Some Christians tell me they don't need to do old testament requirements anymore because Jesus put a stop to them. Which makes sense, meaning many of the old laws no longer apply.
But then Christians also tell me Jesus didn't override the old law, Jesus merely completed or fulfilled it. But if that's the case, why do Christians do so many practices which under 'old' law are a sin? Eg:
-allowing menstruating women in a public place of worship
-eating meat with some blood remaining
-eating pork,
-non-circumcision,
-making statues and images of heaven, hell and God himself
-planting different crops in the same field
-not observing the sabbath correctly (Moses revealed the proper way through the Talmud from my understanding, so only orthodox Jews have kept the rule like not being allowed to light a fire, tie a knot or write anything)
If they weren't to apply eternally, why were they made in the first place? If they're meant to be followed, why do all churches breach them?
