I am not Catholic.
And you're not a Jew. You may claim you are but talk is cheap.
I am not Catholic.
I think your version is problematic. God did not say it's not too difficult for you. He said it was not hidden from them, not across the sea, or in the Heavens - that is contextually how to translate the word.
That's true, Moses was a Christian and did what Christ instructed him to do.
I am. I am a convert. So I am a Jew.And you're not a Jew. You may claim you are but talk is cheap.
Like many on this forum, you do not understand what Jews are or what Judaism is. Jews are a nation. Judaism is the religion of the Jews. Judaism is not a "faith" like Christianity. To convert to Judaism means joining the Jewish nation, not just accepting a "faith".
Moses believed in the one true God as I do. He spoke or wrote of Yeshua.
Luke 24:44 NASB - 44 Now He said to them, "These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled."
John 5:46 NASB - 46 "For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.
Yes. He is. Jesus observed and taught the Law.Matthew 23:2-3 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat: all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do;
Isn't Jesus supporting the LAW and the Jewish interpretation of the LAW?
1. Oddly enough, God thought people could keep them. See Deuteronomy 30. Is your god foolish? Mine isn't.
2. How many federal laws are there in the USA? How many State laws? How many city ordinances? Many thousands, I expect. Are people expected to obey them?

I have a word about number 9: To listen to the Prophets speaking in His name. IMHO, this applies not only to the
Jews but also to Christians. Why? For two reasons: First, because the Prophets spoke in God's name that no one can die for the sins of another.
The 350+ Messianic Congregations in Israel are the only "true Jews". The are of the Jewish "Sect of the Nazarenes" which existed in the 1st Century A.D., before the diaspora, and now have reemerged in these "Last Days" (since 1975).
This is complete nonsense. Bull manure. It's like saying "the only true Christians are the ones who converted to Islam"
Why in the world should I accept your myths?Actually, there are a multitude of Messianic Congregations in the U.S. and elsewhere.
I visited 2 synagogues in a medium-sized city in Arizona in 2014.
You need to "wake up and smell the coffee" before its too late.
Why in the world should I accept your myths?
Oh, I forgot, you consider the "Exodus" to be a myth. Carry on. :carryon:
Seriously. Give me a good solid reason why I should become a Christian.
WRONG.
The Akedah, or ”Binding of Isaac”, is the illustration YHWH gave us.
[ie: father-son--offering of son-resurrection of son promised]
Perhaps you didn't "get the memo"... or perhaps "Judaism" has "something to hide"?
Genesis 22:1-19
You shouldn't.
The "Sect of the Nazarenes" has existed since about 30 A.D. (although in very small numbers until recently).
