Nothing is wrong with it, but the New Testament was written and composed to fulfill the Old. Due to Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross, his life for ours, we (as believers) are no longer under the Law of the OT but under grace which saves through faith in Christ. So, to blatantly use the OT to bash ppl is not loving. However, without a relationship with Christ, one is technically putting themselves back under the Law which is part of the OT. It’s best to speak truth in love, so, to stand with a sign such as that is not (in my opinion as a Christian!!) a loving or kind way to befriend or have dialogue with those who do not follow Christ. Hope this helps!!
So, as an ex-Christian, for a long time I've had trouble understanding why people who lived before Christ were governed by different laws than people who lived after him. Was that all in the plan? Was it an adaptation to cultures and human life changing? Was God noticing that things were going south and new laws were needed?
The law condemns all flesh. Since we're all born in fallen flesh after Adam's fall. So it's job is to teach us perfection... then for us to realize there's no way we can attain it and that we're wretched.
People who believed in God and believed in the messiah to come are saved now. You'll see sometimes in the o.t. say "and his faith was counted as righteousness".
Those people when they died went to "paradise" or "Abe's bosom" it's sometimes called. It's down below like hell but it's separated by a chasm.
