Apparently not.

Do you “keep” this declaration:

Matthew 5:

[17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
[18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
[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.
[20] For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

obviously, no Pharisee will enter the Kingdom, who would wish to join them?

The Pharisees were strict followers of the Torah but were lacking in heart what God required.
But go ye and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

As I said, as long as you love God, your neighbor, and keep the 10 Commandments,that is enough, and do not need the 613 laws of the Torah.

That is my keeping of the Gospel.

Case is closed.
