Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him. Say to the Israelites: 'If anyone curses his God, he will be held responsible; anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him. Whether an alien or native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.
Notice I said Christians. What you quoted is all Old Testimate which was fufilled or 'finished,' as it were, when Jesus came/died. Christians are not under the Mosaic Law. I'll edit with references in a minute...
-edit- Here: Colossians 2:13-14 - ... He kindly forgave us all our trespasses and blotted out the handwritten document against us ... He has taken it out of the way by nailing it to the torture stake
Mat 5:17-18 - (Jesus says) Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came, not to destroy, but to fulfill;
Romans 10:4 - For Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness.
Romans 7:6 - But now we have been discharged from the Law..
Galatians 3:24-25 - Consequently the Law has become our tutor leading to Christ, that we might be declared righteous due to faith. 25 But now that the faith has arrived, we are no longer under a tutor.
Aside form all of the scriptures that talk about loving your neighbor and ect as previously mentioned.
Is that sufficient?
