"For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. For He who said, 'Do not commit adultery,' also said, 'You shall not murder.' Now if you do not commit adultery, but yet you murder, then you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty." James 2:10-12
The Spirit will never instruct a person to keep the letter of the law. I don't know how to say it any more plainly.

It is the 8th millenium that comes after the 7th millenium that comes after the 6th millenium. The Scriptures teach us about the 8th day at the end of Sukkot as an additional Holy Day. It also teaches us that after Passover, 7 weeks of Sabbaths are counted for 49 days and the 50th day is also the 1st day of the week which we know is Pentecost/Shavuot. And Scripture also teaches about the 49 years followed by the 50th year which is also the first year of the next Jubilee cycle.
Lev 23:36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
What is a holy convocation? It is a dress rehearsal that teaches you Yehovah's and Yeshua's plans for our future. But most Christians don't know this because they have swallowed the lie from the liar that the Old Testament laws are done away with. That is so wrong on many levels. What is the reason circumcision was to be done on the 8th day, which Mary and Joseph did for Jesus? And no, the answer is not because they were Jewish, but because they desired to be obedient to the LORD Yehovah. We, too, with the gift of the helper, the Holy Spirit, desire to be obedient to the LORD. This is the only way we have to show our love for God and our love for our neighbors.
The scriptures say do not add or diminish any of the laws/instructions, for you will be found guilty of iniquity/lawlesness. You don't have much time left to start being obedient, just like Jesus was, and we are to follow Jesus's example, and walk like he walked or choose disobedience and hear these words:
Luk 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Luk 13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
Why just keep 9 when there are 10? If the law is done away with and Jesus is the reason for your disobedience, you are heading down the broad path that leads to destruction. Oh you vipers and rebellious ones. You are blind and deaf. May you be healed quickly before it is to late.

Do Christians observe Passover or those High Sabbath days (See Leviticus 23 if you dare to look and see)? No, most don't and thus they have no conscience about needing to "circumcise the foreskin of their flesh". God forbid that we suffer only a little for our LORD after all that Christ did for us.
Mat_16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mar_8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mar_10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Luk_9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Exo 12:48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
Jesus was circumcised. Luk 2:21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Joh_1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
1Jn 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1Jn 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1Jn 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1Jn 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1Jn 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1Jn 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
1Sa_15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
Rev_1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

This makes more sense friend,
2 Peter 1
Easy-to-Read Version
1 Greetings from Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ.
To all of you who share in the same valuable faith that we have. This faith was given to us because our God and Savior Jesus Christ always does what is good and right.
2 Grace and peace be given to you more and more, because now you know God and Jesus our Lord.
God Has Given Us Everything We Need
3 Jesus has the power of God. And his power has given us everything we need to live a life devoted to God. We have these things because we know him. Jesus chose us by his glory and goodness, 4 through which he also gave us the very great and rich gifts that he promised us. With these gifts you can share in being like God. And so you will escape the ruin that comes to people in the world because of the evil things they want.
5 Because you have these blessings, do all you can to add to your life these things: to your faith add goodness; to your goodness add knowledge; 6 to your knowledge add self-control; to your self-control add patience; to your patience add devotion to God; 7 to your devotion add kindness toward your brothers and sisters in Christ, and to this kindness add love. 8 If all these things are in you and growing, you will never fail to be useful to God. You will produce the kind of fruit that should come from your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But those who don’t grow in these blessings are blind. They cannot see clearly what they have. They have forgotten that they were cleansed from their past sins.
10 My brothers and sisters, God called you and chose you to be his. Do your best to live in a way that shows you really are God’s called and chosen people. If you do all this, you will never fall. 11 And you will be given a very great welcome into the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, a kingdom that never ends.
12 You already know these things. You are very strong in the truth you have. But I am always going to help you remember them. 13 While I am still living here on earth, I think it is right for me to remind you of them. 14 I know that I must soon leave this body. Our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me that. 15 I will try my best to make sure you remember these things even after I am gone.
We Saw Christ’s Glory
16 We told you about the power of our Lord Jesus Christ. We told you about his coming. The things we told you were not just clever stories that people invented. No, we saw the greatness of Jesus with our own eyes. 17 Jesus heard the voice of the great and glorious God. That was when he received honor and glory from God the Father. The voice said, “This is my Son, the one I love. I am very pleased with him.” 18 And we heard that voice. It came from heaven while we were with Jesus on the holy mountain.[a]
19 This makes us more sure about what the prophets said. And it is good for you to follow closely what they said, which is like a light shining in a dark place. You have that light until the day begins and the morning star brings new light to your minds. 20 Most important of all, you must understand this: No prophecy in the Scriptures comes from the prophet’s own understanding. 21 No prophecy ever came from what some person wanted to say. But people were led by the Holy Spirit and spoke words from God.

Galatians chapter 5
[1] Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
[2] Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
[3] For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
[4] Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
[5] For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
[6] For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
[7] Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
[8] This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
[9] A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
[10] I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
[11] And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
[12] I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

If one takes the time to study and understand the Jewish 613, you would know that Jesus was not a farmer, not a woman, and not an earthly priest. Why do the ignorant think that there are 613 laws one single person must keep.
The covenant given at Mount Sinai/the marriage contract...the people did not keep, so the LORD in His wisdom, renewed the covenant by giving us a Helper. We are saved by grace, and then comes FRUIT. How do you present yourself as a BRIDE to the LORD? unblemished. Righteous. Wearing white garment. So there is no more sacrifice after Jesus. If you continue to sin, then you are not showing love to God and Jesus by keeping the instructions/laws/commandments, etc. etc. You are missing huge hunks of the full picture when you believe the lie that the law was done away with because Paul talks about the ORAL LAWS that were added to the LORD's commandments. That is why Paul says we are not under the law meaning those oral laws we are not under. Jesus was the perfect Rabbi/teacher/master because He taught the scriptures in practical ways that do not violate and nullify the Torah/instructions/manual/laws/commandments/etc. etc. Jesus wanted us to know that the Torah is not a buden or grievous. They sent us the Holy Spirit to guide us and fill us with the peace that passes all understanding.
1Jn 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
1Jn 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Mat_22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mar_12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Luk_10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
And where did Jesus quote from?
Deu_6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Deu_10:12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
Deu_11:13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
Deu_13:3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deu_30:6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
Of the Ten Commandments, the first four are how God asks us to love Him. The following six commandments are how God instructs us to love others. You can take the 613 and put them each into one of the ten commandments.
So what about the least of the commandments?
Deu 22:6 If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:
Deu 22:7 But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.
Mat_5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Here are some verses that might help make sense:
Romans 9: 31-32 But Israel, who followed after the Law of Righteousness, hath not attained to the Law of Righteousness. Why? Because they sought it not by faith but, as it were, by the works of the Law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Talking about Israel in Rom 10: 3-4 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.
Matt 22: 36-40 Master, which is the great commandment in the Law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt lovr the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and prophets.
1 John 2:10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him.
John 15: 9-14 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you; continue in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in His love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you.
John 15: 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
Gal 5: 13-14 For brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even ( that is) in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Rom 7: 6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead in which we were held, that we should serve in newness of spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.
Gal 5: 5-6 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith which worketh by love.
