Yes. So what are they and how are each performed?
Its not all these right? If it is, how is each performed and fulfilled daily?
The 613 Commandments (Mitzvot)
Also, I had a medical surgery due to serious illness, how do you take this or am I disqualified now:
Deuteronomy 23:1
He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD
What hope is there for me? How easy is it to do whatever needs to be done in detail daily.
What do you do and how do you spend the roughly 15 waking hours of a day and each of the days of the week and months and what holidays and what actions and why is this believed to be from God and pleasing to God? What authorities or scriptures are we putting our faith and trust in and why?
Thank you in advance for your forthcoming thorough answers to each of these questions.
1 Peter 3:15
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect
Hi DagonVarunaMitraApolloZan.
In my faith, we affirm that as obedient children it is necessary to keep all of the commandments, statutes, and judgments (except the ritual and animal sacrifice Laws) which the Heavenly Father gave to Israel to make them a separate people, Leviticus 20:7-8; Deuteronomy 6:6-9, 25; Deuteronomy 7:6-11; Matthew 5:17-20; Romans 7:12. It is now possible through the Holy Spirit to keep these commandments by faith for our salvation, Ephesians 2:8-10; Jacob 2:17-20. We now keep a spiritual sacrifice rather than animal sacrifices, meal, and drink offerings, Hebrews 13:15-16; 1 Peter 2:5; Romans 12:1; Philippians 4:18.

We also profess to follow the
Old and
New Testaments as closely as possible. This causes us to be viewed as an admixture of
Judaism and
Christianity, although we do not actually mix Christian or Jewish doctrines with the teachings of the Scriptures. We believe that in order to understand the will of Yahweh, the Bible must be harmonized and adhered to as
infallible. Members believe it is integral to keep the commandments of Yahweh including the
seventh day Sabbath from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown (
Exodus 20:8), the holy days as defined in Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16, and a diet of
clean foods as defined in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14.
Romans 7:12 clearly states "So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good."
The Law is a good thing, it was never annulled but rather strengthened. The Messiah didn't do away with adultery for example, but he said that even looking at a woman and lusting after her is a form of adultery. In terms of your question, I would be lying if I told you I had the answer to that because in my faith I have never come across anything like that and I'm hesitant to weigh in on my personal opinion on that matter. I'm just a student, not a teacher. If you like I can ask my faith and see what they say.
What do I do with my week. Well, I work, I have a paid job. Out of work I do charitable things, like helping the homeless, working on a community project or studying. I don't have the internet so I only use it when I'm out, after work, during work while I'm on my break etc. In terms of holidays, the next holiday we are celebrating is Shavuoth. It's a very enjoyable day where we remember the ratification of the Covenant and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the commandments of Yahweh (
Deuteronomy 16:10).
