Are there people alive today subject to different commands than others also alive today? Or are all alive today subject to the same commandments?

Yes, some commandments / laws / instructions are only applicable to men; some only to women; some only to Levitical priests; etc. Some commandments / laws / instructions simply can't be obeyed because the conditions required to carry out those commandments / laws / instructions simply don't exist today.
Do we have Levitical priests today?

Do you have some specific examples of what you mean?
Any and all commandments / laws / instructions that require a physical temple in Jerusalem cannot be obeyed today, as there is currently not a physical temple in Jerusalem.
# That wasn't the question I asked. Someone first asked: >Are there people alive today subject to different commands than others also alive today? I had asked you for an specific example of this and you provided an explanation of how it might theoretically happen. Can you name a specific person as an example in each category? Do they really exist? Or is one category just theoretical?
Sure. Commandments / laws / instructions that are sex-specific are obvious examples: Leviticus 12:2-5 Genesis 17:10-14 Numbers 30:1-16 Leviticus 15:16-28
# Okay let's look at this first one. >Leviticus 12:5 But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her menstruation. And she shall continue in the blood of her purifying for sixty-six days. Who does this apply to today?
