Quote:Also the reason Christians "ignore all but 10" is primarily because Moses states that his law was added and is tempoary until Jesus comes.
Putting aside that Moses and the Exodus are probably both myth according to an increasing number of modern scholars---
Neither Jesus (Greco Roman) nor Yeshua/Yoshua (Hebrew) are mentioned in the Torah as far as I'm aware. I presume you mean the Messiah,which Jesus was most definitely not,according to Jewish scholars from then till now. The Messiah MUST be a warrior leader in the tradition of David. Perhaps have a chat with a Talmudic scholar to get a Jewish perspective. There are a couple of on line yeshivas around if you look.
Jesus is reported as admonishing his followers to keep The Law. Until Saul stuck in his oar, (20 years after the death of Jesus at the earliest) inventing what became Christianity, to be a follower of Jesus you HAD to be Jewish or convert to Judaism. That included having a bris and keeping kosher as well as the full body of Mosaic law. Saul abolished most of the law to make it easy for gentiles to join. Had he not done so,Christianity would have remained as it begun; a minor Jewish sect which would have faded away within a few generations. Instead it became a spectacularly successful failed millennial movement.
