If you think you must follow the Levitical laws, why are you still eating Pork, Shellfish, wearing mixed polyester threads, why are you shaving, why are not sacrificing animals, have you stoned any children to death recently?
What about when your Sister or Mother is on her period, have you sent her out of the house and cleaned everything she has touched?
All these thing's and more are required under the Old Covenant, when something is fufilled , it's purpose is made real, , Christ did not do away with the Law because that would presume it was useless , however he completed it, he brought everything that the Law aimed to create (that being a relationship with God) and "Fulfilled/Completed that purpose" in himself, when he washed away our Sins and created the Second Covenant
Quote: Romans 10:4 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Quote: Hebrews 7 18The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless 19(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
Quote: 2 Corinthians 3:6 6 who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Quote: Hebrews 9:15 15 For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
Quote: Hebrews 8:13 13 When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear
Quote: Galatians 5:1-5 1 Stand a fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is 2a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. notice the bolded, where it plainly states that attempting to adhere to the law will push you "further from Christ" also remember that Circumcision was the sign of how someone would enter the covenant of the Law, a sign of there participation.
You are under no Obligation to keep the law, you can put your earrings back in now.
There are at least another six or seven verses that I can bring to further show this point.

I always found this subject critically interesting, for many reasons of course, the new testament doesn't recap over everything the old testament said, this of course bothered me, many people have read me scriptures saying that all the rules should be ignored, however taking one scripture out of text, that can be made to mean anything you want it to. Its hard for me to imagine that someone can go and disobey God, knowing its wrong, then ask for forgives and there will be no consequences. I cant be 100% sure on what advice to give you, however I personally believe if its not specifically mentioned in the new testament then the old should still stand. God didn't have the old testament written for kicks and giggles, there are lessons and rules that should be learned and observed.
If Jesus were standing in front of you would you be wearing you earrings?
