It is better to obey your parents out of love or respect than fear, right? A sign of spiritual maturity is that you obey God's commands because you love Him, instead of fear of the consequences.

he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
Titus 3:5 NIV
You can't earn your salvation through works. The works come after salvation, in gratitude, as worship.

I love God and Jesus. I want to obey God's Commandments and Jesus' Commandments. I obey God because I love Him. What do you mean by fear and fear of the consequences?
You are doing what the verse says! Young Christians might obey because they think bad things will happen if they aren't good, or because their communities pressure them into it. Sometimes we need that to get started, but in the long run it isn't healthy.

I am a proselyte and a convert to Israel and Judaism.
he means fear of going to hell
And you say you love Jesus? Interesting, please tell me more

I do not know that. I do not know about hell. I have no fear of going there.
Jesus instructed to keep and teach the Commandments and I saw no obstacle to doing so.
This is typical; most churches cliché.
It is talking about our former sins. You have to continually being faithful to Jesus until the end to be saved..
That is what Jesus says in the revelation.
There's no reason to be rude. I have had good fellowship with people who don't believe in eternal security, in spite of our disagreement.

But He also said no one could come to God except through Him. I am glad that you like Jesus, don't get me wrong, but He fulfilled the Mosaic law, so why do you follow it?
Sent from my LGMS210 using Tapatalk
Jesus is the Messiah. He never said to stop observing the Commandments.
Have you read Galatians? I'm assuming since you said you had converted to Judaism that you obey the Mosaic law, right? At least... As much as you are able without a temple of course.

Reporting without good explanation is not rude?
You're right. I should have provided more explanation. I thought you closed the thread for personal reasons, rather than a rules violation. I apologize for not saying that before.
Sent from my LGMS210 using Tapatalk
I closed because most of them were just trolling the thread.
You didn't notice?
Judging unfairly is very rude, friend.
I was reporting so someone else could judge. I am sorry to have offended you.
