I thought the old testament was supposed to be irrelevant/null and void after Jeebus and the new new testament.

But actually following Jesus' teaching would be way too progressive. As far as I remember he was basically a hippie, advocating for love, helping each other out and the poor, and strongly against hate and capitalism. And he didn't quite like the old traditions. So I think as a christian as of today you definitely need some counterbalance and some other book to point at to defend your conservatism, egoistcal behaviour and hate towards people who aren't 100% like yourself.
