No, but they should follow Old Testament priciples in their christian walk with God.

Yes, Christian must obey the OTAnd God said, .... and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. Genesis 17:19.

And Jesus said,...... "Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle shall nowise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:18-19

ANSWERS

Christians venerate the Old Testament as the true word of God. All of the books of the Old Testament are divinely inspired and retain a permanent value. They bear witness to the divine pedagogy of God's saving love. They are written, above all, to prepare for the coming of Christ the Savior of the universe.
