Must Christians obey the Old Testament?

[Jacobtm]

I have never gotten a consistent answer on this subject. There are 3 main answers I've heard:

1. Yes
2. No
3. Where Jesus contradicts the Old Testament, a Christian should follow his teachings. Where he doesn't say anything, a Christian should follow the Old Testament.

So what's the deal? Did the new covenant Jesus struck with God nullify the old covenant and with it all the teachings from the Old Testament?

that's because you don't know the difference between the Old Testament and the Law of Moses...and also because you fail to realize that Jesus' New Covenant superseded the Law of Moses...and also because you fail to realize that the NT is based on the OT and does NOT contradict it.

Can you answer my question? Do Christians have to follow the laws of the Old Testament?

[Jacobtm]

Ok, so can someone explain which parts of the OT can be ignored by Christians and which parts must be followed?

since you're obviously not trying to comprehend what we're attempting to explain to you, why do you just concentrate on obeying the NT...then, once you learn to walk in that, we'll discuss the fulfillment of OT theology.  Deal?

I will not follow Jesus or Moses or anyone like that. I just want to understand the people who do.
