Not just this. Christ gave us more than 50 commandments, which your brethren either ignore or make fun of.

Prove it. Show us where any one made fun of Jesus' commandments or ignored them.

How many posts by your crowd sneer at the putting outselves under the Law? Jesus did not do away with the Law. He just made sure that we really understood it. You yourself have posted in this manner.

He made sure that we really understood it so we'd really see our need for Him and realize all the more that we COULDN'T do it. He didn't do that to put us under more bondage than ever.

We're under the new covenant now. When we put our faith in Christ, the righteous requirements of the Law are fulfilled in us because Jesus fulfilled them with His righteous life and when we are in Christ, that is fulfilled in us.

Anyone who is in Christ is no longer bound by the Law. We are free in him, something that is quite obviously well beyond the ability of most Catholics to comprehend.

We are FREE. Do you not understand what freedom is or means?

Romans 7:1-6 1Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives? 2For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage. 3Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.

4Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. 6But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.

Romans 8:1-4 1There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
