What did Jesus mean when he said "If you love me you will keep my commandments?"

The worthless stuff that is argued about here is ridiculous.

I don't think that is what following Jesus is. They weren't known as Jews in Antioch. They were known as Christians.

A simple word search disproves that.



I'm not the one teaching that following Jesus means to break the Law that he followed.



Feel free to provide a quote.
I don't think he's hung up on the word saved. Indeed it does appear in the OT. I don't think it's related to salvation that comes only through Jesus.

Abraham wasn't saved until after the cross.

Jesus was speaking about him being the bread of life, not about giving his own commands in disagreement with the Father.​
Jesus wasn't disagreeing with the Father in Jn 15:10 either. Yet Jesus takes credit for commandments not given by the Father. Jesus doesn't tell us to keep the commandments of His Father either. Jesus said He them and ask us to keep something else. The verse couldn't be more clear. Did John lie in Jn 1:17? or I Jn 3:23? John never extended an invitation to Judaism.​
Jesus didn't teach or bring the law per Jn 1:17.

To participate in the covenant given at Sinai, a male was required to be circumcised.

You wish to fuss over words. Jesus abolished the old covenant when He said -

This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. LK 22:20
