You are completely confused.

Yeshua demanded that we keep the Father’s commandments.

He said that those that love him keep those commandments.

Paul said “not readers of the law, but doers of the law will be justified.” James said the same thing.

What about that do you consider “imposing?”

Yeshua also said that he came only to “the lost sheep of the House of Israel.”

Do you honestly believe that you are not one of those lost sheep?

You desire to send “young christians” into “outer darkness?”

No one that is not either one of “the lost sheep of the House of Israel,” or one of “them that sojourn with her,” will be resurrected in “the first resurrection.” That point is plainly made in the Gospels, and the Epistles.

No. I am in the category of “other sheep, not in this flock.”

If you do not understand the whole book of Romans, it doesn’t help to pick a verse you like. I suggest you make a complete outline of Romans - as I have of every book in the Bible - and you will see that the verse you pick out is in a context that leads to the Gospel and doesn’t stand alone.

Jesus Christ said that those who keep his teaching love Him.

He did not say, “I will only love and give salvation to those who obey first.”

Yea, I saw how you tried to make it say something to support legalism. It doesn’t

In Acts 15, the Council did NOT require gentile converts to keep the Law. The Council did retain the prohibitions on eating blood, meat containing blood, and meat of animals not properly slain, and on fornication and idolatry.

That which the Apostles did not require, and that was never kept by Jews, you want to latch onto Christians and make it a condition of salvation.

It simply is not.

Acts 15: The Council’s Letter to Gentile Believers

22 Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to choose some of their own men and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, men who were leaders among the believers. 23 With them they sent the following letter:

The apostles and elders, your brothers,

To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia:

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.

.....................................

No Torah requirement. No Law. From the Apostles all gathered together after discussion - and delivered to them via the Holy Spirit.

I will accept the Word of God, the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and the Apostles over your theories FRiend.
