RE: [TruthTalk] Unilateral covenant

[Slade Henson]

ï The principle here, if your teachers would have had better understanding to then teach you, is the Second Temple hermeneutical principle called Kol v'Chomer which means Light and Heavy. The use is show how heavier weight needs to be given to the more important things of Scripture WITHOUT deleting or negating the lighter. We see the principle in the Sabbath question. We're not to work on the Sabbath, but we're also to do good on Sabbath. This is why it was perfectly fine to heal a man on Sabbath. It also one of two ways to explain why the former crippled man was able to carry his bed mat on the Shabbat.   The "You should do" refers to the weightier things of Torah. I listed those for you. The "without neglecting" refers to tithing even the miniscule of produce.   -- slade, awaiting the "myth"   P.S. I have no basis/foundation by which to understand the phrase "JC is focused on the truth like an crocadile on the corn (on the little yellow nuggets, not merely the windblown tassles:)" Could you resubmit for me? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 25 November, 2004 12.18 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Unilateral covenant 'you should do' is a suggestion phrase requiring obedience to nothing--and, the suggestion is to 'some Pharisees' whose religious tradition died 'without neglecting the weightier things of the Torah' which requires obedience to nothing--JC is focused on the truth like an crocadile on the corn (on the little yellow nuggets, not merely the windblown  tassles:)
