"If you want to enforce all the Old Testament Moral Laws which Saint Paul does NOT specify as Civil Crimes under the New Testamental grant of Government Authority, howzabout this one:"

Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. because I tell you with certainty that until heaven and earth disappear, not one letter or one stroke of a letter will disappear from the Law until everything has been accomplished. - Jesus (Matt 5:17-18)

Last time I checked, heaven and earth are still here..

Last I checked, Church and State were still here, also.
Presbyter and Magistrate, both.

Whom are ordained to different roles -- and to enforcing different Tables of the Ten Commandments, according to New Testament guidelines for church and civil government.

In the Apostolic Blessing to Civil Authority that Saint Paul gives the Magistrate in Romans 13:1-10, he makes mention only of the Civil Law, the Second Table of the Ten Commandments. The Moral Law, the First Table of the Ten Commandments, is left to the teaching office of the Presbyter.
