Old Testament laws. Some Jews still strictly follow all of these. I was working in a camp kitchen when a Jewish group was there and they could not eat meat and dairy in one meal. It was very interesting.
But off of that bunny trail, no, I do not believe its sinful to mix meat and dairy. I do not think it is sinful that women have short hair. I do not condemn wearing lycra and cotton at the same time. I see slavery as wrong, though culturally, it may have once been acceptable granted masters treat their slaves rightly.
The Old Testament law was irradiated when Jesus came. There are some moral implications that are still important to follow- those are reiterated in the New Testament. The Old Testament's purpose in the life of the Christian is to give the history of our faith system. It also shows how prophecy was fulfilled, which reaffirms our beliefs.
You would be incorrect to say that the OT was irradiated because Jesus says in the NT that all of the laws of god are still to be followed. Not to mention you're contradicting yourself because you said the bible is the inerrant word of god. You can't pick and choose what's right and what isn't if you follow that logic. No? So if god says its a sin to eat meat and dairy in the same meal, then it must be, no?
Also, if you aren't following the "true" version, the KJV, then you aren't following the word of god.
I don't think your teachers in bible college are doing their jobs correctly.
