You should read further on, someone corrected me and I agreed with them. Please stop picking and choose what you're are stating against me.
Also, with all your accusations against me, let's see what Yeshua has to say about judging one another.
Matthew 7:1-5
“Judge not, that you be not judged. [SUP]2 [/SUP]For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. [SUP]3 [/SUP]And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? [SUP]4 [/SUP]Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? [SUP]5 [/SUP]Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Call it uprightness if you will.
EQUITYek'-wi-ti:
Is synonymous with "uprightness," which is found in Proverbs 17:26 Isaiah 59:14 Malachi 2:6 in place of the King James Version "equity." Ecclesiastes 2:21 has "skilfulness" and the Revised Version, margin "success" for the King James Version "equity." The context favors this translation of kishron, which is derived from kasher, "to succeed."
Equity is the spirit of the law behind the letter; justice is the application of the spirit of equity; honesty is the general everyday use of justice or fairness, equity being the interior or abstract ideal. The Court of Equity overrides the Court of Common Law, deciding not upon terms, but the spirit of the deed.
"Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it." Deuteronomy 1:17
"Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" Acts 10:34
"For there is no respect of persons with God." Romans 2:11
"But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons." Colossians 3:25
"My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons." James 2:1

I have sort of a question and a statement regarding the law (God's word,) and although this isn't about the enmity so much as it is about a continuation. It is slightly long, and I would apologize but I believe that God's word speaks throughout, and I want to be as thorough as possible. I did attempt to take out my own speculations...(for the most part.) 
in John 6, Jesus explains that in the wilderness the Hebrew people ate manna, but He Himself is the true manna. Giving us a picture of the bread that HE would give to us. (Living bread from heaven by His word, His body.)
John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
After Jesus arose from the dead, He is eating fish and bread with the disciples, and He asks Peter if he loves Him, three times, and then makes the statement: "feed my sheep." 3x (John 21:15-17)
Feeding sheep was not a new idea at that time. It was stated throughout the OT as well. Peter (being of Jewish decent, would have understood what it meant.)
The people in the wilderness, and in Israel were a set apart people for the work and purposes (as examples for/and) of God.
Paul explains that we are set apart in the same way that Israel was. (We, being grafted in.)
1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
1 Peter 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Psalms 4:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

So in Christ, we are to be examples, set apart, "peculiar," different....Israel was set apart for the same purpose and is a natural representation of what it means to be in the body of Christ.

Some OT Passages that speak on feeding HIS sheep:
When David was made king over Israel, he is told to feed the sheep:
2 Samuel 7:5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
2 Samuel 7:6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
2 Samuel 7:7 In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?
2 Samuel 7:8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
The people also expected and knew this of David, when they came to him before he was made king over the whole house of Israel.
2 Samuel 5:2 Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.
2 Samuel 5:3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel.
There were also those who did not feed the sheep of Israel:
Jeremiah 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 23:2 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
Ezekiel 34:2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
As the 23rd Palm says: "We are His people and the sheep of His pasture." (We are grafted in.)
Yet the original principle still stands..."feed my sheep." As Jesus told Peter after HE had risen from the dead, and as Paul also did in his ministry.
John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
As a people/a body in the wilderness, they were all required to uphold the same things, to do and speak the same things.
So what exactly do you believe changed in regards to feeding the sheep? Do you believe that it's the revelation that comes only from Jesus that we are to be ( "feeding"/ sharing) For the building up and edification of the saints, by Christ in us?
If so, is it possible to have sincere conversations about the entire bible without there being strife and name calling, such as, (judaizers,) when the intent is to grow and know the way of the LORD by seeking His Kingdom and His righteousness? And why do you believe that the Word itself was preserved, from beginning to end (for us)? Is it so that we can disregard any part of it?

I think you are on the right track, but you didn't word that clearly. The law is still in effect for sinners. Only believers are free of the law and it's constraints.
When Christ said "it is finished" He was referring to His whole reason for becoming flesh, not just the elimination of the law for believers.

Anyway, your post brings these scriptures to my mind.
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:" Philippians 2:5
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." Isaiah 26:3
there is very much a religious basis (several 'religious' reasons)
(not in yahshua hamashiach; but 'religious').
and most gentiles are still unclean anyway. (not repentant)1/3 of mankind dies then 2/3's of mankind still REFUSES TO STOP WORSHIPING DEMONS (rcc included, and balaam, budhists, islams, etc etc etc) ... and
so they die unforgiven.
Jews also that follow the prince of the power of the air are also, like the gentiles, unclean too.
Yahweh is no respecter of persons.

not at all.
the issue is trust in regulations , not regulations -- Jesus rebuked the TORAH teachers, but told his disciples to keep TORAH, by and in faith and obedience to YAHWEH HIS FATHER.
JESUS and the disciples always kept TORAH <<<BY FAITH, SIMPLY, LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN>>>.
they just did not TRUST TORAH to save them.

So the book of Revelation is irrelevant? Because that is about things that are too come, that have not come. I believe parts of the book of Revelation lines up with the book of Ezekiel in the prophecy of a physical kingdom on earth. Revelation is future tense based, not past tensed based.
