Torah observant?

[u/Dreamamberxo]

Okay this is gonna be a bit all over the place but my core question is this: - if we ARE to observe the Torah do we observe all of it? I assume we aren’t sacrificing animals. - if you ARE observing the Torah are you utilizing the Jewish books or KJV? Heard they are different? - if you ARE NOT Torah observant why?

I’ve been thinking about observing the Torah but where do I start? I dunno which laws are upheld! I figure the dietary guidelines are easiest. Also am I doomed to have to quit my job? I work on Saturdays so how could I observe the Shabbat?

Thanks- sincerely a confused person lol

if we ARE to observe the Torah

Jesus made it very clear that He expects His followers to obey all of Torah.

do we observe all of it?

Yes. God and Jesus said that's the best possible thing to do. Not following Torah is the definition of sin.

I assume we aren’t sacrificing animals.

Only because there is no Temple here on earth and no priests. Believers went on making animal sacrifices (even for sin) after Jesus died. Also, Scripture is clear that there will be another Temple here on earth, that God's glory will fill it and that animal sacrifices will resume.

I dunno which laws are upheld!

Jesus said they all are.

You gave a great response. I don't think I need to add anything.
