Cerek, I realize that the New Testament was a change in the old laws. For instance, I have read Galatians and Paul's words therein abrogating (or limiting) such things as the notion of kosher. However, I find it amusing at least, and poignant at best, to point these things out. Are there specific references refuting each one? Ithink not. I think you'll be relying on general statements by disciples to refute those laws.

Anyway, I once found a reference guide for the bible relating to specific issues. In looking for "premarital relations/sex" I found a lot of interesting tidbits. One was that if you had sex with a woman out of wedlock, you had to ask for her hand in marriage, but could refuse if the dowry was too low. Loved that one.
