There are no peripheral issues in Biblical Christianity; but everything in the Bible is to be bellieved and obeyed.
Luke 16:10, He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
Someone in the church has said, "The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing."
But in the middle of that, a part of the real "main thing" is that in the obedience of faith and in obedience to the faith (Romans 1:5, Romans 16:26) we are all to be obedient to all of the commandments given to us in scripture; once we have been redeemed by grace.
As there is no condemnation over disobeying any of these things, and this is the sense in which we are not under the law (Romans 4:8); and yet we are obedient anyway because that through the new birth, the commandments and laws in the Bible have been written on our hearts and minds (Hebrews 8:10, Hebrews 10:16).
