Who gets to decide when God's original written law has surpassed it's usefulness in the given time period?

Being raised in a very strict Christan home, and denomination, I was often confused about what I was taught. Like Deut 22:5 Abomination to wear slacks for women. But if you follow pieces of the law, shouldn't you obey them all? If Jesus fulfilled the law and we aren't bound by it any longer like they teach, then why pick out several pet verses from the law, and make them your doctrine? And there are more scriptures that they would pick one verse out of to preach, and their interpretation was totally out of context with the rest of the chapter like the one for not wearing jewelry they quoted I Peter 3:3-4, but when read with the rest of the chapter it means you are to treat your husband well. When you point these things out, they say you have to take it on faith, or you aren't saved. Or you are rebellious and don't want to follow the Bible. I resolved for myself to follow the actual Scripture, but wonder how my family and old friends can be so decieved.

What would he tell us of God , Of Allah, what would his vision of God be.
When, his foundation, being lay'd by his father Abraham,ishmaels corner stone,( over his first 16 years) -- had been absolutely shattered when he was cast out of his fathers
house and sent away with his mother Haggar. Wouldnt that destroy your ability and desire to believe in the same God as your Father. Him being attacked by all mannor of despare, been abandoned by his father, his corner stone, his blessing, and cast out, what a terrible pain that must be; seen in countlas sons around the world today in the same situation in there broken family lives.
My son is one and l feel his pain . l under stand his empty ness, his anguish, His spiritual dislocation from his loving father, the blessing of Abraham.
How can he believe in my god when l have "abandened" him.
How can l believe in my fathers blessing when he has abandened me ?"I could not.- Believe in God YES , but not as my father, whom has cast me out!

There have been blatant examples dealing with rape, slavery, God-promoted killing, and so on from the Old Testament and every time the answer is the same. "That's the Old Testament, we are now in the New Testament." Should we completely throw out the Old Testament then if you don't agree with what it says? Try not to be hypocritical for once in your life and realize that not everything that's said in the bible is healthy to believe in.

"For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh"

I mean doesn't that pretty much say it? So why do christians always preach family values when their own scripture discourages close extended family? Does the bible consider only your spouse and children (while their young) important but not your other family members, such as parents, siblings, aunt, uncles, nephews, neices, etc..

Please read before you answer and serious answers only.
I am well aware of the verses that warn about false prophets, but if Muhammad was seen in the Bible as a Prophet, how can he be a false prophet? (hope i'm clear)
And if the Quraan has similar events like in the Torah and bible isn't it more believable as the Quraan is still in it's original form and it "verifies" the what actually happened. It hasn't been changed and God himself promised to safeguard it from corruption.

What do you think?

Personally, I have had many tragedies in my life, but I'd never change a thing. These things have made me who I am today. Would you go back and change anything?

don't get me wrong. I'm not judging or anything. I just want to know how do you pentecostal girls play sports while wearing skirts? and what do you wear when you go swimming? I'm just wondering. I'm not pentecostal but I am not restricted to my religion. for me learning about other religions will help my understanding more.

Most of the differences and much of the conflict between these two sects of Islam are said to come from their divergent political views in who should have become caliph or the supreme Muslim leader.

The question thus is why do these two sects still remain different and sometimes even fight and kill each other when the institution they are fighting over (the Caliphate) has been dead for 600+ years and in all probability will never be resurrected?
