“Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?” (John 7:19)
patlin, I think to do understand John 7, and what it says to all.
1 John 2:4 Anyone who says, “I know him,” but isn't obeying his commands is a liar - the truth is not in him. 5 But if someone keeps doing what he says, then truly love for God has been brought to its goal in him. This is how we are sure that we are united with him. 6 A person who claims to be continuing in union with him ought to conduct his life the way he did. 7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command. On the contrary, it is an old command, which you have had from the beginning
Deut 4:40 “Therefore, you are to keep his laws and mitzvot which I am giving you today, so that it will go well with you and with your children after you, and so that you will prolong your days in the land ADONAI your God is giving you forever.”
They are not Moses laws, they are YHVH’s house rules for His children. One house, one set of rules for our protection & well being. It's just too bad religious doctrine of man thinks it knows better than YHVH.
1 Cor 1:22 "For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God"
