Many of the Old Testament dictates such as dietary restrictions and such were meant for the Jews only and not for New Testament Christianity
Interesting. So the dietary laws aren’t really laws, but the law against homosexuality (in the same book) and the advice against alcohol (from proverbs) is law?
Sounds like you pick and choose based on what’s convenient and aligns with your personal morality.

You need to define what you mean by “law”
First, the word for “law” in Hebrew usually means “teaching”, and does mean that when referring to Torah (more appropriately “map pointing the way”)
Second, there is casuistic and apodictic law in the Hebrew Bible (just like the modern law system). The latter is not all necessarily the same either. There were cleanliness laws, societal laws, etc.
Which ones are you talking about? Because you’re conflating all of them.

This is easily explained. The dietary laws, such as not eating shellfish, are not reaffirmed in the New Testament. The practice of homosexuality is denounced in both.
