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.
You're right, the OT, which is part of the Bible, tells people to kill other people, however it does it to the jews and not to the christians, the issue is that the same God of the OT is suppose to be of the NT, who is the one who mandated to kill.

I did not dismiss the Old Testemant. I mearly stated that Christians are not obligated to follow the Mosaic Law Covenent since Jesus fufilled it and quoted references to prove such.
Well, if the NT states that Christians don't have to follow mosaic law anymore, that could have been, and it was, taken as actually dismissing or corrupting the OT, and I do wonder wether or not the jews were actually right about rejecting the entire NT as part of the canon.

Where do you get the authority to pick and choose what parts of the old testament are delectable and which are garbage?
well, that's a good question actually, considering different interpretations within different denominations.
