Bible Note: 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 |
