the basic commandment involved i.e. alms-giving or fasting does not apply to
Christians as it is part of the Law.

The fact that coming under or trying to keep the Law is Man’s attempt to be
righteous on his own terms, against God, (Gen 2:17) as the Law is God (Deut
30:10, Rev 19:13), is shown in Matthew 7:12 and Mark 12:32. The so-called
‘Golden Rule’ is, that is actually is, the Law (Mat 7:12) but the standard of what is
right or wrong is derived from Man. It is a Law defined by Man (Mat 7:12, Luke
6:31) as well as by, in a mystery of antinomy, God (Rom 7:12) and given by angels
(Gal 3:19) and prophets. It is Man’s attempt to be God (Gen 3:5 ‘be as gods’, 22, 1
Sam 28:13, Psalm 82:6, Mark 12:32, John 10:35. Rom 10:3). That is the man under
the Law is commanded to do to others as he would be done by and in this way it is
Man-centric (Gen 3:22) and flesh-focused (Rom 3:20). This is alluded to again in
Romans 2:12-16. Any spirit or Man, not under grace, is attempting to be God
(Gen 3:22, Mark 12:32) and is thereby a god of sorts at least by aspiration (Psalm
138:1) but God is still the God of such ‘gods’ (Josh 22:22, Psalm 82:1, 86:8, 96:5).

In this the Law is in the same category as Sacrifice, Kings and Temples of stone
(Mat 5:17, 7:12); God’s secondary wills applied to those wishing to justify
themselves or live their lives their way and be righteous according to their own
precepts (Gen 2:17, 3:22, Mat 7:12, Mark 12:32, Rom 3:20, 10:3). God accepted
these attempts at face-value and provided the necessary framework to succeed
despite the initial disobedience in not choosing the only way of Christ’s Salvation
and instead insisting on the Law, Sacrifice, Kings and Temples. God knows all
along that these attempts will all sinfully and deliberately fail and that Man can not
reach his own standards (Mat 7:12, Rom 3:20, 10:3), let alone God’s, this way
(Rom 3:20, 10:3). In order to redeem the situation God even subjected Himself to
the constraints of the Law, only without sinning, in order to end it’s curse by
fulfilment (Mat 5:17, Gal 3:10, 13, Phil 2:6-8). The Law and the prophets are
indivisible in doctrine (Deut 30:10, Mat 7:12, Rev 22:18-19).

The Golden Rule Law (which is the Law - Mat 7:12) applies independently of
whether a man is an Israelite, and therefore in his conscious mind fully aware of all
its prophetically and materially revealed so-called ‘Jewish’ details, or not (Deut
30;10, Romans 2:12-16, Jam 2:10). The Law applies to every man as a default
(Gen 15:5, Neh 1:9, Rom 7:1, Rev 22:18-19). Man can not be consistent or
‘righteous’ even by whatever standard that man chooses (Mat 7:12, Rom 3:10,
20). Romans 1:20 explains how the spirit-facts of life are known in the basic
spirits of men and refers to both material revelation of God and spiritual light
(‘invisible things...clearly seen’). The Law was never acceptable as a way to total
