That said, the scriptures clearly say that the entire law can be found within the "love God....neighbor as yourself."Liberalism in a nutshell! "Don't worry about all those obscure rituals or taboos that make no sense; just be a good person." Is it any wonder that two thousand years of this nonsense has finally borne its disgusting fruit?

On another occasion it happened that a certain heathen came before Shammai and said to him, "Make me a proselyte, on the condition that you teach me the whole Torah while I stand on one foot." Thereupon he chased him away with the builder's cubit that was in his hand. When he came before Hillel, (he also asked Hillel to teach him the entire Torah while standing on one foot) Hillel replied, "What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor: that is the whole Torah while the rest is commentary; go and learn it." (b.Shabbat 31a)
"Love your fellow as yourself - Rabbi Akiva says this is a great principle of the Torah." (Kedoshim 19:18, Toras Kohanim, ibid. See also Talmud Yerushalmi, Nedarim 9:4; Bereishis Rabbah 24:7)
Shalom

I’m wondering if you’re trying to ‘judaize’ Christians! Once a soul brings the brokena nd contrite spirit to the healing deliverance offered as the Grcae of God in Christ, living a life aligned with ‘the law’ requires two things: love the Lord your God with all you are, and love your neighbor as yourself. Picking at nits seems somehow a regression, not enlightenment.
