He knows people like you are only paying mouth service, when the challenge come you will quickly stowaway and do that which is convenient. Yet you put others under a yoke that you yourself will always fail when the challenge presents itself.

Mark 7
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Jesus pushed hypocrites like you to the limit. Will you kill your son according to the Moses if he curse you? Or would you bend the law like David did?

Any that teach you that the law has been put away, he also is the least in the kingdom. Math 5:17

But Goshen360 and his disciples don't preach the kingdom they preach death to Christ. grin

You must always try to apply the literal and allegorical to Scripture to get at the true meaning.

ACT 15 VS 1-24 (NKJV)
1: And certain men came down from Judea and taught the brethren, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”
2: Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and dispute with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them should go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, about this question.
3: So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
4: And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders; and they reported all things that God had done with them.
5: But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the Law of Moses.”
6: Now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter.
7: And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: “Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.
8: So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us,
9: and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10: Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11: But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we shall be saved in the same manner as they.”
12: Then all the multitude kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul declaring how many miracles and wonders God had worked through them among the Gentiles.
13: And after they had become silent, James answered, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to me:
14: Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name.
15 And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:
16 ‘After this I will return
And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down;
I will rebuild its ruins,
And I will set it up;
17: So that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD,
Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name,
Says the LORD who does all these things.’
18: “Known to God from eternity are all His works.
19: Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God,
20: but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood.
21: For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”

22: Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas who was also named Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.
23: They wrote this letter by them:
The apostles, the elders, and the brethren,
To the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia:
Greetings.
24: Since we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, “YOU MUST BE CIRCUMCISED AND KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES —TO WHOM WE GAVE NO SUCH COMMANDMENT

You must have missed out the judgment part passed by James regarding things the Heathen should abstain from which is all pointing back to (The Law) because of your lazyness, Lawlessness and blindness.
Re: You Must Keep The Law! by Kingdompartaker: 5:26pm On Dec 15, 2014
(Act 15 vs 19) judgment of James
After Barnabas and Paul told “about the signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles” (Acts 15:12), James spoke. As leader of the Jerusalem church, he had a lot of influence. Some of the Judaizers even claimed him as their authority (Gal. 2:12), But Luke tells us that James was in complete agreement with Peter and Paul.
“Listen to me. Simon [Peter] has described to us how God first intervened to choose a people for his name from the Gentiles” (Acts 15:13-14). The fact that God has already acted was powerful evidence. James then quoted from the (Book of Amos) to show that Scripture agreed with what was happening (vs. 15-18). He could have used other Old Testament prophecies, too, about Gentiles being included among God’s people.
Experience and Scripture pointed to the same conclusion. “This make James to conclude, therefore, they should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God”, There is no need to require the Yoke of Moses, for that would make things unnecessarily difficult for the Gentile believers.

(Act 15 vs 20)
James then suggested four rules: “Instead we should write to them (THIS DOES NOT IMPLIES THAT THEY ARE TO KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES), telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood”, Instead of making things difficult for the Gentiles, these four rules would be enough.
Obviously, Gentile believers should not lie, steal and murder. They already knew that, so they did not need a special reminder about it.

The Question now is why then these four rules?
These laws dated back to the time of Noah, and therefore applied to all Nations.
However, it is clear that Gentiles do not have to be circumcised, nor do they have to obey the Laws of Moses. They are circumcised spiritually, not physically. God never gave those commands to the Gentiles.

(Act 15 vs 21) Moses is preached
We should not make it difficult for the Gentiles, James said. Instead, it will be enough to give them four rules, which they will find easy to comply with. Why give them these rules? Notice the reason that James gives: “For the law of Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath” (Act 15 vs. 21).
James was not encouraging Gentile Christians to attend the synagogues. He was not saying they should listen to the Laws of Moses. No, but because those Laws were commonly preached, the apostles should tell the Gentiles four rules. Then they would not think that Christianity is more difficult than it is.

(ISA 6 VS 9)
9: And He said, “Go, and tell this people:

‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;
Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’

10: “Make the heart of this people dull,
And their ears heavy,
And shut their eyes;
Lest they see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their heart,
And return and be healed.”

Obviously, it is crystal clear that you have EYES, YOU CANNOT SEE, YOU HAVE EARS YOU CANNOT HEAR. Let me remind you, that before now, it is stated that; "GOD DEALT WITH THE GENTILES UNDER THE OLD PROGRAM, IMPUTING SIN TO THEM THROUGH ADAM (see: Gen 2 vs 17: Romans 5 vs 12-21). GENTILES WERE UNDER THE "NOAHIC COVENANT" (Gen 9), "ABRAHAMIC COVENANT" (Gen 12 vs 1-3; Romans 4). Again let me also remind you at this junction that the "SET OF FOUR RULES AS SUGGESTED BY JAMES FOR CHRISTIANS TO ABSTAIN FROM [EXISTED AS A FORM OF SIN] EVEN BEFORE THE GIVEN OF THE LAW OF MOSES, (Romans 5 vs 13, said, FOR UNTIL THE LAW, SIN WAS IN THE WORLD: read the following Scriptural verses for proof: IDOLATRY: (Gen 12 vs 1-3, Josh 24 vs 2): SEXUAL IMMORALITY: (Gen 18 vs 20; 19 vs 9): BLOOD: (Gen 4 vs 15; 9 vs 6 and FROM THINGS STRANGLED (Gen 9 vs 4).

(No Scripture in the Bible teaches that Gentiles nations had the LAW OF MOSES and were "UNDER OBLIGATION TO OBEY THE LAW OF MOSES).

QUESTION? ON WHOSE AUTHORITY ARE YOU ACTING, OBVIOUSLY; NOT THE APOSTLES OF JESUS, FOR THEY SAID, "NO ONE WAS GIVEN THE AUTHORITY OR COMMAND TO OBEY THE LAW OF MOSES). (Act 15 vs 24)
