I did. Are you wondering why we are no longer required to obey the laws of the Old Testament?
We are bound to the moral laws (think Ten Commandments here), but the dietary and other laws are no longer applicable.
What!? You are not required to obey the laws of the Old Testament?? Someone forgot to tell Jesus!! "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." (Matthew 5:17 NAB)
When I was a theist, we were taught that people like you were lukewarm Christians. God would spit you away. We were told that lukewarm Christians were even more disgusting to god that non believers.
