Yes, Jesus honored Abraham by obeying the laws that were given to him to teach his children. Abraham wasn't teaching the Levitical law because it didn't exist in his day.dwight92070 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 8:40 amby dwight92070 » Sun Jul 04, 2021 7:40 am
Jesus honored Abraham and Moses and the Mosaic law. He did NOT see that law as coming "from foreign gods", as you do.
Moses wasn't teaching the Levitical law either. He was teaching the SAME thing that Jesus was teaching, as it says: "All ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank of the rock that followed them and that Rock was Christ.
People added to the word of God, something we are told not to do. The Bible may say that Moses said this or that, but as it is said, " Many will come in My name and teach false words."

How is this a NEW commandment?
Deut.10:19 "Therefore love the stranger, for you were once strangers in the land of Egypt.
Lev. 19:18 "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
Lev. 19:17 " You shall not hate your brother in your heart,"
Lev 19:34 "You shall love the alien as yourself."
Zech. 7: 9-10 " Thus says the Lord, Render true judgments, show mercy and compassion everyone to his brother. Do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the alien or the poor. Do not devise evil in your hearts against one another."
