....if you obeyed those Old Testament laws that don't apply to you? Whether it's because they were only for the Jews or because the laws are repealed or whatever the reason, certainly God wouldn't mind if you obeyed them, anyway.
Would He?

Anyway, better safe than sorry, right? I mean, how can you be sure about all those laws. Some of them still apply. Most of the Ten Commandments, e.g. (What, all of them? Even the sabbath law? And that one about making graven images?) And the ones reiterated in the New Testament (like homosexuality).
But what if you're wrong? Think of it this way: once upon a time, God really really did get upset if people (at least certain people, namely His chosen people) ate shellfish, or mixed thread in their garments. Right? Who's to say that things like that don't still get Him angry? Wouldn't it be wise not to take any chances?

There was a guy a couple of years ago that attempted to live one year obeying every command of the bible. Did you see that? I'll try to find it.
