Who has suggested "discarding" the Old Testament? Your comments imply that someone has made that suggestion.
My point is that Adam, Noah, Moses, etc, all had a different set of rules they had to follow. While we don't "discard" the OT, we would be sinning if we were to abide by those rules. And if you recognize that we are not to abide by the same rules as Noah, for example, then it doesn't make sense to say that the OT "applies" to us today. Obviously most of it can't "apply" to someone whose sin has already been paid for, since the majority of the OT (with regard to atonement) is all about paying for it over and over again.
