Very little, if any, of the Bible is "outdated".
"If a man strikes his slave with a rod and the slave survives a day or two, he will not be punished for the slave is his property."
—Exodus 21:20
"Slaves, obey your masters, not only those who are good and gentle, but also those who are harsh and cruel."
—1 Peter 2:18
"If there is a girl who is a virgin engaged to a man, and another man rapes her, then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city and you shall stone them to death; the girl, because she did not cry out loudly enough for someone to hear her and come to her rescue, and the man, because he has violated his neighbor’s property. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you."
—Deuteronomy 22:23
"If a man finds a girl who is a virgin, who is not engaged, and rapes her and they are discovered, then the man who raped her shall give to the girl’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall become his wife because he has violated another man's property; he cannot divorce her all his days."
—Deuteronomy 22:28
