Depends.

You could credibly claim that Jesus instructed everyone to follow the old laws still.

"[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. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."

Depending on how you interpret "heaven and earth disappears", "Fulfill" And "everything is accomplished".

One of the epistles states that the old laws do not apply, and in the gospels jesus certainly seems to put little stock in the law as written, so its absolutely not a stretch either way IMO.

Ok but he said lots of other stuff that's contradictory (John 13:34).

Perhaps more importantly christians haven't followed the law of the old testament for almost 2000 years. Christians definitely eat swine, shellfish, etc. Just for starters.

Indeed. Christianity is designed so one can claim (just about) whatever they like is biblical.

Its a terrible basis for morality or life for that reason.
