On what basis do you say no the law wasn't removed from the text I posted?.
Not really. The passages you quoted only state that salvation is not inherited by keeping Moses Law, but by having faith in Jesus Christ - EPH.2:14, GAL.3:13, etc. Paul emphasized this because his ex-fellow Jews were still falsely believing that the keeping of Moses Law would save them from hell when they die.
That isn't the law given to Israel. Jesus didn't give that law (see John 1:17).In the Garden of Eden, Eve disobeyed GOD.
Jesus says
John 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
If you're talking about practicing immoral activities, yes. If you're talking about keeping the law, no. Simply not stealing isn't obedience to the law. Many non Christians don't do this. Please note I didn't make a cover all statement..
Most adult Gentiles have led lawless lives from childhood, wrt God's Law or Moses Law, very unlike adult Jews who are mostly law-abiding.
... So, most new Gentile Christians have been born-again of the Spirit as spiritual babes who are commanded by ACTS.15:24-29 to at least keep the 4 non-burdensome laws of Moses. Thereafter, as they grow in spirituality towards spiritual adulthood/maturity, it is expected of them to gradually learn to keep the other non-burdensome laws of Moses, especially morality laws, eg the Ten Commandments at EXODUS.20(cf; 1COR.6:9-11, GAL.5:19-21).
In comparison, most new Jewish Christians or Messianic Jews are born-again of the Spirit as spiritual adults and have little need to be taught about the Law, (eg the apostle Paul and John) except that they are required by God to continue to keep Moses Law, as many laws as possible, because it is not a burden to them.
P S - The breaking of God's Law/commandments will result in being cursed by God or His agents(eg the government/police - ROMANS.13) = lead a sad and short life on earth. Gentile Christians who ignorantly or wantonly break the non-burdensome laws will risk losing their salvation while suffering for their sins/evil-deeds,(1COR.5:1-5) like the wife of Job who likely cursed God and died.(JOB2:9)

No he doesn't or you'd have posted it. .

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 God, but the doers of the law will be justified; 14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) 16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
I question how claim to follow something and actually doing something else is doing the claimed.
How anyone can claim to follow Jesus by following the something else is interesting. I don't understand how this can be true.
I'm wondering why a person claiming to be a new Christian has such an issue. .
No he doesn't or you'd have posted ... Your intention is to by pass John 10. Isn't this mocking Jesus?I don't believe you understand this or the NT (new covenant).Where does your verse say anything about what happens of the sabbath? I read it says between sabbaths. Your verse says from...to. It doesn't say on.
.
... IOW, God has exempted Gentile Christians from any law of Moses which is a burden, eg circumcision and kosher foods. They are not exempted from any law which is not a burden, esp morality laws, eg the Ten Commandments(EXODUS.20), DEUT.18:9-14, LEV.10:9 & 18:22, etc.
I would have to disagree with this deeply. While I can appreciate the zeal that goes into striving to obey Moses for the sake of Christ, it is simply not necessary, nor does it make any sense.
Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
If you're talking about practicing immoral activities, yes. If you're talking about keeping the law, no. t.
One must be careful about wholesale rejection of scripture as if Moses is the author and not God.
Being a good son, daughter, father, mother, friend, co-worker, employee, etc.
The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
You, as a Christian, have no particular Sabbath obligations.
Luke 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me..
MATTHEW.5: = 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
Have the heaven and earth pass away.?
"Till all is fulfilled" is not what you think it means, ie as to mean it removes the Law from this earth. Can Christians commit murder and break the Law at EXODUS.20:13.?.
What is your point here? Acts 15 says the Gentiles didn't keep the law evidenced bu the Pharisees demand of verse 5 and the Apostles said they didn't have to. Peter and Paul were living like gentiles in Antioch..
