I learned recently that the book of John is the most Jewish of the gospels, pretty cool. Just because it was written in greek (actually aramaic which is a slang form of Hebrew) doesn't make what YHWH told the Israelites obsolete...
that's like saying the consitution gives us freedom to do whatever we want...yes but it's the freedom to do what's right....do not violate someone elses freedom or break the constitution because then it's no longer your "freedom" ... same thing with the ten commandments....no we can't keep them apart from Yeshua and we needed them to show us we were sinners, because I know many people who tell me they are good people or at least not as bad as so and so, but sin is sin and the commandments show us this and Yeshua even furthered that it's not just the act of sinning but even the thought of sinning that makes us sinners ... but through HIS mercy/lovingkindness we don't get something we do deserve which is death because Romans 6:23 tells us the wages of sin is death...and by Yeshua's grace/favor we do get something we don't deserve - the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord as the rest of Romans 6:23 tells us. We have HIS grace and HE didn't break even one commandment and not just the 10 but also the whole 613 that are in the first 5 books of the Bible. Of course we don't do the sacrificial laws anymore since Yeshua was our once for all sacrifice.
