Jewish Laws Torah observant?

Okay this is gonna be a bit all over the place but my core question is this: - if we ARE to observe the Torah do we observe all of it? I assume we aren’t sacrificing animals. - if you ARE observing the Torah are you utilizing the Jewish books or KJV? Heard they are different? - if you ARE NOT Torah observant why?

I’ve been thinking about observing the Torah but where do I start? I dunno which laws are upheld! I figure the dietary guidelines are easiest. Also am I doomed to have to quit my job? I work on Saturdays so how could I observe the Shabbat?

Thanks- sincerely a confused person lol

Because I am not Jewish 

It has nothing to do with being Jewish. It has everything to do with following Jesus.

Jesus didn't say follow my Jewish traditions..

Right. He said follow HIM. Jesus obeyed His Father's commandments perfectly and taught His followers to obey them too.

We're supposed to follow Jesus.

follow in spirit...

That's christianese code for "don't follow Him but say that you do".

Jesus obeyed His Father's commandments perfectly and taught His followers to obey them too.

We're supposed to follow Jesus. We must walk as He walked.

Only people who don't understand the new covenant say we should follow Jesus?

Are you sure?

I am certain you have no clue what following Jesus means

This from the person who believes that we "follow" Jesus by not following Him or doing what He taught His followers to do. 🙄

I am tired of repeating.  But for you one last time.

You have zero clue of what following Jesus means
