I doubt you've read the bible, much less understand it.Now you are reciting childish nonsense.That's not even close to what I said. I said Jesus is likely telling Christians to follow the laws of your civilization. Christians are not currently in a Jewish civilization that adheres to the laws the pharisees set MANY years ago. What God tells Christians to do in the New Testament are the laws for Christians.The old Testament was included because it's part of the Bible's history, and also because it contained the laws for the Jews, and rules for hygiene. I've been getting a lot of notifications, I probably missed this post within them because you were on there multiple times, and I thought it was a previous post.So why include the OT if none of the rules put forth in it are followed? And if what you say is true, what does this mean?
“It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid.” (Luke 16:17)
Another quick question since we're on the subject, Leviticus lists a whole bunch of incestuous relationships that are to be avoided. Since there is no NT reference, are these things okay now?
6 “None of you shall approach any one of his close relatives to uncover nakedness. I am the Lord. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, which is the nakedness of your mother; she is your mother, you shall not uncover her nakedness. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife; it is your father’s nakedness. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your sister, your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether brought up in the family or in another home. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your daughter-in-law; she is your son’s wife, you shall not uncover her nakedness. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife; it is your brother’s nakedness. rival wife to her sister, uncovering her nakedness while her sister is still alive.
Speaking of reading and comprehension Pumpkin Row, you never answered my bible questions...

He was telling them to continue following the Jewish law, because that was the civilization that they lived in. In broader definition, he was telling people to follow the laws of their people, much like we follow American laws.
So follow the law but don't follow the law?!? Come on, try again.
You also didn't answer the second part...these restrictions are not in the NT...does that mean there are no longer biblical restrictions on them?

Jesus was doing no such thing.
