That's Old Testament. It has lapsed and has been replaced by the New Testament.
I believe it was either the Apostle Mark or the Apostle James who wrote, "Now there comes forth from God, a new Righteousness that is not of the law (law meaning Torah or the Old Testament). He was telling us that the Old Testament has lapsed and that we are to live by the New Testament.

In general, Yes. YHVH does not change, and the things which displease Him do not change. Most of His rules were made for mankind (before there was a "Jew") as in "Abraham kept my rules". We believe the trimming of hair and beard was a reference to heathen customs, and so that one is no longer relevant. I don't believe hybridization was common in that day, so that I doubt that Lev 19:19 referred to hybrid seed.

Yes they still stand today. These all are part of the God Yahweh's advanced disease prevention plan,( which is why they still make no sense to those that don't know how to interpret the science from it) so humans could live a longer disease free life on Earth if followed. They will never become obsolete for as long as man inhabits the Earth.

Not incumbent on Christians. After the Flood, when permission was given to Noah and his family to add flesh to their diet, nothing was stated regarding fat. (Ge 9:3, 4) However, the eating of blood was prohibited. This was more than 850 years before the Law covenant, with its prohibitions against the eating of both blood and fat, was made with Israel. In the first century C.E. the governing body of the Christian congregation confirmed the prohibition against blood as remaining in force for Christians. (Ac 15:20, 28, 29) As in the case with Noah and his family, however, nothing was stated concerning the eating of fat by Christians. Thus, the law against eating fat was given only to the nation of Israel.

I follow those laws. I also follow the new testiment. I think people think the old laws are cast aside but I'm not sure where it say 'Disregard Book 1 it was just a Beta version'. If you ask that whole 'What Would Jesus Do' thing just remember he followed all the old testiment laws. If the son of God couldn't do it, I doubt I'll be able to get away with it.

You DO know that the old testament was written by Jews for Jews, right? If you are Jewish, go for it, no problem.
The new testament was written by and for Christians.
Rabbit stew, Oh how I love rabbit stew. Curried goat, Oxtail soup, you just make me salivate. Eggs without bacon in the morning - you are joking, right? Shrimp with garlic roasted on an open fire.... sigh.
Those poor people, they don't know what they are missing.

A point that I find interesting is the recent acclaims given to the Mediterranean diet by the New England Medical Journal.
A close look at this diet and you will see that it closely resembles the dietary Laws as contained in the Old Testament.
