I'm not comparing them in the sense that we don't practice them for the same reason. We don't practice the first two because they're part of the Law which Jesus fulfilled and we therefore no longer are called to practice. We don't practice the last two because they no longer have the same function in our culture.

My point was to force us to see that we treat different passages in the Bible differently according to their time and purpose.
