Shalom.
I was not kicked out of Christianity by anyone. I am a Jew in that I observe the Commandments of Torah with all Israel. I believe Yeshua to be the Messiah. The expectation of a coming Messiah was in Judaism. He came. It is Judaism. I have been called a Christian before. I grew up as a Christian. Now I obey Jesus' words in Matthew 5:17-20, as I came to do even as a Christian. I do believe that they can be for the whole world, but in at least three ways that I can think of they have to be for Israel. Here are the three that I just thought of in trying to remember what just came to mind. Jesus spoke them to His fellow Israelites, His fellow Jews, His Disciples. This was before He died. And, the world does not observe Commandments found in the Torah that are only for Israel.
Shalom.

(NKJ)
xxx Jesus fulfilled the old testament law and shows us how to fulfill it to. The old testament law is still in affect on those who have not followed Jesus example. Love is the fulfillment of the old testament. And if one can learn what love is they also can follow Jesus' example by fulfilling the law. Love is to suffer wrongfully but do it willingly. Love is not a feeling or an emotions it is an action. The act of not giving into all the emotions that push one into beleiving and holding on to the law of sin and death(punishment). The old testament is the law of sin and death. The new testament is the law of Christ(love). Fulfill means to bring to an end. The old testament is the idea that everyone has to pay for their wrongs. The new testament in Christ is bear one anothers burdens. Everyone who is not submitting to the law of Christ is still under the old testament law of sin and death.
Rom 7:6
6 But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.

Heb 7:11-12
11 Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.
