Most Christians do not follow these things because it was decided for them that way in the New Testament. First of all, these laws were given only to Jews in the Old Testament. Nowhere does it say that God expects everyone to keep them. In New Testament times, there was a problem. The first Christians were all Jews who came to believe that Jesus was the Messiah. But soon, they came to believe that this new message about Jesus that they had should be shared with people from all nations. Remember Peter and his vision? The New Testament specifically states that it was God who told them to share their belief with gentiles. Now the problem for them was that they didn't exactly know what to do with those people who were not Jews and came to believe in Jesus. Should they convert to Judaism (remember, at that time, the Jewish Christians still worshipped at synagogues)? Some said yes, some said no. So there was an official council set up, the first church council that ever happend. All the Apostles were present to decide about that question, whether Christians should keep the Jewish laws, like kosher etc. and become Jewish. The answer to this question was "no". You can read the whole argument in Acts 15. That is why Christians today believe that they don't need to keep Jewish laws like kosher, simply because they are not Jewish and because the Apostles gave them just three laws that were not related to morals (read at the end of the chapter) to follow. One more thing ... one of these threee things Christians should keep according to Acts 15 is to abstain from blood. It is because of that verse that Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions. However, what is meant here is to not eat blood, and not the transfusion thing. As you can imagine, blood transfusion didn't exist at that time ... just so you wouldn't get confused with it. .... Read Acts 15 ... It's really essential. Edit: It is not that those laws don't apply ANYMORE but that they never applied to any other people than the Jews. And if you look at the 10 commandments, you will find much of it repeated in the New Testament, the moral parts of it, such as honoring your parents, not stealing ... well you know them. So those things definitely apply. Acts 15 is only talking about the things not related to morals.
