“Not a single poster in the thread claimed that the Avos literally kept every single one of the 613 mitzvos”
first of all, I interact with people in real life too.
Secondly “Not a single poster in the thread claimed that the Avos literally kept every single one of the 613 mitzvos”
not quite, as you identify one poster who DID claim that, read through it there were few others as well. Granted when shown how it couldnt be literal he changed hsi mind (others less so) if not for people who it “bothered” and corrected him, he too would still have the misconception.
” giving terumos to a kohen and then eating them in a pure place as a kohen.”
when I mentioned that to an aquantance who insited the Avos literally kept the Torah he brought a Rayah from a befirish Rashi that Yaakov did in fact do that.
Though the Rayah turned out to be from “Im lavon Gart ves Taryag Mitzvos shomarti” (too people not think that Rashi is well known?) He called me a Kofer when I said that Rashi (and the midrash he was quoting couldnt be literal)
He wasnt the only one.
