“but that is an EXTREMELY slippery slope.
I am not afraid of a slippery slope. I try to do what is correct. I hope when the next issue arises I will be able to decide that properly also. I will not lock myself into things which are wrong in order to never have to make difficult decisions”
True point. Maybe I should have made my point differently. If we say about any issue that times have changed and the Torah therefore means something different, than there is absolutely nothing absolute in the Torah. Why can we not say that Kashrus, Shabbos or any other mitzvah is irrelevant today (or means something totally different than what Judaism traditionally explains it to mean,) since times have changed? The only true response to that is that the Torah transcends time and was written to all generations.
