Don't you think that there is a difference between the ethical laws of the OT, and the ceremonial laws, such as circumcision and animal sacrifices.
Jesus said he did not come to do away with the law, but the Holy Spirit would write the law in our hearts.
So, unless the law has been replaced, ie, baptism is now spiritual circumcision, and the blood of Jesus is now for the remission of sins instead of the blood of bulls and goats, OT ethics are still applicable.
(by the way, for the sake of this thread, I am going to attempt to argue from the perspective of the book as a learning exercise)

The moral law stands forever anything God hates or dislikes or is a abomination to Him, or says is unholy to Him stands forever. Why? Because as
Malachi 3:6 says "For I am the Lord, I change not." And as
Psalms 33:11 says "The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever,
the thoughts of his heart to all generations." Lastly what the New Testament scripture says in
Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
Anything else said comes from the philosophy of man, and definetely not from the Word of God. In saying different they are saying openly that God is a liar, and the scripture says plainly that "That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie." And it also says "God is not a man, that he should lie;
neither the son of man, that he should repent:
hath he said, and shall he not do it?
or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" So I say "Let God be true, yet every man be a liar". Just because people may have taught this hogwash all our lives, doesn't mean they go that out of the Bible. Most of that thinking comes from some Denominal theology which we wouldn't follow in the first place! Or at least any self respecting Apostolic wouldn't. Some only will go with it, because it fits their personal agenda. Truthfully they are caught up in the cult of Loophole theology though anyway... (Not you Sis, just saying this in general. As we say where I come from, "i'm talking to Texas if the shoe fits then wear it.)
