I listen to Jesus, not to the Jewish laws, whatever the number.

Jesus was talking condemnation for not following the Law...

25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
Mat 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Mat 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Mat 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

The works you are doing to gain your salvation are the same works Jesus taught...So yes, you do listen to the Jewish law...

Unfortunately, that eliminates the revelation from Jesus to Paul to the church that we are no longer under the laws, but Grace...

You're in the wrong dispensation...

the same works Jesus taught

The good works in Matthew 25:42-46 are works of faith. The Jewish Law was to abstain form pork and lobster, not travel on Saturday and the like. Jesus taught the former and His Church abolished the latter.

I have a present for you:

Let us pray.

O clement Mary, Mother of God,
Teach us mercy
Lead us to Thy Son Jesus
Pray for us so we may be saved
