(1 Pet 2:9)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Deuteronomy 21\u201325<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This section of the Torah (Deut 21:10\u201325:19) contains 72 commandments, which is more than in any other Torah portion. In this passage there are rules pertaining to all aspects of human relations showing that the \u201cTorah deals with the real world. It does not present a world where all people get along with one another or rush to take care of one another\u2019s property. Instead, it \u2018takes into account the grim reality that people do not achieve the desired observance of \u201cyou shall not hate others in your heart\u201d\u2019\u201d (<em>A Torah Commentary For Our Time<\/em> vol. 3, p. 150).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In studying this portion, one can easily miss the point of a particular command if one views it strictly in its <em>pashat<\/em> (most literal) meaning. For these commands to have relevance in our day, one must view them as principles that have a broad range of applications. The specific examples Torah gives are merely representative of one of but many life situations to which the principle behind the example could apply. Keeping this in mind, this Torah portion will give you much to ponder pertaining to your day-to-day walk (or <em>halakhah<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In these chapters we see a plethora of laws concerning many seemingly small details regarding human life. Many people in the church have the tendency to broadly sweep away these commandments with such dismissive cliches as, \u201cWe\u2019re now under grace \u2026\u201d or \u201cWe\u2019re not under the law anymore \u2026..\u201d But please observe how many of the civil laws of our nation regulating actions between various members of society are based upon YHVH\u2019s laws found in the Torah.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As many of us make our way back to a more biblically-based lifestyle and orientation, we begin to see that (a) YHVH cares about the details of our lives and (b) these laws, while sometimes hard to understand, are for our own well-being and blessing. Do you still nurse a \u201cpick and choose\u201d or \u201chave it your own way\u201d mentality with regard to YHVH\u2019s biblical commandments choosing to follow the ones you want and making excuses why you can\u2019t (or don\u2019t want to) follow the rest? By doing so, what blessings are you depriving yourself of, and how are you hindering your love relationship with YHVH?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the laws in these chapters may be hard to observe nowadays. With others, due to our church background, we may have the tendency to spiritualize them away, thus, in essence, rendering them of non\u2011effect in our lives and thereby placing ourselves <em>above<\/em> YHVH\u2019s Torah-law and thus becoming a law unto ourselves. Is this not humanism: every man doing what is right <em>in his own eyes<\/em> instead of obeying YHVH whatever the cost? Who is the Master of your life? You or YHVH?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do you view laws about women wearing men-type clothing, wearing fringes on the corners of your garments, mixed certain types of fibers in clothing, lending without interest, caring for the widows and orphans, personal hygiene, family purity laws (e.g. men not having sexual relations with their wives during their monthly cycles), removing blood from all meat before eating it, men wearing beards, faithfully tithing, following the biblical dietary laws, and observing YHVH\u2019s Sabbaths (weekly and annual), etc.? These are lifestyle-changing laws, many of which go contrary to the mores of our society.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are we not called to be a <em>kadosh<\/em> or holy, set-apart, special and peculiar (i.e. treasured) people before YHVH? Following these laws to the best of our ability will help us to be the people that YHVH has called us to be. What progress are you making to bring your life into conformity to his standards of righteousness?<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Want to be a holy and peculiar people?
