While religion is about choice Christianity advocates that the Law was fulfilled in Christ and so reading the Pentateuch as instructions to Christians would make it necessary to eat clean foods, wear my beard long and not wear clothing containing both Cotton and Rayon as these rules are also in the Pentateuch. While it is everyone's God-given right to educate their children as they see fit. Applying single verse proof texts to make it a requirement on those who believe in God and Jesus to homeschool is unwise, it would be much better to demonstrate that Christians apply their scriptures in a logical manner and say that as Christians we exercise our liberty to educate ourselves in a home schools as it is our duty to teach what we deem good doctrine to our children.
I follow the moral laws in the Old Testament; I do not follow the ceremonial laws because they have already been fulfilled in Christ. I have no need to follow those as Christ fulfilled them. But the moral laws I am commanded to and must obey. So must you.
