Not sure that I would agree with your reading of Matthew 5:19It's not taken out of context. Paul does not teach two different gospels.
You're free to believe what you want, but we are trying to help you. We show our love to God through obedience not disobedience. Jesus has some stern warnings to those who teach others to disobey God's commandments.
Matthews 5:19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven
Least means lost, not barely making it into heaven.
Something I would consider praying about.
Least in the kingdom of heaven is still in the kingdom of heaven.
No church that I have ever attended says to kill or steal, because you are not under the law.
We are under a greater commandment now, the new covenant commandment.
1 John 2:8
On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.
John 13:34
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
Love does not steal, love does not kill!
See how the new covenant commandment to love others, automatically fulfills the requirements of the law, in every way. How simple the yoke of Jesus really is.
