Exactly.
I don't claim Old Testament is inapplicable. I believe that the words of Jesus from the New Testament have more weight than anything else in the Bible. If the Deuteronomy says we should burn the whole town if there is a non-believer in it, but Jesus says to love our enemies, Christians are supposed to obey latter.

That's a fair statement. Jesus did a lot to help us understand the Scriptures that already existed at the time. He showed us how to love our enemies, even to the point of dying for them. But He is God, and we should not take Him for granted. He doesn't hesitate to discipline His children and decimate his detractors.
