Well, that changes things. I regret on being a bit harsh. Please understand then, that these verses on race separation have nothing to do with race, but with the chosen people. God's chosen people. These laws applied to anyone who joined the tribes. EG, slaves from outside of other nations who joined the chosen people, would thus become chosen people. Immediately after they were circumcised then these laws applied to them. They were not allowed to marry outside of God's chosen people. In short, the old testament laws DO STILL APPLLY in the new testament, but htey are all spiritual instead of physical. As a sinner you will still die spiritually. Living in Jesus' spirit, you are not allowed to marry other spirits that are not of God. What I am telling you here directly is that if you use the old testament as prime examples, you will fail as the old testament covenant contradicts Jesus completely. To say that old testament law X is valid, is to imply all of the old testament law is valid. First important note is that Jesus doesn't save you from your sins. Animal sacrifice does. Thus immediately Jesus' power is destroyed.
