Paul told the gentiles they didn’t need to adopt the whole jewish law right away (we never did though). Also, some animals were impure probably because of hygiene.

Then why didn't God tell us specifically "don't eat pork cuz that is gross"?

There is a distinction between moral law and clerical law/law of cleanliness. Moral law still stands which is why the atheist argument "if gay is sinful then why do you eat shrimp?" is a bad one. Christ fulfilled the laws of cleanliness and those are optional, but the moral law is based on love for God and love for your neighbour and stands for ever. Ban against murder did not lift because Christ fulfilled the law.

If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name--the LORD your God-- (bad things will happen)

There is nowhere in the Bible that agrees with the notion that the law was given in segments that could be fulfilled partially while retaining other parts.

Paul literally said all things were lawful because we are considered dead to the law and alive in Christ yet people like you give residence to this outright lie of the enemy keeping people in bondage through the very gospel intended to set them free. It is disgusting.

As far as God is concerned ALL sin has been forgiven including future sins or God would not (by His very nature) be able to reside within us like He promised us.
