjudices and needs. In the old testament they seemed to live almost a nomadic existence and had to act swiftly for transgressions as it was a matter of survival. Now with a more modern society we are able to be more concerned with the nicities and don't have to use an eye for an eye justice.

Not only nomadic, but they couldn't find salvation on their own. A priest was appointed by God to wash away their sins every year. They sacrificed thousands of animals each year for this.
Now, we can find salvation on our own, because of Jesus Christ, and that fact that we can confer directly with the Holy Spirit, who will lead us to God.
