> I'm curious now -- are there any specific examples of this that you could mention? I assume because you've posted this question to this thread that you believe there are such situations found here, but I wasn't aware of any, and your next post didn't clear that up fully for me. Mainly, what I'm looking for here are scriptures that describe a particular command as being eternal. (I know they're out there.) I can probably figure out for myself how those commands are being violated now, of course. :-)

Sabbath
Ex. 31:12-17

No eating fat or blood
Lev. 3:17

No working on the 10th day of the 7th month(marked as Yom Kippur on some secular calendars)
Lev. 16:29-31; 23:26-32

Observing Shavu'ot
Lev. 23:15-21

Observing Sukkot
Lev. 23:33-43(see also Zech. 12:1-3; 14:16-19; read around these if you wish)

...for examples.

Once these verses are known, the question is not, or should not be, "Are these for today?", as God Himself has clearly answered that. The question for each person is, "Are these for me?" Well, are you part of Israel? Notice that I've said nothing about "spiritual" and "physical" Israel, or "New Israel", inventions devised to abscond with the blessings while leaving the curses and responsibilities for Israel. And no, the Jews are *not* all there is to Israel any more than, say, New England is all there is to America. And if you still don't see yourself as Israel, then these aren't *necessarily* for you, although they're not prohibited *to* you.
