On ancient laws and regulations in the Torah

שו"תOn ancient laws and regulations in the Torah
שאל לפני 2 שנים

peace,
I noticed that in the Torah there are all kinds of laws and laws that are no longer acceptable today, such as stoning people, burning, in the laws of Rambam I understood that there are all kinds of laws regarding women, such as if she doesn't do what is incumbent on her, etc. then she should be punished/beaten or something like that. Now, the fact that it is very primitive and not true for any period in my opinion is one thing, but I have a few questions about it –
1) Why is this supposedly "ignored"? It makes perfect sense that over the years it was dropped and not accepted in Judaism due to its horrendous lack of conformity to reality, but isn't it treated this way spontaneously and naturally, or was there a point in history when they simply decided not to practice it that way?
2) What is the difference between these laws and commandments and other commandments in Judaism? Why were other commandments left relevant? Because they are not harmful?
If so, doesn't this indicate that they removed it purely out of practice and inconsistency with reality, and not because "this is how God commanded"…

These questions require systematic study, and it is clear that you lack a lot of information and understanding in the field of halakhah. It is difficult to go into detail here. In short, many of the punishments were not written in advance so that they would be implemented, and the policy has always been not to implement them in practice. A Sanhedrin that would kill once every seventy years was called a scapegoat. Some claim that it was never implemented (Prof. Aharon Shemesh, late, in his book on punishment). I remind you that even today there are death penalties in the world, and I am not at all sure that countries that have abolished it are more enlightened. There are laws that depend on the existence of a qualified rabbinical court, which has not existed for thousands of years. There are many laws that are certainly practical and appropriate even though to a modern eye they do not appear so. Not everything that is modern is necessarily better. There are also diseases of modern society and morality.
