In the same manner you judge...
So it's your contention it's better to ignore just PARTS of it?
Greetings.
24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said. 25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.
Farewell.

That comment is deeply dishonest.
I’ve ignored no part of it; I just refuse to stretch the meaning of any part of it. You constantly disregard the reason they stated for their limited list of beginning requirements.
They simply wanted to give them the most critical requirements, knowing that if their faith was real, they would learn it all by hearing it read in their synagogue every Sabbath day.
These apostles were true men of God, and knew the penalty for changing the commandments. They never would alter an eternal commandment.
