Old Testament & Christian Morality

Christians do not respect the old testament law, because it was just a shadow of what was to come. So, it wasn't the perfect law. Old testament contains a lot of things that are clearly human, and has nothing to do with God's will.
That's why I don't believe that those commandments were given by God.
Quote:If Jesus absolved the laws commanded to the Israelites and replaced them with faith, and no real laws were handed down in the New Testament, where do these moderate Christians get their so called Objective Morality from?
Firstly, who says that Jesus didn't give us the low what we should perform?
What about the two commandments of love?
Secondly, you don't need Jesus to know that killing is bad, because morality is also a product of evolution.
