I appreciate being able to see the Torah, and G-d, through your perspective. I am (clearly) not a Jew (ethnically) nor am I religiously Jewish. Please know that I did not intend for my view on this topic to be offensive. As a Christian, I also believe that clinging to G-d's commands is not a burden. Actually, I feel burdened when I do not cling to his commands. We may disagree on many (most?) of the finer details, but I hope we agree on that. peace|dewde TidbitsofTorah:

Psalm 119:155
Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

Ezekiel 18:21
But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

Leviticus 20:22
Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.

Leviticus 25:18
Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

Unfortunately, our secular Jews do not keep Shabbos and the commandments. Soon though.

1 Kings 9:6
But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:

Malachi 4:4
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

So as you can clearly see = Torah – G-d's commandments is what religious Jews cling to. When we cling to the commandments we cling to the Almighty our Creator.

The hidden irony is that they turned around and made the statutes and rules sort of a new master instead of God himself.<br><br>peace|dewde Good stuff Vy.
