I was under the impression that the Old Testament was not to be followed after homeboy died on the cross.
Here's a link to something that I read explaining it.

Here's part of it for anyone who doesn't click the link:
"According to Christian theology, when Jesus came from Heaven, it was for the express purpose of sacrificing himself on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. His sacrifice was supposed to be the ultimate act that would free us from the former laws and regulations and allow us to enter Heaven by acting in his image. That is why he said “it is finished” when he died on the cross. That is why Christians don’t have to circumcise their sons (god’s covenant with Jacob), that is why they don’t have to perform animal sacrifice, or grow out their forelocks, or follow any of the other laws of Leviticus.
When you quote Leviticus as god’s law and say they are rules we must follow because they are what god or Jesus wants us to do, what you are really saying, as a Christian, is that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross was invalid. He died in vain because you believe we are still beholden to the old laws."
Now I haven't read the bible, but from everything I've read or heard discussed, isn't that why he died on the cross? To free you of those no pork/stone your neighbor/don't wear a lovely cotton poly blend ridiculousness?
