He did no such thing. He kept every single one that applied to him. And they aren't "Jewish laws". They are YHWH's laws.
You are assuming pork was forbidden for health concerns. That may be a secondary reason, but the primary reason was holiness (Leviticus 11:45-46).
Yeshua (Jesus) did the spiritual work of healing on the Sabbath. He did not do secular work like carpentry on Sabbath. All Sabbath keepers today can do all the spiritual work they want on Sabbath since YHWH did not forbid such work. Yes, we should show love to others on Sabaath as well as the other six work days. However, it is not showing love to your neighbor to go help him weed his garden or mow his lawn on Sabbath. That is actually showing a lack of love for him and YHWH.
We are not to purposely break the commandments because we know we will be forgiven. Since our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, we are not to defile them by eating swine's flesh or writing graffiti all over them. Would you write graffiti on Solomon's Temple if it were still standing?
Is tattooing "adorning" or "defacing"?
Art can be beautiful and creative as long as it does not defile or deface the temple of the Holy Spirit. It changes the image God created us with.
I'm not saying that we should break Commandments, but Jesus set us free from the laws. But the Ten Commandments still stick. And I don't believe anyone should get permanent tattoos, but what's wrong with a temporary tattoo? Nothing. Also, they were laws given to Jews by God, so, yeah, they were Jewish laws.
And I work on some Sundays, so does that make me evil?? LOL
