That's obviously not Christianity your promoting for so many reasons. First we are all one in Christ. That means that there is no Jew, Gentile etc in Christ.
The Bible very clearly speaks about people who are Jews, Gentiles, slaves, free, male, and female, so Galatians 3:28 was not denying the obvious existence of these categories, but rather Paul was addressing an issue where people thought that they had special status because they were a Jew or a Gentile, etc, and saying that we all come to Christ and are part of one body on the same terms. He certainly was not making the point that Jews and no longer Jews and should therefore act like Gentiles. Paul never stopped identifying either as Jew or as Pharisee.
While it is good to correctly understand who the Law was given to, it is not good to focus on that to the point where we lose focus on who the Law was given by. That Law was not given to Israel as instructions for how to act like Jews, but rather it was given to Israel as instructions for how to walk in God's ways (Deuteronomy 10:12-13), and it was never intended only for Israel, but rather Israel was given the role of being a light to the nations to draw them into a relationship with God, to teach them about Him, about how to serve Him, and about how to walk in His ways in accordance with His Law (Isaiah 2:2-3, Isaiah 49:6, Deuteronomy 4:5-8).
Gentiles were never given the laws to follow and in fact were told not to be burdened with them.
Jesus set a perfect example for his followers for how to walk in obedience to the Law, and as his followers we are told to walk in the same way that he walked (1 John 2:3-6) and to follow his example 1 Peter 2:21-22), so following Jesus is not just for Jews, but for Gentiles too. According to 1 John 5:3, the commands of God are not burdensome and according to Matthew 11:28-30 and Jeremiah 6:16-19, God's Law is the good way were we will find rest for our souls. There are 1,050 commands in the NT, so the idea that Gentiles do not get the privilege and the delight of following the holy, righteous, and good instructions of our God is incorrect. Even if you grant just the four laws in Acts 15:19-21, that would still exclude over 99% of the laws in the NT, including all of those instructed by Jesus. However, as it stated, the goal was not to make thing difficult for new believers coming to faith, so it was a starting point rather than an exhaustive list of everything that would be required of mature believers, which they excused by saying that Gentiles would continue to learn what would be required of them by hearing Moses taught every Sabbath in the synagogues.
When the sheet was let down in front of Peter there was no doubt a pig in there. Peter was told not to judge as unclean that which has been made clean. We know that meant that Jews are not to judge Gentiles as unclean by what proceeded and Peter exclaiming that the Holy Spirit cannot be denied because the key to Christianity is ______ God has brought together as one.____
Acts 10:10-16 And he became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while they were preparing it, he fell into a trance 11 and saw the heavens opened and something like a great sheet descending, being let down by its four corners upon the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of animals and reptiles and birds of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him: “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.” 14 But Peter said, “By no means, Lord; for
I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.” 15 And the voice came to him again a second time,
“What God has made clean, do not call common.” 16 This happened three times, and the thing was taken up at once to heaven.
Note that it incorrect to say that Peter was told not to judge as unclean what God had made clean, but rather he was told not to judge as common what God had made clean, which is completely different concept, which is why Peter said that he had never eaten anything that was common or unclean instead of just anything unclean. It says that all kinds of animals were let down in his vision, so when Peter was told to kill and eat, he could have easily obeyed the command by killing and eating one of the clean animals, but he objected to doing what the Law permitted him to do. The issue was that there was a man-made ritual purity law that said that something clean that came in contact with something that was unclean became common (Mark 7:3-4), and all the animals were bundled together at the bottom of the sheet, which meant that all of the clean animals had become common. So by saying that he had never eaten anything that was common or unclean, Peter was saying that he had never broken this man-made law or God's dietary laws, and by refusing to kill and eat one of the clean animals Peter was disobeying God to obey man, which is why God rebuked him for referring to the clean animals as common. So Peter's vision was only in regard to the incorrect status of clean animals, which he interpreted three times as being in regard to the incorrect status of Gentiles, and had nothing to do with eating unclean animals, nor did he even hit at that now being permitted. And if he had tried to say that, then he would have needed to repent in violation of Deuteronomy 4:2 and the people would have been quicker to regard him as a false messenger of God according to Deuteronomy 13 than to follow what any man said instead what God commanded them to do.
That in no way means that some enjoy the privilege of freedom in Christ now but the Jews need to wait for completion to achieve that.
According to Titus 2:14, Christ did not give himself to free us from the Law, but to redeem us from all Lawlessness, so the freedom that we have in Christ is the freedom from sinning in transgression of it and the freedom to obey it, not the freedom to do what God revealed to be sin.
Yet that is in fact what DaveW would have us believe about Jews and Gentiles. Is that your belief too
Hannah's prayer Fwiw that mindset can be the only OT reasoning that would disallow (gentile) women a place in Christ's Jubilee as a pattern of the OT being carried into the new.
While we are under a New Covenant and not the Mosaic Covenant, we are still nevertheless still under the same God with the same attributes, and therefore with the same way to act in accordance with those attributes. God's attributes are eternal and so the way to act in accordance with them has existed from the beginning before God made any covenants with man, so it is not dependant on any particular covenant, though it has be revealed through them. So anyone who wants to look up how to practice righteousness in accordance with God's righteousness can do so by reading the Mosaic Law regardless of which covenant they are under, but as part of the New Covenant, we are still told to practice righteousness (1 John 3:10).
