"God's Moral Law Is Eternal and Written on Every Heart — The Rest Was Only for Israel"
The moral law is universal and innate. Everyone knows murder and theft are wrong. The ceremonial and civil laws were temporary additions for Israel alone.
"The Torah Didn't Exist Before Sinai — It Started with Moses"
If the law wasn't given until Moses, nothing before Sinai counts as Torah. God's commands to Adam, Noah, and Abraham were different in kind.
1 Timothy 4:4 — "Everything God Created Is Good, Nothing to Be Rejected"
Paul says everything God created is good and nothing should be rejected. Dietary laws are over.

God told Peter to kill and eat unclean animals. The dietary laws are over.

Galatians 4:9-11 — "Weak and Beggarly Elements"
Paul warns against turning back to weak and beggarly elements — observing days, months, seasons, and years. Isn't he condemning feast-keeping?
Galatians — "Paul Abolished the Law"
Paul clearly says we're not under law. Galatians settles it — Torah is done.
Hebrews 7:12 — "The Priesthood Changed, So the Law Changed"
Hebrews says a change of priesthood means a change of law. Doesn't that mean Torah is obsolete?
Hebrews 8:13 — "The Old Covenant is Obsolete"
Hebrews says the old covenant is obsolete and disappearing. Doesn't that mean Torah is abolished?
Galatians 2:14 — "That's Judaizing!" What the Accusation Actually Means
Keeping Torah is Judaizing — Paul condemned it. Right?

In Mark 7:19, Jesus declared all foods clean. Dietary laws are over.
Romans 10:4 — "Christ is the End of the Law"
Paul says Christ is the 'end' of the law. Does that mean Torah is terminated?

Paul says we're 'not under law but under grace.' Doesn't that mean Torah is abolished for believers?
"The Sabbath Was Only for Jews — It's Not for Christians"
The Sabbath was given to Israel at Sinai. Gentile believers aren't under the Mosaic law.
