119 Ministries uses Hebrews to argue Jesus does not change, therefore the Bible does not change, therefore you must obey OT law — Mike dissects this logical chain

Walking as Jesus walked does not mean obeying the OT law — it could equally mean itinerant preaching only to Jews, or staying in Israel, which no one applies literally

Mike challenges the 119 Ministries use of 1 John 2:6 ("walk as he walked") by following the logic consistently.
