As I mentioned, those were given to the Jews to keep because they were chosen. Those I believe aren't applicable now [b:cb83170625]because[/b:cb83170625] of Jesus' death of the cross.
Take for example the animal sacrifice. Before, Jews were asked to offer an clean animal each day and God would transfer the sins of the offerer to the animal. But because of Jesus' sacrificial death, the last and perfect sacrifice, this practice is no longer necessary.
Jesus summed up the commandments into two that is:
[i:cb83170625]Luk 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.[/i:cb83170625]
And that I believe, is what I should follow.
b. Flaws in Christianity I said, not flaws of Christians. Just because there's something we Christians don't follow(in your perspective) doesn't mean that Christianity is false.
We don't view somethings the same the same way. You follow most(if not, all) of the things written in the Quran, but that doesn't mean Christians [b:cb83170625]have[/b:cb83170625] to do that.
I want to hear major flaws that concerns Jesus' claim being God, His crucifixion and death.
But anyway, you said:
