did yahweh ever, ever, ever tell anyone to obey NON_LITERAL commandments??!! I don't think so!

In fact, HE reiterated 9 of the 10 literal Commandments personally:
So, Christians are not obligated to keep the Old Testament law because were under a new covenant.On the other hand, Christians should obey the 10 Commandments because they are carried over into the New Testament, except the sabbath.1 Six of the Commandments are listed in Matthew 19:18, murder, adultery, stealing, false witness, honor parents, and worshiping God. Romans 13:9 mentions no coveting. Worshiping God properly (Matt. 22:37; John 4:24) covers the first three commandments. These morals are based on the character of God and so they are included in the New Testament. Furthermore, Jesus said in Matthew 22:37, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind." He was quoting Deuteronomy 6:5. In addition, in Matthew 22:39 he said "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." He was quoting Leviticus 19:18. So, since he was telling us to love God and love our neighbor and he was quoting the Old Testament, then we are obligated to keep those Old Testament laws. Think of it this way. When we love God and our neighbor, then we will "accidentally" keep the moral law and treat others well.

Salvation is not by the Law
A very important point that we need to make is that Christians are not to keep the law in order to be saved from God's righteous judgment. Christians are not under the law. . .

In fact, this verse certainly is talking about Literal Commandments.
1 John 5:3 (NIV)
