Where did the 613 Mitzvot Really come from?... (beliefs, Jesus, spiritual)

[Eusebius]

Have you ever thought of the ten words (commandments) as ten prophetic statements?
For instance "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart . . . " could be viewed as a prophetic statement in that the Israelites shall, in the future, do just that when God writes the law on their hearts.

Possible, But that's undue speculation, so don't go creating another doctrine....And look up the grammatical difference between shall and will....Actually in the Hebrew it doesn't say shall...

I did look it up. What people don't get is, God's sayings are His commandments.

The 613 mitzvot were perception of things that were necessary to relate positively in society with man and God. As such, some of them were very specific to the time and culture. The basc idea of doing things that promote a proactive social order that is pleasing to God is still in effect, so, you could say that understood in context the mitzvot are still in effect, but the specifica and particular applications are not.

That may be the way the English translated it but in Hebrew it has the sense of a saying, that's what you're not getting...

I said the commandments are the sayings of the Lord or the word of God. Is that what you are saying?

Maybe that is why people misunderstand because the translation says one thing but in Hebrew it is another meaning.

I would say that is why they have a misunderstanding...

No it doesn't...As long as Christians keep claiming it's religion as an offshoot of Judaism, it belongs here...
