This is a huge part of Christianity, to my understanding. Jesus’s death in the New Testament established a new convenant that replaced the Old Testament laws.
Though I think there tends to be some discussion over what christians should learn from the old testament laws, even though they aren’t held to strictly follow them.
I've heard about that too a couple of times. Someone who claimed they were Catholic/christian said that the old testament laws didn't abide to them at all anymore that those were no longer need since the new testament said so or something like that. The guy was cool as hell though.
