I am posting this again for you.
Jesus Christ has taught us how to obey the laws.
1. Jesus Christ is the only sacrifice for sin, in His wonderful deed and example, we are now free of the laws for sacrifice, for He is the Only Sacrifice for sin for mankind. Anyone thinking they are able to sacrifice anything other than heartfelt thanksgiving is sorely mistaken. Any good deeds we may do in the name of Jesus Christ are not above and beyond the call, they are our due.
2. Concerning the laws on clean foods. Jesus Christ teaches us nothing by entering the body will defile the obdy, making all foods clean. It is what proceeds from the heart that will defile the body, murders, lies, adultery, all forms of covetness.......here He underscores the laws on behavior, they are still in effect if we love Him.
3. Any law that exacts punishment and death is replaced by mercy. He teaches us this by His Example and preaching. For instance He teaches it is written an eye for an eye, but He tells us if our enemy strikes us on the cheek, to offer him the other.
Most folks seem to believe the three points above are something legalistic. They are not. They are freedom from the curse of the law, but the law's curse cannot be nailed to the cross with Jesus Christ if those who claim to believe Him do not act accordingly, that is to do as He teaches and attempt to be as He was. It is not nuclear physics,it is love and wisdom from Jesus Christ, but it seems only those who become like children in the sight of the Father understand Him. My theology until I was somewhat grown was based on a song, "Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so." No one ever took that tehology from me. Blessed be Jesus Christ, my Lord, amen.

Do you feel this law should be kept physically? If so, I'm interested in his you go about it.
