If you believe you have things to teach people about the law, I invite you to give scripture references for the laws from the Old Testament you believe we are to follow today.
If it's too many to list all at once, I suggest picking a book such as Exodus or Leviticus and just talking about the first few you come to.
If you feel it is off topic for the thread, I invite you to do it somewhere else
Teach them to your children at all times. Talk about them when you sit together at home. Talk about them as you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as signs on your arms and on your heads, so that you remember them.

Romans 10:6-8 says The righteousness of faith saith, say not in your heart bring Christ down from above or from the deep. But says the word is in your mouth and your heart to do it. THAT IS the word of faith in which we preach.
This is a paraphrase of Deuteronomy 30:10-14 Which says hearken unto the LORD our God to keep His commandments and statutes contained in the Book of the Law. FOR this command to hearken unto the LORD our God to keep His commandments and statutes contained in the Book of the Law is hidden from you or far off that you should say who shall go up to heaven or down into the deep to bring this unto us to bring it to us that we may hear and DO IT? But hearken unto the voice of the LORD our God for the word is nigh thee in thy heart and in thy mouth that you may do it.
Why did Christ through Paul paraphrase Deut. 30:10-14 in Rom. 10:6-8?
Because Christ is the fulfillment of Deut 30. AND DEUT 30 tells us what laws He has put in our hearts. For He is in our hearts and mouths. This changes us. FOR We share His Spirit, therefore we share His faith. And if He is in our hearts then His Word. the voice of the LORD is and we should hearken unto the voice of the LORD and Keep His Word, His commandments and Statutes contained in the book of the Law that He has put there.
TAKE NOTE the judgments are not mentioned. For they are not needed for we shall appear before the judgment seat of Christ.
As for your other thoughts. We who have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is no Jew or Gentile , Male nor female we are all one in Christ. So now our appearance is of Him and not the manner of dress and appearance which the Law dictates. So they are not needed.
And now we are the Temple of God and His Spirit resides in us, Jesus Christ being the High Priest so all the laws pertaining to the Temple service and priestly ministry are also no more.
Partaking of Jesus. Him being our Passover and having unleavened us and allowing us to partake of the first fruits of His ministry. Risen with Him in heavenly places we continue in the summer harvest Pentacost praising our Lord as His Temple.
As the Temple, Body of Christ grows having the walls of self and this world knocked down, the blood of Jesus sanctify us, cleansing the flesh so we can serve the living God. Having perfected forever we whom He has sanctified, the Holy Ghost testifying. For God has said He will put His Laws, His Word through Christ in our hearts and in our minds.
Thereby Stepping through the vale that is to say His flesh He tabernacles with us. Takes us through the Passover, the feast of unleavened, First fruits, Pentacost, the feast of Trumpets, the Atonement and the feast of tabernacles. So those ceremonies need not be observed.
That leaves the Ten and the other laws which pertain to righteous living contained in the Book of the Law. These are they which are in our hearts and in our minds through Christ. We are not under the law because through Christ we are part of them and they us. The Word being in our heart and mouths. Christ being the first among many brethren. Us in Him He in us that the world might believe.
The Law if used lawfully is for the sinner, for by the Law is the knowledge of sin. As long as there is sin there will be the Law.
2Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Rom 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above
Rom 10:7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
Rom 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
Deut 30:10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
Deut 30:11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
Deut 30:12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Deut 30:13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Deut 30:14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
