1 | Iam having some questions | John 17:1 | skccab | 212509 | ||
Greetings Val, Just an FYI for you - the 600 or so commandments (actually 613) are the commandments found in Torah. As an example between the two (the 613 and oral), Exodus 23:19b "You shall not boil a young goat in it's mother's milk" - That is one of the 613 actual commandments of God given to Moses, and it doesn't sound so hard to keep. Now, the oral part that you are thinking about, observed to this very day, adds that one cannot even drink milk and eat meat together. Orthodox Jews keep milk products and meat products in separate refridgerators (my understanding is that they even have separate utensils, dishware and cookware) - all this to "help" them not break the actual simple commandment. Now THAT'S hard!! The number 613 seems big, but the vast majority of the laws for the ordinary citizen are similar to Lev. 19:35 and 36, 2 separate "laws", one is a "do" and the other says the very same thing as a "do not do" (or vice versa). Matt. 5:17-20. It was the Oral Law/Tradition that Jesus was so against, it put far too much burden on the ordinary guy, only to make the priests look oh so holy. :-) Have a safe New Year Cheri |

Greetings Cheri, yes I was referring to commandments, teachings outside of the first first books of the bible. Didn't they write down their oral law/tradition eventually? Happy New Year, Val |

Happy New Year to you too, Val Sorry, took so long to get back to you. I just got in from a 15-hr day-trip to W. Va. Yes, I think they did, but when, I don't know. I think it's contained in the Mishna and/or Talmud (that MJH spoke of), but I'm not sure, and there's far more than 600 of them. I've never seen them myself (so I reserve the right to be wrong :o) ), but I'm told that there are more than a thousand pages on just the dietary laws. Too much reading for me!! Cheri |

Wew, more than a thousand pages on just the dietary laws!!!! What a burden for the Jews! Really too much...too much for me, as well! Only the Bible could spend my entire life to study it and I am still not sure if I could accomplish it - my top priority of study :-) How wonderfully blessed that we are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Happy New Year to you. Shalom Azure |

Azure, shalom!! An American phrase is appropriate right now - Ain't that the truth?!!! Amen and amen (I like this one much better!!) Like I said, I've only heard this is true, but I've heard it from more than one or two sources so I figure it must be true. Like you, that much reading must be for the Scriptures only!! So much more blessed reading. It's really strange how it works, but my eyesight is sooo bad that my eyes begin to hurt whenever I'm reading anything and I lose focus EXCEPT when I'm reading the Bible itself? God's way of keeping me focused??? You have a different new year, don't you? I pray that you have a wonderful, blessed year anyway :o) Cheri |
