Bible Note: Hi, Bub; It's one thing to not make a big deal out of bestiality. It's another to duck my point altogether. ;-) To my knowledge, the OT Law prohibits none of the things I mentioned. Are they all permitted? You said 'My personal take is that building a fire was “work” lo those 4000 years back and since the focus of the Sabbath is no work, it is not the fire per se which was a no no but the work involved in kindling same.' Suppose you're wrong; how will you atone? There is no longer a temple or a high priest to accept your sacrifice; you cannot follow the Law; you cannot be forgiven. And that was my point about misunderstanding or misapplying God's will to which you said "There is no grace nor sacrifice for willful sin, including the blood of Y’shua." With all due respect, that is pure bunk. Read 1 John 1:8-2:2. But I see why you're not worried about no longer being able to sacrifice since you have achieved perfection in this life. ;-) Again, I commend Galations to your attention. The heresy of the Judaizers remains heresy to this day. Have you looked into Jews for Jesus? They are ethnic Jews who have accepted Jesus' claim to be the Messiah and who have also accepted all the teachings of the NT. To them, the Torah is not something newly-discovered but something familiar and deeply loved that pointed the way to Jesus and all of his teachings. Check them out.
