My better question is should we as Christians follow the law? I always felt that Christ’s fulfillment meant we are free from those rules. Granted I’m no theologian so any insight you have would be appreciated. I know he gave us the greatest commandment which covers everything I’d say
The next couple sentences in Matthew 5 pretty much kick that to the curb.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. -Matthew 5:19
The back half of Matthew 5 is taking the Hebrew to task for being hypocrites. He never says the law is wrong. Just that they aren't living up to it, and then sets an EVEN HIGHER standard.
Most Christians take Jesus saying that nothing that goes into your mouth makes you unclean to mean cleanliness laws no longer apply. Even saying he wasn't abolishing the law, he changed the rules on divorce.
So any of the books Paul wrote shouldn’t be considered biblical?
They aren't the Sermons, and calling Paul "the apostle" is like saying everyone at Lambeau deserves a superbowl ring for being really loud (which is basically all Paul was, figuratively).
All of those are jew things that your bring up tho faggolot? I don't see new test in there..... Try again with your troll
Doesn't help many of those christian still follow both the old and new testament when they wanna make a point or enforce laws onto people.
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." -Matthew 5:17
Your protestations to the contrary are Pauline garbage. Paul is to Christ what Kathleen Kennedy is to Star Wars.

Read Romans
1213 and get back to me.E: daggumit, my memory was off. Both are good passages though.
Read it. Importantly points about loving one another.

You're wrong
In what way?
I only regard the Gospels as foundational. Everything after is fanfiction, as canonical as the Book of Mormon.
Remember: I AM QUAKER. From my perspective the Catholic church of Peter and Paul is itself a perversion of the original faith.
How many books got taken out by the roman catholic church when they standardized the bible? I don't see the book of enoch in there
