Do not indicate I have mentione the Law of Moses, for, I have not
As for what Jesus teaches, He teaches we are to obey the commandments of God…. He clarified the law under grace, but He, as He says in Matthew, bby no means has destroyed it.
If you believe Moses is or was authorized to make up his own laws outside of God's will, I am afraid youhave been misinformed.

John makes a clear distinction between the Old and New Testaments. Here is what the Believers Bible tells us.
1:17 John contrasts the OT period and the NT era. The law that was given through Moses was not a display of grace. It commanded men to obey and condemned them to death if they failed to do so. It told men what was right but did not give them the power to do it. It was given to show men that they were sinners, but it could not save them from their sins. But grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. He did not come to judge the world but to save those who were unworthy, who could not save themselves, and who were His enemies. That is grace—heaven's Best for earth's worst.
Not only did grace come through Jesus Christ, but truth came by Him as well. He said of Himself, “I am ... the truth.” He was absolutely honest and faithful in all His words and works. He did not show grace at the expense of truth. Although He loved sinners, He did not love their sins. He knew that the wages of sin is death. And so He Himself died to pay the penalty of death that we deserved, in order that He might show undeserved kindness to us in saving our souls and giving us a home in heaven.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks, who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent. Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel. Isaiah 5:20-24
for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. Romans 11:29
the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises. Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen. Romans 9:4-5

To give a little background of "world history" (geographically speaking) for credibility purposes, as I have come to understand it, concerning "the idea?" The tribes that migrated north into Denmark, Britain, and eventually to, not only the U.S. of A., but Aussie Land as well?
Migrated over a mountain range in the Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia areas, known as the "Caucasus" mountains? Were "later" called "caucasians", by those scattered in a more southerly direction through Europe, Italy, Spain, etc. (get the "drift?"
).
Some even "earned the moniker" of being "labelled" "Saxons." Sons of Issac, or "Issac's Sons."
There must have been a "parting of the ways" between those who believed in "gods", from those who believed/followed the "God of Issac", further northwards to Norway, Sweden, Finland, and probably Iceland, as well.
By the time these "tribes" migrated? It stands to reason that "followers of nimrod", had already established themselves in these areas, after the "flood of Noah." (tower of Babel incident) Hence, the "paganism" that stems from the "nordic regions."

If you want to ignore the meaning of the word "keep" (guard with all our new heart soul and mind) that is your choice. It is written FOR your learning. Only Christ not seen could keep it perfectly . The law of Moses does what it was designed to do. Kill.
The law of faith is designed to heal and create anew. They work great as one perfect law of team work . They represent that father and the Son as one work of faith. One Spirit working as two..

It's impossible to determine if I descend from Manasseh or Ephraim or Dan or Simeon or Naphtali or Asher or Issachar or Zebulon or Gad or Benjamin or Joseph or Reuben because all of them had big noses.
Anyway ... great chances are I have some Jewish blood in my veins because my dad's nose was not only big, it was Jewish-style.
I've been to Israel three or four times, but remained confined within Tel Aviv airport throughout my two hour stay. It was an emotional experience to set foot in Israel, specially because I knew I was 6 km away from Lydda (where Peter healed Aeneas in the name of Jesus).
Those three or four times I was physically confined within the airport, but now I can go almost everywhere in Israel and at any time.
Google Map is a wonderful tool! and there's no security check, no passport control, .... , and what's more: no cost at all!

This is applicable to non-legalistic Christians. Those who claim the Law still applies, have to observe what is above and LITERALLY what is below:
Season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offerings; add salt to all your offerings. Leviticus 2:13 New International Version (NIV).
"Not one tittle will be removed from the Law until all is fulfilled" If you believe ALL has not yet been fulfilled then you must observe the LAW exactly as it was written plus the amendments made by the Lord Jesus.

Salvation, is God's gift through His grace by one's faith.
That being said? Salvation does NOT a "priest" make! Rather content (deceive) themselves, and others, to "live in the land where grace abounds." God "forbid!"
THIS, a "Priest" makes! Trust me! It ISN'T a gift either!
Hebrews 6
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
1 Peter 2
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

It is demonstrated in Matthew that Jesus teaches any who teach against the leasst of the laws will be the least in the Kingdom.
Moses wrote down what was given to him. There is not truth in the poplua (of men) saying thast the law is of Moses other than he wrote them down. The expression, sitting on the seat of Moses, is a reference to those who know the true law via Moses, but Jesus has clarified all………..He clarified: He did not destroy them
Please any who do not understand how Je4sus has completed dthe laws do not bring up the 611 laws, for any who understand the Word know Jesus made the lion's portion of them no longer useful nor followed. Please Hear Jesus on the entire subjec to what is sto be obeyed and what is not to be obeyed..
Enjoying the free gift of Salvation is no excue nor reason to purposely disobey all of the laws…...…..You will have to meditatte on this if yo do not already understand.. God bless all in Jesus, Yeshua, aamen.
