Christianity says this law doesn’t apply to Gentiles.

He also told Jews to sacrifice animals. Do you practice that?

Christianity says this law doesn’t apply to Gentiles.

To be more specific, chr*stianity says that law has is not obsolete and has been "superseded." So how do you argue with liberals who say the same thing about the ban on homosexuality?

He also told Jews to sacrifice animals. Do you practice that?

I'm not Jewish. Non-Jews are permitted, but not required to offer qorbanot, even on private altars, but the rules are very stringent. Also, the skin is to be given to a kohen (Jewish priest) and there are opinions that this cannot be done since Jews are teme'ey-metim without the red heifer.

For Jews it is different. Jews are indeed required to offer qorbanot, but this cannot be done without an altar on the Temple Mount. Plus the absence of the red heifer makes it impossible for Jews to ascend there according to some opinions.

But my point, which you are doing your best to ignore, is very, very simple. G-d's laws are eternal. They do not change. They do not get "updated" or "modernized." The fact that they make no sense to our feeble human minds does not lessen our obligation to observe them in the least.

Chr*stianity's "supersession" of Jewish ritual mitzvot is basically the same as liberalism's rejection of non-humanistic morality.
