According to Romans 1:32 the death penalty for capital crimes is still valid. Otherwise, ALL capital punishment (like for murder) is invalid and wrong.

Was God ever wrong when he said rapists, fornicators, murderers, etc should be sentenced to death by the courts?

Also, if a slave ran away, it was against God's law to forcibly return the escaped slave to his or her owner (Deut 23:15). Slaves could only serve until the end of the sixth year, in the Sabbath year they were set free (Deut 15:12), unless they voluntarily chose to remain for life (Deut 15:16-17).

There were also laws for concubinage, however since Bible law encompasses BOTH Testaments, monogamy has always been the norm in "Christian" societies.

The Inquisition was anything and everything BUT theonomic.

you don't think there is any difference between the OT and NT in the way God governs his people? the bible says the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, and now the law is written on fleshly tablets of the heart. We are to walk after the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh, how do you legislate that?
