Actually, no. The Gospel is not that we should emulate anyone or walk as anyone did. None of us can walk blameless and be without sin. If that's what you're trying to do, you may as well be like the apostle Paul and proclaim that your good works are like filthy menstrual rags.

I did, but then again it may not fit your definition. It was the Original festival of 1969, at age 12.
If you read your Bible's with understanding you'd quickly realize that Yeshua read the OT and spoke from it. because He said himself that he came not to "do away" with the Law, but instead FULFILL the Law.
Fulfill = Complete
Fulfill does not = do away with
So for all you NT Christains that think Yeshua has given you a pass to be Sadistic Heahtens in his name....reality check coming soon.
You actually know any Christians like that? Marcionism went out of vogue a long, long time ago.
"You foolish Galatians!"
23 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian
Matthew 22:36-40 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Read Galatians 3.
We were STUPID (some will be more polite and say "ignorant") so we needed the law to tell us not to be jealous of others, not to murder, not to steal, etc. Then Christ came and showed us the true NATURE of LOVE. Which IS GOD. God is LOVE, the MOST POWERFUL thing in existence. Again, God IS Love.
We are now to GROW in LOVE. Which IS following Christ.
You should NOT now NEED a law that says "Thou shalt not covet..." "Thou shalt not murder..."
LOVE is your teacher.
GOD is love.
God is in YOUR HEART guiding you. So many miss the whole point of Christ.
So many preachers and so-called "teachers" are leading so many astray and keeping people bound in chains and ignorance.
Sing our precious little sparrow . . . God rejoices in your songs of love!!! We love it too!!!

Can't "rep" but I CAN repost it. I may do it again just to be sure. and I can emphasize the most cogent sentence.

oh yes, and I'm sure YOU do to. there a LOT of them on this forum right now and already voiced their opinions on GOD's words and how homosexuality is ok and Yeshua will wash their sins away so it's ok to keep doing what they are doing.

And some Christians have the mindset and reason of men that lived in biblical times. No progress, just stagnation!

That's not at all the same thing as "think the OT worthless since Yeshua came"
It is un-Godly because God cannot be cruel, vindictive, jealous, or petty. All those are human defects! And God has to be perfect.
haha...
GOD destroyed 5 cities which included Sodom and Ghomorrah for being immoral and sexually deviant.
GOD says in the 10 Commandments "Thou shall have no other GOD's before Me" sounds selfish and petty don't it?
So come again ? THAT is perfection.
