Probably, I'm a vegetarian, so no bacon for me thanks.
Oh man now that's where I'm a hypocrite eating live animals and such. My coworker just sticks to actively avoiding pork saying there is something to religious texts. Oh but he likes his shrimp.

Do you, as a Christian, live your life according to the Bible? Before you answer "yes", consider this:
In Matthew 5:17-19, Jesus very explicitly says NOT to annul any of the OT laws. Those laws are to be followed. When he says Laws and Prophets, he is talking about the Torah (Genesis through Deuteronomy) as well as the books/scrolls of the Major and Minor prophets. Knowing that, reconsider the title question. Then answer these questions truthfully:
1. Do you eat pork in any form? Bacon, sausage, ham, pork chops?
2. Do you play football or toss a leather football around in your backyard?
If so, you are in violation of Leviticus chapter 11.
3. Women, how soon after giving birth do you go to church? If you had a boy, you are supposed to wait 33 days. If it is a girl, you are supposed to wait 66 days.
If you go to church before then, you are in violation of Leviticus chapter 12.
4. Do you lie at all, even a simple, little white lie? Do you tell your kids about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, etc.?
If so, you are in violation of Leviticus 19:11.
5. Do you wear garments made of different material? For example, do you have cotton shorts but wear silk boxers/panties? What about cotton boxers/panties but silk pajamas?
If so, you are in violation of Leviticus 19:19.
6. Men, do you sleep with your female slaves? What about the female slaves of another man?
If so, you are in violation of Leviticus 19:20-22.
7. Do you have any tattoos?
If so, guess what? You are in violation of Leviticus 19:28.
8. Have you ever been so mad that you cussed/cursed at your mother or father?
If so, you are to be put to death according to Leviticus 20:9.
9. Have you ever had sex with a woman that was menstruating, or did you as a woman have sex while on your period?
If so, you are in violation of Leviticus 20:18, and you both are to be banished from your people.
10. Have you ever gone to church and approached the altar/pulpit while having any of these: blindness, deafness, broken hand or foot, facial disfigurement, visual defect, dwarfism, eczema, scabs of any kind, or a crushed testicle?
If so, you are an abomination and in violation according to Leviticus 21:16-23.
So, are you TRULY Biblical? Or do you pick and choose?
There is a difference between the law and judgments under the law. The law -essentially the ten commandments -does not change. Judgments under the law do change.
Christ told people not to stone those who were caught in the act of adultery -which they were supposed to do under the old judgments.
Adultery is still a sin -the law has not changed -but what is to be done by men in response has changed.

Is there any type of Biblical language that you're using to make that discrepancy, or is that just your theology regardless of the language used throughout the Pentateuch?
Why would I do this when the Word is found within?
One response to this that I've seen is this: the dead were never obliged to follow the law. Christians have "died to the world" through baptism and therefore have been released from the law.Do you, as a Christian, live your life according to the Bible? Before you answer "yes", consider this:

It makes more sense with the original form of baptism: the new Christian would be held underwater to the point of drowning. They thought that they had literally died.
Also, you're ignoring other parts of the New Testament that say:
- the dietary rules have been done away with (either for everyone or just for Christians, depending on your interpretation)
- all the "everything is permissible" stuff in Colossians
- all the stuff in Romans about how Christians aren't supposed to judge each other for the religious requirements they do and don't keep - it's between them and God.
IMO, Christians are not bound by the Law that God gave to Israel. Jesus fulfilled he Law and took it out of the way. Ephesians 2:15 explains; "By means of his flesh he abolished the enmity, the Law of commandments consisting in decrees, in order to make the two groups [jews and non-jews] in union with himself into one new man and to make peace." "Therefore let no man judge you in eating and drinking or in respect of a festival or of an observance of the new moon or of a sabbath; for those things are a shadow of the things to come, but the reality belongs to the Christ.”—Colossians 2:16, 17.

The NT threw all the dietary laws out, anyway. Only those Jews who don't buy what St. Peter said still believe in practicing them.
But Christ freed us from the law. If they only knew...
