There's no life in this world without death. Likewise, there's no love in this world without hate.

In other news, Earth is mostly water and humans require oxygen to survive.

He was emphasizing the point that, if you have to choose between family/friends and the right thing, choose the right thing. He also said to turn the other cheek and love your enemies.

Are instructions to "dash their babies against rocks" and kill adulteresses part of "love your enemies?"

There's no doubt that there's a lot of good ethical views espoused in the NT, but the OT is not to simply be ignored. The same God of the OT is the Father described in the NT, and Jesus came to fulfill His laws and commandments. The two cannot be separated, nor can we simply ignore or dismiss the values espoused in the OT.
