Can we quote the Old Testament and not be bound by it?

 I am going to quote both Old Testament (abbreviated as OT) and New Testament (abbreviated NT) scripture in this writing. But to avoid the cry about if someone quotes the Law then they need to follow the law, let us deal with the purpose of the Law first.

The verses in the OT about any given sin show what God feels about that sin. The Old Testament is chock full of concrete examples of spiritual truths. . People thought the law was intended to punish, but in reality, the law was put in place to show the people they were unable to enter heaven on their own.

Galatians 3:19-25, “What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator. A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one. Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.”

The law was intended to point us to our need for Christ. The law was fulfilled by Christ’s death. Thus, we are no longer bound by the law. However, this does not mean that God feels any differently about any sin he mentioned in OT.
