What the issue of your "honor Torah?" question really boils down to, Mercy, is the actual context we are often unknowingly unaware we are looking at things through even as we believe we are actually looking at them from where we believe we are.
For example, from my reading into of your response, I could assume you did not consider what I wrote - in light of those passages I referred to. I could assume you did not look them up. Or, that you did not because, my words not matching your understanding of things as you see them, you rejected them outright.
Aware of those contexts I might fall into, I choose to ignore them as the reality and simply conclude that what ever transpired in translation between my words and your understanding of them you simply did not understand them as I'd intended them.
For I do not believe Torah was, is, ever will be temporary, nor did I assert otherwise.
Fact is, even those who would assert otherwise end up honoring it as they understand "honoring" - which is why the Son, praying for those who had thought they were following Torah in having Him crucified, those who, under Torah, actually were ognorantly guilty of killing one of their own - those who His death provided a "city of refuge" for.
In short, forgive me for your perception of where I fall short. None of us are perfect - if we were, why did He have to shed His Precuous Blood as our refuge?
I believe it best to just look at our perceptions of others faults, and or failngs as the opportunity to give them the grace our Father has given us in His Son "that they may see your good works and praise your Father which is in Heaven."
Again, we can always turn what offends us into a means of His glory.
My apology, for having offended you.
