The love one another stuff is specifically and basically exclusively a feature of the New Testament, as are all of the passages listed here. Old Testament God was much more pro religion-based genocide and enslavement. But most Christians will tell you that the New Testament/Jesus revised the old biblical laws and messages. So any "good" Christian should be leaning on it for moral guidance, instead of the books that promote vengeance, slavery, incest, rape, murder, maiming/mutilation, etc.

Not according to jebus!

Matthew 5:17-18 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.”

Even this one?

2 kings chapter 2 verse 23-24

From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!” He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

This one too:

Ezekiel 23:20 NIV

There she lusted after her lovers whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

It's actually exactly this quote that they claim supports the argument that the coming of Jesus overrides the old laws. Not that they are eliminated, but that they are "fulfilled" by/through him. This is often interpreted to mean that where he specifies, they are changed or replaced through him. Such as declaring all foods clean, change from the vengeful "eye for an eye" to the pacifist "turn the other cheek", expanded adultery to include lustful thoughts, etc.

I'm not arguing in favor of this interpretation because it's all fiction anyway. But that is the common Canon.

Stop arguing against me, per God.

Leviticus 19:32:

"Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the Lord."
