Why aren't those who folow sola scriptura, like many Baptists for example, keeping the traditions of the Old Testament? Like, why aren't circumcisions mandatory for them or why do they believe in the Holy Trinity and many other Christian traditions?
These things are clearly founded in the Bible but they are never explicitly stated plainly, so why follow stuff that was decided by the councils?
Why don't you just follow what the Bible says?

Neither is the Trinity, yet many Baptists still hold that Roman philosophical doctrine as fact as well.
Matthew Lewis
Because baptists put their interpretation of the Bible above those who wrote it.

You're confusing the OT with the Mosaic Law or the Law of Moses. Not all the OT is the Mosaic Law. Genesis, Exodus, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Samuel, Kings, Job, Chronicles, and prophets ARE HISTORY. Some doctrine is in them here and there but the basic list of morality is Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.
History ALWAYS STANDS. However, Christians are not under the Mosaic Law because it was made obsolete and fulfilled with Christ death. Christians are now under the Covenant of Christ. That is why we don't animal sacrifice, Sabbath, dietary laws, and circumcise. That was meant only for Jews. Christ replaced all that with himself.
The Mosaic Law was done away with.
The rest of the Bible agrees that The Mosaic Law has come to an end.

What makes it even more apparent that the Mosaic Law is over is that A NEW LAW was put in its place. This is the Law of Christ or the Covenant of Christ. The mediator of the Mosaic Law was Moses. However, Jesus is now the mediator OF A NEW LAW.

The Old Testament PROPHESIED that the Mosaic Law or the Law Covenant would come to an end AND be replaced by a NEW covenant.

But also because the Apostles and the elders had a meeting about circumcision and they all unanamously concluded that it was no longer a necessity anymore and was to be done away with along with the rest of the Mosaic Law. Ac 15:6-29.
