True. It goes back to historicism. You cannot practice a restrictive law in a vacuum without care to the why or historical background to said law. The Old Testament speaks to whomever resurected Israel through 40 years wandering in the desert of iniquity into a new fresh generation.

The bringing of false charges against God because He was vulnerable in the flesh thus spake volume as to what this generation did not understand yet about God and soul that was truly more profound and intended throughout the Old Testament. Egyptian tyranny was only a material milder manifestation of the battle going on inside one’s soul which was much more cosmic, and that only that particular resurection was true, whereas the law would be applied just to make it materially but without personal meaning.

Liberals are like that, however, as they want some imposed government law on themselves to help them get by despite their evil. They are like the smoker who wants antismoking laws so that they will not die from smoking, though their soul is definitely smoking. They hope that science is this thing which will give them the technology to smoke without the harmful effects. They just want the marching orders of the day reminded to them in a teleprompter without having to bother to honor or understand why. They clearly do not want to be burdened the way we would. They want the formulas, the answers to each problem, but reject the independent mind capable of thinking up the solutions of said formulas in the first place.

However if a material restriction helps one understand Christ, let people impose on themselves their own Old Testament restriction. What is obsolete or seen as archaic is not necesssarily wrong (just like Black and White TV is not wrong in the technological sense, even if not fully fulfilling the role of the tube to its fullest.)

It isn’t like black and white TV. It’s like busting the tube and the hero in the movie steps out and greets you.
