But once a Christian has accepted and come to Christ are they not to still KEEP those same laws? Let's read what Paul tells those that DID come to Christ. Let's read if he told them God's laws were no longer for them once they accepted and came to Christ.
1 Cor.6
[9] Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
[10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
[11] And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
So those that Paul is speaking to are those that as he called them, "...such were some of you...". But then he tells us that they, "...are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.". So according to your claim, these have no need to be under God's laws.
But what does Paul tell them next? Let's read.....
[18] Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that commiteth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1 Cor.7
[2] Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
Paul tells those that 'WERE' sinners and 'ARE WASHED' and 'ARE SANCTIFIED' and 'ARE JUSTIFIED' to STILL keep God's commandment of not to fornicate!
Now why would Paul tell Christians, who YOU claim the law is no longer for, NOT to fornicate?
Let's read what God tells us what will happen if those that decided to accept and following His should stop keeping His commandments;
Ezek.18
[24] But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
[25] Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
[26] When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
I would be very careful with what you post.
"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
You claim,
But that goes against what God's word tells us.
God's laws are for ALL of mankind, whether you are a sinner are a Christian, ALL are to keep the laws of God.

I am not telling anyone that they can go ahead and break God's Law.
What I am saying is that only those who Abide in Christ are following God's will and obeying His commands.
You can only obey by the spirit, and that is a gift.
The Lord is amazing and He gives us the things we ask that are according to His will. Wisdom and Knowledge of Him are some of these things...
