Is that the best spin you got Hiz, I was hoping for more from you!
But thanks for posting me, i appreciate that!
The Jews of that last generation of Old Covenant Israel, 30ad to 70ad
were the object of God's discontent,
as hard as want to separate them from what your doing, you cannot!
Jesus said that He did not come to do away with the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfill them!
And He DID!
He did for the Jews (Old Covenant Israel) what they could not do for themselves!
in doing this, Jesus Christ became the TRUE Israel!
In doing that, He did for the Gentiles what they could not do for themselves!
And He did for the rest of the world what they could not do for themselves!
Thus the Preaching of the Gospel to the world.
There is no other Law of Yahweh, to follow Hiz!
Jesus said, pick up your Cross and follow Me!
The Apostle Paul wrote over 100 times these phrases;
In Christ; in Christ Jesus; in Jesus; in Him; in Whom, we have our life and being!
When we are found in these places, in Him we are made perfect in God's sight!
Because Christ suffered and fulfilled the requirements of God for sin, and was made perfect in them!
Them being the Law and the Prophets!
They are perfected in Him alone Hiz, in Jesus Christ!
That is why He has a Name that is above every name,
and that is why He has a Name no one else can know but Him!
Though I am made perfect in Christ Jesus, the Law and the Prophets are never perfected in me, or you!
The Laws of Christ abound in me because of the Love of God and the power of the Spirit of God!
Through Charity, the Love of the Brethren, Hope, Faith, Belief, Kindness, etc....
I love the Old Testament Scriptures more than my own life,
but God has not ever given me to follow after His Law;
I follow Christ Jesus! I'm sorry but you misrepresent the Scripture!
Jesus said, ...My yoke is easy and My burden is light, come pick up your cross and follow Me..
So to label what is being talked about here as Judaizers in a correct term;
you stop trying to hang the Law of God on those in the Christian faith,
and people will stop calling you and yours, Judaizers!
many blessings
Forgive me im a bit tired.
No the Jews of the 1st century had already broken the covenant, even before Yahshua came, have you not read the prophets?
Mattithyah 15:2-3, "Why do Your disciples transgress the traditions of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat. But He answered, and said to them: And why do you transgress the Laws of Yahweh by your traditions?"
and here are the pharisee telling on themselves.
Talmud - Mas. Baba Metzia 59b
We learnt elsewhere: If he cut it into separate tiles, placing sand between each tile: R. Eliezer declared it clean, and the Sages declared it unclean; and this was the oven of ‘Aknai.1 Why [the oven of] ‘Aknai? — Said Rab Judah in Samuel's name: [It means] that they encompassed it with arguments2 as a snake, and proved it unclean. It has been taught: On that day R. Eliezer brought forward every imaginable argument ,3 but they did not accept them. Said he to them: ‘If the halachah agrees with me, let this carob-tree prove it!’ Thereupon the carob-tree was torn a hundred cubits out of its place — others affirm, four hundred cubits. ‘No proof can be brought from a carob-tree,’ they retorted. Again he said to them: ‘If the halachah agrees with me, let the stream of water prove it!’ Whereupon the stream of water flowed backwards — ‘No proof
can be brought from a stream of water,’ they rejoined. Again he urged: ‘If the halachah agrees with me, let the walls of the schoolhouse prove it,’ whereupon the walls inclined to fall. But R. Joshua rebuked them, saying: ‘When scholars are engaged in a halachic dispute, what have ye to interfere?’ Hence they did not fall, in honour of R. Joshua, nor did they resume the upright, in honour of R. Eliezer; and they are still standing thus inclined. Again he said to them: ‘If the halachah agrees with me, let it be proved from Heaven!’ Whereupon a Heavenly Voice cried out: ‘Why do ye dispute with R. Eliezer, seeing that in all matters the halachah agrees with him!’
But R. Joshua arose and exclaimed: ‘It is not in heaven.’4 What did he mean by this? — Said R. Jeremiah: That the Torah had already been given at Mount Sinai; we pay no attention to a Heavenly Voice, because Thou hast long since written in the Torah at Mount Sinai, After the majority must one incline.5R. Nathan met Elijah6 and asked him: What did the Holy One, Blessed be He, do in that hour? — He laughed [with joy], he replied, saying, ‘My sons have defeated Me, My sons have defeated Me.’ It was said: On that day all objects which R. Eliezer had declared clean were brought and burnt in fire.7 Then they took a vote and excommunicated him.
DO you follow Marionisim?
I dont see Messiah being in opposition to anything Yahweh Commanded.
Mattithyah 5:18, "For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh--the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected."
Luke 16:17, "But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one yodh of the Law to fail."
You wrote:
"Jesus said, ...My yoke is easy and My burden is light, come pick up your cross and follow Me.."
So this means no rules party time!?@%!?

Mattithyah 7:23, "But then I will declare to them; I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who practice iniquity."

Revelation 22:12-15, "And behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work will be. I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who keep His Laws, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and worshipers of gods and everyone who professes to love, yet practices falsehood."
Isayah 42:21, "Yahweh is well-pleased, for His righteousness' sake, to magnify the Law, and make it honorable"
Mattithyah 19-17-21, "But He said to him: Why do you question Me about righteousness? There is only One Who is the standard of perfection, and that is Yahweh; so if you would enter into life, keep the Laws of Yahweh. He then asked Yahshua; Which ones? Yahshua said: You shall not murder. You shall not ccommit adultery. You shall not dsteal. You shall not bear false testimony. Honor your efather and mother, and; You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The young man said to Him; All these things I have kept from my youth up; what do I yet lack? Yahshua said to him: If you want to come to the perfection of Yahweh, go and sell of what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and you will be walking in Yahweh's ways, and following Me."
Mattithyah 5:20-30, ""For I say to you: Unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will certainly not enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh. You have heard that it was said by the people of ancient times: You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment; But I say to you: Whoever is angry with his brother will be in danger of the judgment! Again, anyone who says; Raca! insulting your brother, will be in danger of the Sanhedrin, but whoever says: Nabel! desiring them to fall away, will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna. Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you; Leave your gift there before the altar, and go first and be reconciled with your brother; then come and offer your gift. Settle a controversy with your accuser quickly, before he gets you into court; or your adversary may deliver you to the judge, the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be put into prison. Truly I say to you: You will never come out of there until you have paid the last penny. You have heard that it was said by the people of ancient times: You shall not commit adultery; But I say to you: Whoever looks on a woman with lust for her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your right eye causes you to offend; sin, gouge it out and throw it from you! For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than for the whole body to be cast into Gehenna. Or if your right hand causes you to offend, cut it off and throw it from you! For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than for the whole body to be cast into Gehenna."
Isayah 8:20, "To the Law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."
Revelation 12:17, "And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went to make war with those who forsook her seed; her seed being those who keep the Laws of Yahweh, and have the testimony of Yahshua Messiah."
