Shalom Lucy, since you are no longer here, let's look at the deception you are under a little closer.
You claim that those who desire to keep the commandments of Elohim (the Law He gave to Moses) are evil perverts. Let's look closely at your deception:
Mat 5:16-20
(16) "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
(17) "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.
(18) "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
(19) "Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
(20) "For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
The Messiah desires us to DO GOOD WORKS, deceivers desire for us to transgress the Law. The Messiah desires for us to teach and keep the Commandments given by Moses, deceivers desire us to annul and do away with keeping the Commandments. Messiah says that YOUR righteousness MUST exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, the deceivers say you are sinning by performing righteousness. Now, what does John say about performing righteousness, would he agree with these deceivers?
1Jn 3:4-15
(4) Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
(5) You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.
(6) No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him.
(7) Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous;
(8) the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of Elohim appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.
(9) No one who is born of Elohim practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of Elohim.
(10) By this the children of Elohim and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of Elohim, nor the one who does not love his brother.
(11) For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;
(12) not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brothers were righteous.
(13) Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.
(14) We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.
(15) Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
The deceivers say that if you practice righteousness, you are sinning. The deceivers say that if you keep the Commandments, you are like Cain. Don't be deceived by these deceivers, Cain was evil because his DEEDS were evil, just like the deceivers. The Messiah appeared to take you away from being an evil sinner, so that you wouldn't be like Cain, hating and murdering your brother. This deliverance from YOUR sin, INTO performing RIGHTEOUSNESS, is something a believer should not TURN away from, as Peter states:
2Pe 2:1-2,12-15,18-22
(1) But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.
(2) Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned;
(12) But these, like unreasoning animals, born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed,
(13) suffering wrong as the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are stains and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they carouse with you,
(14) having eyes full of adultery that never cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children;
(15) forsaking the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
(18) For speaking out arrogant words of vanity they entice by fleshly desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error,
(19) promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.
(20) For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Master and Savior Yeshua Messiah, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.
(21) For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them.
(22) It has happened to them according to the true proverb, "A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT," and, "A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire."
These deceivers have been around for a long time. They are like unreasoning animals, laying out for everyone to see the sin in their lives, and arrogantly boast about being able to transgress the Law. These deceivers forsake the right way and love the wages of unrighteousness. These deceivers twist and distort the Scriptures and annul or do away with the Law as they think they are listening to Paul correctly:
2Pe 3:13-18
(13) But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
(14) Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,
(15) and regard the patience of our Master as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you,
(16) as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
(17) You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of LAWLESS men and fall from your own steadfastness,
(18) but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Master and Savior Yeshua Messiah. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
These LAWLESS deceivers twist and distort Paul into saying they no longer need to be a "doer" of the Law. But what does Paul say:
Rom 2:13
(13) for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before Elohim, but the doers of the Law will be justified.
Eph 5:3-6
(3) But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints;
(4) and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.
(5) For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Messiah and Elohim.
(6) Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of Elohim comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Gal 5:19-21
(19) Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality,
(20) idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,
(21) envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of Elohim.
1Co 6:9-10
(9) Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of Elohim? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
(10) nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of Elohim.
The deceivers will not believe Paul when he says these transgressors of Moses Law will not inherit the Kingdom of Elohim.
