Christians believe the New Testament is the "New Covenant" with God, therefore the Old Testament no longer applies.
 
the laws in the OT? Did Jesus not say that the laws of the OT are still applying in their entirety?
 
Of course Jesus never said NOT to follow the laws of the old Testament. Firstly because he was a jew and since the old testament is basically the Torah (jewish religious text) or more to the point, a biography of his own dad he would have been defying god to say something like that. HOWEVER - with that in mind - christians are not Jews and the information in the old testament is out dated.
 
hum, lets put it this way, Jesus IS the fullfilment of the Old testiment laws. The old testiment speaks of Jesus many many many times hundreds of years before His birth.

Now that He is born, we follow His laws which are living how He lived.

Do with it as you will.
 
Where in the world does it say that one should obey any written old crud and not just go out and be the best person one can be on any given day?
 
Heb 8:6 and

Heb 8:13 -
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

Galatians 3:13 -
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law (O.T.), being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

*Note :There others but I'm sleepy.
