Don’t be a fool, please!
John’s first epistle was written to tell us that “believing in Jesus” was living as he lived, exactly.
That means living “in covenant.”
Read the epistle!

Uh-huh, and the Apostle Paul very specifically said that the old covenant was fulfilled in Jesus and people requiring the laws of the old covenant were enemies of Jesus.
(Psst, that includes #FakeRabbi Rood.)
They—that is, people demanding fealty to Jewish laws like #FakeRabbi Rood—should chop their own balls off, is what I think Paul said.
And I didn’t even have to twist and contort words that the Apostle said in order to make that point.
