No one, not even Yeshua, can keep or obey ALL its requirements.
Which we know was not because he was trying to obey the Torah but to keep to what the Holy Spirit had directed him to do. He taught that the old law was abolished. You can't use this in an attempt to nullify his teaching on that. Shame on you for using the scriptures against themselves.
King James Version
But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
The scriptures speak for themselves. If you believe that they go against each other; then it would appear that the supposed contradiction is in your understanding of the scripture.
PASSOVER
“And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD {Yahweh} throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance FOREVER.” (Exodus 12:14)
And because they DIDN'T keep it, he promised a new covenant.
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.
And, the law passed because all occurred. He was the only person who kept the law perfectly and he nailed the law of Moses to the cross, just as Paul wrote.
Naturally Paul went to Jewish feasts so he could share the gospel with them. He went to synagogues for the same reason. He wanted to gain them who were under the law. Paul taught to not be under the law.
Gal_5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Romans 2:12 - For as many as have sinned without Law will also perish without Law, and as many as have sinned in the Law will be judged by the Law 13 (for not the hearers of the Law [are] just in the sight of Yahweh, but the doers of the Law will be justified;
Romans 3:31 - Do we then make void the Law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
Romans 7:12 - Therefore the Law [is] holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.
Romans 7:22 - For I delight in the Law of Yahweh according to the inward man.
This is the law of the new covenant. He spoke differently about the old law:
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law- Galatians 3:13
the law entangles with the yoke of bondage- Galatians 5:1
if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law - Galatians 5:18
the strength of sin is the law- 1 Corinthians 15:56
ye also are become dead to the law - Romans 7:4
the law worketh wrath- Romans 4:15
we are not under the law- Romans 6:15
we are delivered from the law- Romans 7:6
we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter- Romans 7:6
As it is written in scripture; some people have a difficult time understanding Paul.
Thankfully, Yahshua makes it crystal clear:
(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.
The scripture is twisted you say. The Torah was not kept after Christ. There are commands under Christ's law which were also in the old law. But we do not obey the Torah, we obey 'the perfect law of liberty.'
The fact that murder is outlawed under Christ's law (in fact his command 'binds' murder to hatred) does not mean we are keeping the Torah when we obey that command. The old law was nailed to the cross just as Paul wrote. Your response is to call Paul twisted. I didn't write the New Testament. You can't obey the Torah. For one, it has more than one covenant and they have all been fulfilled in Christ.
If you were to obey the Torah you'd have to decide which part. The law of Moses made a division of clean and unclean animals which was not in effect after the flood. So which do you chose to obey?
But there are no Levitical priests nor is there any longer an earthly tabernacle or altar to offer sacrifices on. It is impossible to go back to the law of Moses, even if you wanted to.
He is the only one to live a sinless life under the old covenant and it's laws, 1 Peter. 2:22; Hebrews 4: 15, so you are most assuredly wrong here.

Naturally Paul went to Jewish feasts so he could share the gospel with them. He went to synagogues for the same reason. He wanted to gain them who were under the law. Paul taught to not be under the law.
Gal_5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
It is twisted by YOU. I seem to remember that Paul himself went to the Temple (this is "after rist as yosay) and in fact took a nazirite vow! So again you are wrong. You said: "But we do not obey the Torah, we obey the perfect law of liberty. So you are saying that Yeshua did not teach Torah? So He and His Father are not one, their house is divided and can not stand. Which parts? The parts that apply to you. It has always been that way. Sin is the transgression of the Law.
I never said He was not sinless...read exactly what I said.
So you are saying that Paul was misleading people to further his agenda. He says himself that he was a Jew from the tribe of BenYamin. We are not under it because we KEEP it!

No, we are not under the law because we do not keep that old law. Keeping the law of Moses is not what Paul taught.
Yep, fulfilled at the cross and then the law changed:
Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
I can quote what you said, "No one, not even Yeshua, can keep or obey ALL its requirements."
This is decidedly incorrect. A flawed person cannot keep or obey ALL the law's requirements, but Yeshua is God and could easily keep and obey ALL the law's requirements.
NO ONE can keep ALL...ALL...ALL of the law's requirements...not even Yeshua. This is fact.
Acts 24:14 (NKJV) - "But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the Elohim of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets.
Acts 25:8 - while he answered for himself, "Neither against the Law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended in anything at all."
