Oh yes it does! That is exactly what the complete "Word" of god means. It would be silly otherwise as you would be excluding other possible commandments. If god told you that exposing toes in public is a sin, then it would make no sense whatsoever that this new commandment wouldn't be included. To claim it is the only necessary parts is faulty because who is to judge god's word as to what is necessary or not? God hasn't published a list of what scriptures are necessary and what scriptures aren't. The composed bibles were made canon by judgment of truth, not necessity. They included All the scripture that was felt to be god verified by the spirit, they didn't canonize into the bible any bible school lessons or any bible "fanfic" as the goal was to address all of god's word and all of the spirit verified histories.

You already admit that you don't believe in God and that make you a fool (psalms 14:1). Romans 1:18-22 speaks about how with your denial of God your suppress the truth about God and He hates that. This is because when you suppress the truth about Him you are are promoting a lie. You are promoting evil instead of good. Rebellion instead of harmony. You are causing others to sin with your propaganda against God. He created you and gives you the breath in your lungs and you spit in his face call Him a tyrant and evil.
Of course I can't spit in his face because he hides from me. He hides from everyone and has convinced you that his missing presence is "normal." I believe what seems reasonable and logical inside my little human brain. The conclusion of fact, or belief, is not a choice of mine. I can only fake believing something if I don't. So the brain god gave me and the experiences god allowed me to see have convinced me that god is an imaginary construct of primitive men. Because I am honest and true to my fellow man, your god calls me evil and a rebel and wants to burn and torture me forever without bothering to show his face to me and without talking to me. He would rather torture me forever than reveal himself to me for a moment. That's your god of love.. Some Love! He doesn't give a man a chance to believe him after death because he would be revealed. God is completely unforgiving after our fragile weak bodies cease and no amount of contrition or begging would change his cruel mind.

Again, the sacrifice was desired by god, it was his made up rules that said that innocent blood has to be spilled for some weird reason. God wanted a sacrifice - god made a sacrifice - this has nothing to do with me..
complete
1. Filled up; with no part or element lacking; free from deficiency; entire; perfect; consummate. Complete perfections." Milton.
2. Finished; ended; concluded; completed; as, the edifice is complete.
This course of vanity almost complete. Prior.
Your unwillingness to use your logic and reason correctly is not God's fault. You are choosing a lie over the truth by ignoring what is plain about God (through the physical, spiritual and mental areas of your life). Since you will not humble yourself (accept that you are not the starting point in understanding the world) in order to hear God He is sending you messengers to tell you that you need to humble yourself. God is fully capable of showing Himself and will but you have no say about when He will do so (Mark 14:62). Since I am still talking to you then you may have time still to respond to His call for repentance in order to know Him. If you continue to resist Him there will come a time when God stops talking to you and then you will be judged for your disobedience. You can sincerely request an audience with Him but to sit as judge over Him and His words will only lead to your destruction. God's rules are not arbitrary but are based on His Holiness, which is all things that are good and pure, and again you only show your lack of understand for what is good by rejecting it. Jesus had to be the perfect and holy sacrifice for all of sin because He is the only one who could fulfill the law and simultaneously pay for all sin. He had to be a man to pay for men's debt and be God to have the strength and power to defeat all sin. You can pretend, like Pilate did, and try to wash your hands of Jesus' blood (matt 27:24) but by rejecting the sacrifice that was paid for you on the cross is just another example of why you don't understand your sinful state. You need to repentant of your sins so that your understanding can also be redeemed and your thinking can be made clear through washing of your sins through Christ sacrifice. See sin doesn't just effect for spiritual life but your cognitive life as well. You tell yourself lies that make you think that you can escape reality but the truth will always come to light.
