Wow. You have the gall to go through a chapter and insinuate that the instructions given by the Almighty therein are somehow invalid, or too difficult? You need to spend sometime studying. You missed a big one, right there in the middle - one that every "Christian" claims is not only valid... but something they succeed in doing "most of the time" (because they are Christians):

...you shall love your neighbor as yourself... Leviticus 19:18

Now, for freezing sacrifices, if you would read further, you would know that to NOT offer sacrifices without the Temple in Jerusalem is actually obedience - and no freezing would not count.

Guess what, farmers in the Land of Israel do not reap the corners of their fields... just like they are instructed to do.

The corner of your beard? Do you read Hebrew? Do you know what a corner is? No, you won't be damned for shaving (if you read further you would know that NONE of this is about being "damned" - they are about obeying they One that loves you).

Each one of your points is offensive, as so many others on this thread... because you mock the very words of the Creator of the Universe...

For this commandment which I command you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it out of reach. Deuteronomy 30:11

For this is the love of G0d, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. 1John 5:3

Go read Psalms 119, and read how a man after G0d's own heart speaks about His commandments. Take the time to count each time "commandment, law, statute, ordinance, testimony," etc. is used. Then ask yourself if someone who loves G0d should speak lovingly of His instructions (even those that he does not understand), or use them to mock others.

I guess that you have missed my point to a degree which surpasses even my expectations.

***You need to spend sometime studying. You missed a big one, right there in the middle - one that every “Christian” claims is not only valid... but something they succeed in doing “most of the time” (because they are Christians):

You are very far from the mark.

***Now, for freezing sacrifices, if you would read further, you would know that to NOT offer sacrifices without the Temple in Jerusalem is actually obedience - and no freezing would not count.

We are not in the Land of Israel; you may be, but the majority of folks posting here are not. My question is for those who are not. Do you answer for them?

***The corner of your beard? Do you read Hebrew? Do you know what a corner is? No, you won’t be damned for shaving (if you read further you would know that NONE of this is about being “damned” - they are about obeying they One that loves you). ***

Are you saying that one can disobey God (without further instruction from the Church) and it doesn’t matter? This is a fascinating religion. Does it have a name?

***Each one of your points is offensive, as so many others on this thread... because you mock the very words of the Creator of the Universe...***

Offensive to whom? To Christians? Or to pseudo Jews? I do not mock God; far from it. I mock those who seek to re enter the womb.

***Go read Psalms 119, and read how a man after G0d’s own heart speaks about His commandments. Take the time to count each time “commandment, law, statute, ordinance, testimony,” etc. is used.

I spell God with an O, not a 0, by the way. Why do you spell His Name with a 0? I do not mock anyone who worships Him. I mock those who use Him to advance their own agenda or to garner wealth and power.

I worship and adore Him. I went to Good Friday mass last night and knelt before God and wept at His sacrifice for us in thanksgiving and reverence. I do not spell His Name with a zero.
