The difference is that the New Testament explicitly rejects at least part of the Old Testament's rules: http://crossexamined.org/cherry-picking-the-bible-are-christ....

Moreover, the elevation of faith over adherence to law as the path to salvation also has the effect of deemphasizing the latter.

And yet, there is a nice quote, attributed to Jesus himself, in the New Testament, saying that "I am not here to replace the old laws". Which can be interpreted as meaning that the OT still is relevant.
