I don't understand how it works that you separate the terms Torah and the law of Moses. As I asked earlierHow it works? I don't understand what you mean.
If you're saying that all the prophets and the Torah - but not the law of Moses - prophesied until John, then I'm curious what you see as the Torah apart from the law of Moses.
How about some examples?
It isn't obvious to me. Are you thinking the Ten Commandments? Or things like creation, circumcision, Passover?As to your last question, isn't that obvious? What is in Genesis and early in Exodus?
Sorry I haven't answered before. I just now saw this.I don't understand how it works that you separate the terms Torah and the law of Moses. As I asked earlier
It isn't obvious to me. Are you thinking the Ten Commandments? Or things like creation, circumcision, Passover?
Well, you could give more examples. You had given Leviticus and Deuteronomy previously as examples of things that were Torah but not the law of Moses, but then you talked about changing your position. So I'm not sure if those are still valid examples of Torah but not the law of MosesSorry I haven't answered before. I just now saw this.
I think I have explained the difference I see between the Torah and the law of Mosrs to you as well as I can.
Okay... I asked,As to what I emphasized, yes.
I really confuse you.Well, you could give more examples.

Okay... I asked,
"Are you thinking the Ten Commandments? Or things like creation, circumcision, Passover?"
So... Yes to which?
Okay... Did you want to give examples of passages that are Torah but not the law of Moses?I really confuse you.
Yes I changed my opinion and they are examples of both.
All.
It's up to youI don't see the need after my last comment.
So confused you're very hesitant to assume anything.It's up to you
If Genesis, the first part of Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy are all Torah and the law of Moses, I can't imagine what would qualify as Torah but not the law of Moses.
Just the last part of Exodus?
I don't think I asked you about Numbers. Is that part of the law of Moses?
I'm confused about what you're saying, yes. That makes me hesitant to assume anything about what you're sayingSo confused you're very hesitant to assume anything.
Are you still claiming that there scripture passages that are Torah but are not the law of Moses?Yes Numbers is part of the law of Moses as it is instructions God gave Moses to pass on to the Israelites.

All we have left is the last part of Exodus, I believe.
So... Pure Torah is all of Genesis and Exodus up to 20:23 or thereabouts.Yes. Exodus up to until after the 10 commandments were given is pure Torah. Probably the easist way to understand my position is that anything to do with the laws God gaave to Moses to give to the people has to do with the law of Moses.
The lack of the laws given by God to give to the people.So... Pure Torah is all of Genesis and Exodus up to 20:23 or thereabouts.

Remember, you must not make any idols of silver or gold to rival me.www.biblegateway.com
I'm assuming you see something in the scriptures to indicate this, what are you seeing?
Okay, getting back to the original idea...The lack of the laws given by God to give to the people.
Absolutely! And this came to my mind

So, the part of Torah that isn't the law of Moses, the beginning of Genesis through Exodus 20:23, mentions John the Baptist? Maybe it does, nothing is standing out in my memoryI don't know that I like that translation. Here is why.
Here is where I believe Jesus is referring to the Torah because the Mosaic law in no way prophecied till John as it never mentioned him. He is using the word law in another way just like Paul did as Malachi prophecied of the coming of Elijah.

Not that I know of. I've never read anything like that until much later in the OT. In the minor prophets if my memory serves me right.Okay, getting back to the original idea...

All I can say to that is Jesus was privy to information I do not have.Okay... Then it doesn't seem like this actually follows
It seems to me, then, that "law of Moses" is just fine here.

Well, post #74 there talks about the Talmud, how difficult it was to keep all of the things in it. I definitely agree, we don't need to keep the Talmud.To help you understand the Sabbath keepers' position read the following post of mine.
Jesus reveals that the 4th commandment is not moral law
Nope, he did dot make the Mosaic Covenant with all peoples. He made that covenant only with Israel (Lev 26:46; Deut 4:7-8; 6:20-25; 31:26; Ps 147:19; Est 3:8; Neh 9:7-15; Ezek 28:20:10-12; Act 7:53; Rom 9:4, etc.). Moreover, the Mosaic Covenant was bilteral in nature. Only the nation of...www.christianforums.com
It isn't difficult to keep it is impossible. Paul spoke to this in the NT in a few places but a person has to be familiar enough with the Talmud to understand where. I listed three of those instances in one of my last posts to Doran. He hasn't answered it yet and I'll be interested in seeing what he has to say.Amen, and true for all of us
