How can mere human apostles decree that G-d's covenant with His people be null and void? No one has any independent verification that Yehoshua bin Yosef al Nazareth negated all of the 613 mitzvots created for the children of G-d....

I don't think anyone has "independent verification" that jesus ever lived or tha the performed the "miracles" he supposedly did. And he certainly did not qualify for messiah (let alone G-d). So, good questions. You're on the right track.

Like stoning women who committed adultery???
Even today in some Muslim countries Women are stoned to death; so you see, it's not a solely Jewish thing; it was just an old eastern custom.
Most of the commands (not the 10 commandments) in the bible is not religious; it's only old customs and traditions.
Jesus was clear in pointing out the old Jewish traditions which Jewish leaders gave more piority over than even the 10 commandments. Eg..washing of hands, walking on the sabbath...etc. etc.
Muslims have the same problems with old Traditions and customs; this truly gives religion a bad name. Religion is generally ok; it's the old traditions and customs injected within that causes all the problems. Check it out...if you dare.

Jesus Christ (God), never made the law void. This is what the apostles and Jesus Said:
Matthew 5:17-19
17`Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets -- I did not come to throw down, but to fulfill;
18for, verily I say to you, till that the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the law, till that all may come to pass.
19`Whoever therefore may loose one of these commands -- the least -- and may teach men so, least he shall be called in the reign of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach [them], he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.
1 Timothy 1:8-11 (Young's Literal Translation)
8and we have known that the law [is] good, if any one may use it lawfully;
9having known this, that for a righteous man law is not set, but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and sinners, impious and profane, parricides and matricides, men-slayers,
10whoremongers, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that to sound doctrine is adverse,
11according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.
Although you may be jewish you are ignorant.

Blame it on Paul. He was the "apostle" to claim that "a person is justified not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ." (Gal 2.16) Of course this had later been used as justification to simply ignore the law ("the law" refering to the Penteteuch, including the 613 laws--Jesus himself encouraged people to follow these) or fuel their anti-semetism.
You can't really call Paul an apostle, though. He never even met Jesus.

The Torah or Old Testament of the Holy Bible is not nullified.
I think you've been miss-informed.
Jesus didn't come to wipe out the law, He came to fulfill the prophesy.
The living God is a covenant keeper! All is good!

Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law; for by works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 2:21 I do not make void the grace of God; for if righteousness come by law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Jesus Our Christ said in Mark 2:27 "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath".
He said that of the Pharisees who were putting the strict observance of a sacred day above the welfare of the people. Gods rules and regulations were designed for mans benefit, not as a yolk to be put around mans necks!
Indeed when Jesus comes back again -during the millennial age - Sabbath will be restored.
Isaiah 66:23 "And it shall come to pass that, from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before ME, saith the Lord"

he died for us because no can live up to those 613 laws, most of which were created by the jewish version of the ACLU. Read the OT, the prophets were saved by faith, not by the law.

Jesus did not negate the law, but fulfilled the law. Thereby rendering the old covenant null.
Up 'til then, God hadn't offered salvation.

All that stuff is written by men.
Has any one ever seen God with a pen in his hand?
Get serious.
Men wrote all that crap to suit themselves.
