  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

That's not necessary since Deut 29:1 and 30:10-14 is a about all of the laws written in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.

If you obey the Lord your God and keep his commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law and turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Deuteronomy 30:10

“‘Keep all my decrees and all my laws and follow them. I am the Lord.’” Leviticus 19:37.

So those who are under the Law must keep all of the Law, every single one of the hundreds of the commands of the Law.

His health laws etc. What's included in the etc? Surely that's been established by now, rather than that information being some mystery held in secret by those who are able to handle it.
It’s not a mystery, but most commandments fall under an umbrella of the Ten Commandments- if we don’t keep the basics it would make understanding scripture really difficult. God’s righteousness is for everyone because He knows what’s best for us and would not ask us to do something unless it is for our own good. 1 John 5:3

God is so patient with us and long suffering, but He tells us what is going to happen a head of time because He loves us, but people still don’t believe His Words. They believe in Him, but not enough to do and somehow convinced themselves they don’t need to despite the very Words of Jesus John 14:15, Matthew 15:3-9 Mat 19:17:19, Matthew 5:19-30 1 John 2:6

I can't help but take notice of the fact that if asked about keeping the Sabbath or eating a porkchop, there's not shortage of answers and teaching.

But suddenly with this question it's, "The answer is there. No sense in anyone telling you. Bye"
If we ever got to the point where someone who was opposing the Bible Sabbath could get past rejecting that Bible teaching and finally get to one of those other topics, having accepted scripture on the former - we would be having a different conversation

Would you be willing to say where the scripture passages are found that contain the instructions from the Old Testament that we are to keep today?
We started with the TEN in Deut 5:22, but you found that to be a bit difficult to accept. Is it your view that you prefer something even easier?

I'm not asking why, I'm asking what. As in what laws in the Torah are still supposed to be obeyed?

Let's start simple and then work our way from there.

THE TEN - Deut 5:22
I know I'll get a precise answer to that regarding the laws of which animals are clean and unclean to eat
Ok - Lev 11


. But what about the rest of the laws in the Torah that are still supposed to be kept? What are they?
There are fewer than the 1050 list in the NT..

So are you still struggling back there on Deut 5:22 and Eph 6:2??

The fact it is the first time the New Covenant is mentioned, and it is mentioned in the present tense escaped your notice? Or maybe the importance of that fact wasn't worthy enough to you to make mention?

Do you know the difference between commandments, statutes and ordinances and judgments? What is mentioned in Deut 30:10-14 and what isn't?

Amen my friend.
Those of the Faith do whether they understand or not. When told to leave their country and family they will NOT ask why. When told they must sacrifice themselves in sacrificing there only son they will NOT ask why. All is needed is a thus saith the Lord and they will be doing what God intended. We will NOT ask why as if we need to understand before doing. We Will do as the Spirit leads. That is faith. Faith will be even unto death. God thank you for this gift of faith and your strength and wisdom to get us through amen

It’s true like Abraham with Isaac, he didn’t ask God why, He didn't; compare all the laws before deciding if he was going to obey, he just trusted God and obeyed.

God is so patient with us and long suffering,
And these things were written for our ensamples and for an admonition take heed lest we fall.


1Cor 10:7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
1Cor 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
1Cor 10:9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
1Cor 10:10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
1Cor 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
1Cor 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
1Cor 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

At the time that was written the Old Covenant was a new covenant.

They are all to be obeyed according to God.

Keep all my decrees and all my laws and follow them. I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:37

That is not the old covenant being spoken. Read 29:1 again.

But you can't list all of the Laws of the Torah we're supposed to keep.

Apparently you also can't list the Laws of the Torah that we're supposed to still keep, beyond the Sabbath and what's clean and unclean to eat.

I'm struggling as it were to get a straight answer to a direct question.
