Yes. In fact, they have been incorporated in the body of Western law.

There have been attempts by various religious organizations and ministers to tell us that "the old laws" were nailed to the cross, that Jesus nullified them, or other assorted theories why we should not obey them. These interpretations are based, not on The Bible, but upon their interpretation of isolated verses in the New Testament.

One famous theory for eating forbidden meat is the vision of the sheet that Peter saw. Yet even in the same chapter, Peter interpreted his own vision to mean that God did not want him to judge men as clean or unclean, not meat.

If one decides that the words of Jesus are to be the criteria for deciding that the laws are to be followed, then in Matthew He is quoted as saying that not one jot of tittle of the law shall not pass away until all that must be accomplished is accomplished. Since there are several wars that have not happened that were predicted, all things have not been accomplished. Therefore, the laws of the Old Testament still are in effect.
