If you love him, you keep his commandments, as he demanded, and as John repeated in his first epistle.

You are making the assumption that the commandments of Jesus are the same as the commandments of God in the O.T...

.

I make no assumption.

Yeshua and Yehova are the same God. (”I and my Father are one”)

They are the very same commandments that Yeshua had to completely obey to be our perfect sacrifice.

Torah is the definition of Righteousness, as transgression of Torah is the definition of sin.

The Gospel that Moses preached in the desert is the very same Gospel that the apostles proclaimed, as Paul so eloquently declared in Hebrews 3 and 4. There is no difference; what was righteousness at Sinai in 1500 BC is righteousness today.

All of your out of context, misunderstood, single verses that you post so constantly do not contradict this fact if read in the full context of the epistles they are ripped from.

If you want it in simple words, John's first epistle is the place to get it:

1John.2

[1] My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
[2] And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
[3] And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
[4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
[5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
[6] He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
[7] Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.


There it is in simple words.

Do you claim to know him?

And you do not accept his commandments?

Then the truth is not in you!

Christ was the Word made flesh.....not that I’m supporting Editor. Editor is influenced by notions derived from the priestly order of Aaron...Christ was of the order of Melchizidek(also mentioned in Hebrews).

Aaron casts stones at those who are accused of sin. Christ makes us all into living Stones. Under Aaron we are bent reeds and glowing coals with the expectation of being broken or snuffed out respectively! Under Christ bent reeds are not broken and glowing coals are not snuffed out. The reeds are allowed to mature into full fruitfulness and the coals are fanned again into everlasting flame!

Under Aaaron we are chained by ritual and made to feel guilty or to become angry at the manipulations of the wolves in sheeps’ clothing. Under the Spirit of Christ, we have our Liberty as we too are given “power to become the son’s of God” !
