2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV) [15] And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.  

That is one of the first basic tenants of hermeneutics that the Bible is written literally unless common sense or implied by passage other... Number one rule 'if the plain sense makes sense seek no other sense' ... God's Scripture was written to all men in all times till the end... context rules the study always! The most difficult thing in flesh warfare is the trying to justify ourselves by works as to being worthy to receive salvation... The motivation to love God, put there by The Holy Spirit, is the pure ascent to the reason of works John 14:21 (KJV) [21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. When a person is saved- God's Places Himself within the inner man and life begins once more s/Spiritually... that life will be one of Love foremost unto God Himselves and then to others which fulfills all law... Matthew 22:37 (KJV) [37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.   It is this simple: if love 'God's Love' fulfills the Scripture (above) then not to love is sin...   Your focus seems to be on wrong motives law law law ... it was never given to save but to condemn 'all'! Do to get is a devilish scheme driven into the heart of all who have began here... the overall teaching of Scripture is source and where that source is from John 8:23 (KJV) [23] And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. Thus, motive should not be anything of here but where we are going... wanting to love Jesus back with the love He has placed within us... Galatians 5:18 (KJV) [18] But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. [19] Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. [24] And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. [25] If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.   the monetary system of this world is basic lie... it convinces us that rocks (precious jewels), metal (gold, silver etc), paper (currency) is much more precious than food, which God supplies, and people are stealing, killing, lying and whatever else their imagination can do to obtain it ... what will it be like when the lie is removed and they see clearly this error? Romans 14:11 (KJV) [11] For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. [12] So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.   This is written of the last of days: Matthew 24:7 (KJV) [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [8] All these are the beginning of sorrows. [9] Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. [10] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. [11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. [12] And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.  

It might be helpful to clarify what you mean by the "teachings"of Christ. Jesus often spoke to Jews about the law. For example he told some who were healed to show themselves to the priest at the temple. Today if someone were healed from Hanson's disease, even if he wanted to, there are no more priests or temple. Jesus also described what might be called universal principles. However, he also made statements such as being able to move mountains. It would be interesting to determine if the mountain moving were told to just the disciples, apply to all of the faithful remnant of Israel, or to all who would believe. I see in the ministry of Jesus only the sincere offer of the kingdom to the nation of Israel. I do not get the feeling he winks at the disciples with a sort of hint that, "You guys are going to blow it, so here is the real plan". I see a risk that one can find themselves taking out of the words of Jesus that which was intended for Israel and trying to introduce rules and works into Christianity today. This risks the dangers that beset the Galatians. While the words of Jesus are the sacred words of God, we need to consider context so that we do not carelessly misapply them.
