The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work

That is the problem with saying we know what is evil and what is good from our parents or the Government/Laws. God is not a man. He is a maximumly great being because He possess all quality that are better to have to their fullest possibility. He also does not possess any negative qualities. So unlike people what He says is trustworthy and true and will never change.
We can all agree that everyone does wrong to some degree. This idea didn't come from our parents because I have three little ones at home and when they have something taken from them the express their wronged feelings. I never had to teach them that. So it isn't taught or legislated it is build in us.

Objectively if the mouse is eaten by a cat it is bad for the mouse's survival and good for the cat the cat's survival. Yet there is no out cry for the right of a mouse against a cat because it is not evil. There is however an out cry for those people who are being murdered and oppressed by other people.

This argument is an old one I will agree

He is still an entity, no matter how great he is. If some ideal comes from him, and is not separate from him, it is subjective. Like when he said to go out and kill everyone that didn't worship him, despite having a rule that says thou shalt not kill.

I'd say he possesses many negative qualities. Being self centered is a negative quality for anyone who wants to interact with other people.

If a little child or baby has something taken away, it has nothing to do whether it's legitimately wrong or not. Like if baby grabs something sharp, and the parent takes it away. the child will have the same reaction that it would have if given food, and having it stolen. We do not have an innate sense of right and wrong. We have a sense of things we want, and things we don't.
