“’m sure you do, but the only supporting example you brought was that thread”

Sorry, I didint record the conversationg in real life.

” which wasn’t really a good support.”
I disagree., as do you see below.

” And again, the strongest assertion that was made was that the Avos followed the mitzvos the way we follow them today. ”
Yes and that sint true. For example we are mikayem pidyan haben which the Avos didnt as there were no kohanim.
Im confused are you saying nobody there said this ?

“You and the Wolf need new acquaintances, that’s for sure!”
Agreee

” However, you seem to think that posters in the thread you linked to above are making the same point, which is not the case.”
Read my discussion with Halevai, on that thread. As I understood him and he seemed to be understanding me he was arguing that the Avos literally kept the entire mitzvah. At no point does he say he doesn’t literally mean the entire Torah.

Again if you think i misunderstood him. Im not that invested in this, that isnt really my . Fine Nobody on YWN ever understood that Gemara as being absolutely true in a literal sense.

Ok I accept.
