Zone1 Why did Jesus insist that the commandments be observed?

ok, goober.
According to some Sumerian flood myths, Enlil (god of wind and storms) was annoyed by human noise and decided to destroy them with a flood. Enki (god of water and wisdom) secretly instructed a righteous man to build an ark to save his family and animals.
In Sumerian texts, it is portrayed as a garden-city where humans first learned to farm and serve the gods ancientoriginstours.com. The warning to “not eat of the food of death” in Eridu parallels the biblical Eden story, showing how the Sumerian myth influenced later traditions. The Sumerian Garden of Eden is a mythic concept rooted in ancient Mesopotamian religion, representing the divine paradise and the dawn of agriculture.
Ironically, these 2 stories are part of the Eridu GENESIS. LOL
To solve this, the god Enki (also called Ea in Akkadian) proposed creating humans to take over the labor. The mother goddess—often called Ninhursag (or a similar figure like Mami/Nintu)—then creates humans by mixing clay with the blood of a sacrificed god.

The more you know, boomer ;)
Want to hear my answer? Again?

Do you believe all behaviors lead to equal outcomes?
 
Because his intent was never to start a new religion, just instill Jewish values.

the 1st century repudiation of judaism is the springboard for its eventual collapse in 70ce - as is the warning from jesus for them to mend their ways by removing the false commandments madeup by the liar moses and all other such commands not bearing any semblance to the heavens they failed to heed.
 
Jesus told them to observe the law until heaven and earth pass away.

They did that. They were attending temple and observing Jewish custom until judgment came upon Judea, when heaven and earth passed away.

Will Moses be equal to you in heaven?
 
Don’t be a silly boo-boo.
Just so you know... according to Jewish beliefs, you'll be paling around in heaven with anti-Semitics and Hitler.

While Judaism places its primary emphasis on ethical behavior and action in this world (Olam Ha-Zeh), it teaches that human actions directly impact the soul’s experience in the afterlife, known as Olam Ha-Ba (the World to Come).

Jewish tradition holds that the righteous merit Gan Eden (a spiritual Paradise), while the wicked endure Gehinnom (a temporary place of purification).

Mainstream Jewish tradition teaches that Gehinnom (often translated as hell or purgatory) is a place of spiritual cleansing and purification for souls—both Jewish and Gentile—that need it. It is not considered a place of eternal damnation, but rather a temporary "supernal washing machine".
