You are quoting from the Old Testament/Old Covenant without consideration to the New Testament/New Covenant. That’s why you can’t see clearly.Do you really believe that is all there is to it? Do you believe that we can be the bride of Yahshua simply by believing these details, while ignoring the rest of what he said?
Do you believe this?:
(CLV) Mt 24:12
And, because of the multiplication of LAWLESSNESS, the love of many shall be cooling.
(CLV) Mt 24:13
Yet he who endures to the consummation, he shall be saved.
How about this?:
(CLV) Mt 5:17
"You should not infer that I came to demolish the law or the prophets. I came not to demolish, but to fulfill.
(CLV) Mt 5:18
For verily, I am saying to you, Till heaven and earth should be passing by, one iota or one serif may by no means be passing by from the law till all should be occurring.
(CLV) Mt 5:19
"Whosoever, then, should be annulling one of the least of these precepts, and should be teaching men thus, the least in the kingdom of the heavens shall he be called. Yet whoever should be doing and teaching them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
(CLV) Mt 5:20
For I am saying to you that, if ever your righteousness should not be superabounding more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, by no means may you be entering into the kingdom of the heavens.
What about this?:
(CLV) Mt 7:21
"Not everyone saying to Me `Lord! Lord!' will be entering into the kingdom of the heavens, but he who is doing the will of My Father Who is in the heavens.
(CLV) Mt 7:22
Many will be declaring to Me in that day, `Lord! Lord! Was it not in Your name that we prophesy, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many powerful deeds?'
(CLV) Mt 7:23
And then shall I be avowing to them that `I never knew you! Depart from Me, workers of lawlessness!'
I see that you backed up a few verses from this:
(CLV) Jn 5:46
For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for the writes concerning Me.
(CLV) Jn 5:47
Now if you are not believing his writings, how shall you be believing My declarations?"
I believe in the writings of Moses. Lets back up one more verse for even greater context.
(CLV) Jn 5:38
And His word you do not have remaining in you, for that One Whom He commissions, this One you are not believing.
Moses, all of the Prophets, Yochanan the Immerser, and Yahshua all had the same message. That is repentance, obedience to YHWH's word.
(CLV) Jn 14:6
Jesus is saying to him, "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one is coming to the Father except through Me.
========================================

(CLV) Jos 22:5

(CLV) 1Ki 2:3
You will keep the charge of Yahweh your Elohim to walk in His ways, to observe His statutes and His instructions, His ordinances and His testimonies as written in the law of Moses, so that you may act intelligently in all that you do and everywhere that you turn around,
(CLV) Ps 119:1
Happy are those whose way is flawless, Who are walking in the law of Yahweh.
(CLV) Pr 6:23
For instruction is a lamp, and law is a light, And the reproofs of admonition are the way to life,
(CLV) Isa 2:3
Many peoples will come and say: Come, and let us ascend to the Mount of Yahweh, To the house of the Elohim of Jacob; And He shall direct us out of His ways, So that we may indeed walk in His paths. For from Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
(CLV) Mal 2:8
Yet you withdraw from the way. You cause many to stumble at the law. You ruin the covenant of Levi, says Yahweh of hosts.
(CLV) Ac 24:14
"Yet I am avowing this to you, that, according to the way which they are terming a sect, thus am I offering divine service to the hereditary God, believing all that is written, according to the law and in the prophets,

(CLV) Ps 36:9
For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light shall we see light.
(CLV) Pr 6:23
For instruction is a lamp, and law is a light, And the reproofs of admonition are the way to life
=======================================

(CLV) Jn 8:31

Yahshua is the living Torah!
If we walk in his ways; we walk in the Torah.
Jesus death on the Cross changed things. Here is what Paul says about the reading of the Old Testament - as it relates to Christ - as it relates to righteousness:
2 Corinthians 3:13-16 KJV
13 “And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:” (What was abolished? The law!)
14 “But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.” (Reading the Old Testament to justify righteousness brings about the vail of spiritual blindness upon oneself).
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16 “Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.” (Only when we turn to the teachings of Christ in the New Covenant will that vail be removed).
Do you know what these scriptures mean?
When someone use the Old Testament scriptures to justify still being under the Old Testament laws, they are blinded to that which came, that is, they are blinded to the grace of God offered mankind under the New Testament, in the gospel of Jesus Christ, which tells us that Christ Has freed us from the law, that we have been redeemed by Him.
So what have we been redeemed from? We have been redeemed from the curse of the law that no man could escape.
Do you know why there is a curse over the law? The curse was put on the law by Israel themselves, a curse God honored.
You are unable to see Christ is our righteousness - and you have chosen to remain blind by reading the Old Testament in relation to righteousness. (You bring the vail off spiritual blindness upon yourself)
No amount of works - that is, no amount of keeping the law can make us righteous.
