Now as to your points: I am most confused as to why someone who believes in sola scriptura to invoke rabbinic commentaries. But then I've noticed this before: some Protestant who believes in sola scriptura starts invoking commentaries, and if I do the same thing they start screaming WHERE IS THAT WRITTEN??? You're not the first person to pull that switcheroo, but it's hypocritical and dishonest no matter who does it.
But to get to the meat of the matter, once again you're invoking Isaiah (honestly, I was expecting "There is none that doeth good, no not one") and ignoring the fact that the Torah is the Ultimate Revelation by which all others are judged. No prophet, no Psalm, can predict the replacement of the Torah by some other religion. If any of them had, the Men of the Great Assembly would never have canonized the books.
The Torah contains no expiration date, and as a matter of fact, says in several places that its commandments are to be kept "forever." The idea that the Torah is a preliminary and preparatory revelation superseded by the Prophets (and later by the "new testament") is one of those chrstian assumptions.
At any rate, any further discussion we do should be on another thread. This thread is about Rabbi Lapin's article on Hebrew.
“I don’t know what I did to offend you and make you into an enemy, but whatever it was I’m sorry.”
I am not a liberal. I am not offended by anything you have said. You issued a challenge to Christians in this thread, as you usually do, and so I answered it.
If you don’t want this thread to come off topic from what it supposedly was supposed to be about, you should probably avoid making silly assertions against Christianity in it.
“Now as to your points: I am most confused as to why someone who believes in sola scriptura to invoke rabbinic commentaries.”
You should probably think about what you have written, and think about what I am responding to, then it will become clear. You claimed that Christian interpretations of the Old Testament are forced intrusions that no objective Jew can come up with on his own. So, therefore, I gave an example of a Jew before the time of Christ giving what is supposedly a Christian interpretation. It’s quite simple.
“The Torah contains no expiration date, and as a matter of fact, says in several places that its commandments are to be kept “forever.” “
Speaking of statutes that will stand forever, do you sacrifice an unblemished lamb according to the law of Moses?
