Use the link I just gave you. List every thing Paul said to obey.
Why don't you just go fishing and leave the threads and posts to somebody else? We'll keep you informed.
None of us should steal anything.
I went through all the verses in that link. Thank you.
You said it isn't in scripture when I said don't steal. It is in scripture because man needs a tutor. Some need more, like s short bus.

Paul taught obedience to the new law, the law of Christ, it is the law that includes faith.
Paul rebuked Peter because Peter was afraid of the Jews. The Jews did not want Peter to associate with the UN circumcised Gentiles.
Paul did NOT rebuke Peter for not associating with the NON obeying Gentiles!
Think about what you are saying.
Do you really think that we cannot fornicate and take blood, but we can steal, murder, lie, etc?

The letter killeth because if you committed some sins---the punishment was to be put to death.
The Spirit giveth life is because we can find mercy and forgiveness through Jesus.

Try reading what comes after the scripture about not fornicating and taking blood.
Read Acts 15:21.
For Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on ever Sabbath.
That scripture shows us that the Gentiles should know what is right and wrong because it has been preached about everywhere and for a long time.

If you have not murdered someone...that is love.
If you have not bared false witness against someone...that is love.
If you have not committed adultery on someone...that is love.
If you STEAL FROM THEM---THEN IT IS NOT LOVE.
Now can you see why we have to obey?
