Most here will already know that I'm not a proponent of confining the Word of Yahuah 'as Written' to a ghetto reserved for "messianic jews and hebrew roots [pagans]" - but this week's midrash would be unwelcome otherwise anyway. Perhaps more importantly, the "Big Finish" to the Book of Deuteronomy blows so much of the 'twisting' of the Whore Church to smithereens that it gets ignored anyway, so here goes...
Parsha Nitzavim ["you are standing THIS Day..."] contains what I contend is one of the most graphic and undeniable refutations of some of THE Biggest Lies in all xtianity...things that are NOT in the Real Book, but get taught in sun-god-day skool as if they actually were.
It also contains THE singular Two Word Summary of not only His Instruction, but how to "rightly divide the Word," which applies even if if it even appears to the 'uneducated and untaught' as if there is some conflict.
If you've ever wondered how the Big Lie of the Whore of Babylon get spread, this is a good start:
Parsha Nitzavim [“you are standing THIS Day…” from Deuteronomy 29:9 through chapter 30] contains what Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa contend is one of the most graphic and unden…

I have for a while now referred to anyone who follows a doctrine that explains a way to circumvent and NOT keep the commandments of YAH as a "talmudian".
The simplicity that is in MessiYAH YAHushuWaH is perverted by so many obtuse doctrinal pirouetting, we really have to become as little children to see and understand.
I was never referred to as a torah keeper or a judaizer until coming on to this platform, and I have spoken with many believers before under the banner of "Come let us reason together..." to simply obey "Christ" and stop dancing round what is written.
I believe there is a great amount of cognitive dissonance regarding simple obedience to the commandments of YAH because of the "talmudian" mindset taught, which puts a personal interpretation of the word of YAH over what was actually said or written.
As an aside I had to sit with a grown man raised in the church to help him read a passage of scripture word by word like one would a child for him to see that a verse of scripture regarding divorce is gender specific, because he was reading the doctrine he had been taught into the text. Doing that simple thing brought him freedom from the bondage of false church doctrine that he could never marry again even though it was his wife who both committed adultery and divorced him.
Referring to the passages you presented
@Mark C from Deuteronomy 29:9 through 30 I thought about passages in the didascalia that states clearly that the law is not done away with and that Christian's are meant to keep everything up until the first tablets before they were broken
(I'm paraphrasing)
"See, I have set before you this day life and good, death and evil.
If you obey the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you this day, by loving the LORD your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, then you shall live and multiply, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you are entering to take possession of it. — Deuteronomy 30:15-16 RSV
The commandments is mentioned in the didascalia, which includes the didaché which mentions "the preparation day", then the sabbath which is a clear commandment is then circumvented by "talmudianism", an explanation that links the text to a religious practice that is not supported by the text alone. Genesis 3 is the greatest example of this practice.
Jumping, we can then talk about being grafted in, as spoken by the apostle Paul to the roman ekklesia, and should ask the question, grafted into what ? If one is able to explain away simple obedience to the commandments and the following statement
Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law. — Romans 3:31 NASB95
Trying to raise and lead a biblical family without Torah is a free for all mess.
Trying to be a Patriarch without Torah is like using your own hand span to measure yourself as you grow.
I know this post is not as cogent as my usual contributions, I am just attempting not to step on admin toes, pussy footing around the crux of the issue which is just not me, so, I have to ask, if every mention of Torah/Law which includes the commandments is deleted from the gospels and letters what are we left with ?
How can we choose life by circumventing his commands ?
