This article argues that Yeshua should be understood not as a minor interpreter of Judaism, but as a radical reformer who re-centered faith around love rather than legal obedience. By applying Jesus’ own criterion of love, the author shows that only a small portion of the 613 commandments have genuine ethical value, while most are ritual or cultural in nature. This helps explain why early Christians lived for centuries without rigid legal codes. Christianity, therefore, emerges not as a religion of commandments, but as a path of imitation of a living person.
