Bible Note: Your not a Christian, so we have no problem. Your point of view is different than mine so be it. You post this "You have stated that you only do what Yeshua says. He says that you are to teach all of the commands of Torah, even the least of them (Mat 5:17-19)." If I do what Christ said so what is it I am not going to do? I think you contradict yourself here. What is it anyway, I did disobey when I going to love God with all my heart, soul, might and etrength did I break the law when I did this? this question I raised in my previous post and you ignore to answer. What is it in the law I did not disobey if I am going to love my niehbor as I love my self? As I said to you Christ fulfill the law in the deep meaning without contradiction and I will try to follow that. The law said, thou shall not kill but it also has the teaching tom kill anyone that do things in the day of sabbath. You said:"How can observing commands given by the Supreme being himself be bad? How can a day of rest be considered evil? No once acusses Christians of being legalists or in bondage because they go to church on Sunday or celebrate Easter or Christmas, why are we considered legalists because we decide to rest on Saturday and celebrate the feasts that God designed? I am not saying that the command of the supreme being is bad I did not mentioned this, you accused me here in the things that I never committed. You must hate paul because what he was written is the one i am using to discuss with you. Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. I am not the one saying this my friend, it is the apostle of Christ, are they crazy when they write it? If you decide to rest on saturday its okay, God rest on Sabbath day, then you should hate Christ because He decide to do works on Sabbath day. He heal sick He gathered corn to eat with His desciples on sabbath day. You said "You are correct, we cannot observe all of the commands, such as the stoning of one who lights a fire on Shabbat." If you cannot observe all in the law, meaning you leave the other undone, let my God Christ call you hypocrites! Mt 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
