This kind of ignores that the Old Testament was around for atleast 2000 years before the New Testament was written, and that Jesus himself said that the he did not come to take away the Law (the Old Testament), or that God says he is never changing, in other words, he didn't just flip a switch at 200 AD when the NT was being put together and change the meanings. To murder is a sin, not to kill. And this difference has let lots of wars and blood be spilled "in the name of God". Muslims also refer to the OT, and the NT along with their Koran.
