I cringe when I read things like this. I don't know
what to say, so I'll say nothing.
Okay...yes I will...but this doesn't even begin to
scratch the surface.
Not all "laws" in the "Law of Moses" were given for

Type 1 - moral laws. all people, all times
Type 2 - ritualistic laws (cleanliness, etc.)
Type 3 - laws for national protection and preservation
