That is news to me, considering that the fictional Jesus character so much as stated that the old testament laws were to not be ignored.
Yeah, this bit is quibbled over constantly;
Matthew 5:17-18 Wrote:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
Some Christians like to say that Jesus fulfilled the law, and that it is no longer binding, while others prefer to think it's still in effect. In my experience it's whatever suits their purposes for that moment in time.
