“2 cents I said it was symbolic cuz a lot of it is. Not all of it. _prophecy_ is generally symbolic. Again relax. You sound so hateful. You can’t understand what I said? Oh right doesn’t fit your brainwashing. If read with _wisdom_ and _common sense_ you can deicer. Which parts are symbolic and which parts are not. I cannot speak for bris milah cuz I never read that part. But like teffilin it’s very clearly _symbolism_”
You have not addressed my main point. You attacked me personally. Labeling someone as hateful does nothing to advance your position.
I will restate the point: the Torah clearly states that anyone who does not have a bris milah faces severe punishment. However, there are no specific instructions on how it should be performed. Oral Law teaches us how to interpret the Torah correctly based on the words Hashem chose, which provides additional guidance so that a person can perform a bris without risking Karas, and correctly fulfill their obligation.
You dismiss this as ‘someone’s dreams,’ but for us, this is oral law passed down through generations, originating from Sinai.
This is just one example among many that show why we must include Oral Law in understanding the Torah.
To your other point about symbolism, being that you don’t accept ‘someone’s dreams,” how is it that you created different categories about what to accept as literal and what to dismiss as symbolism? That seems more like someone’s dream and a convenient way to alter the Torah’s commandments.
If Hashem intended for something to be symbolic and it could be interpreted as literal, he would have made that clear. Bringing up something that can only be interpreted as symbolic does nothing to further your ‘dream.” There is no reason for those clear poetic and symbolic details to be clarified since that is the only interpretation that can be applied.
Categorizing everything that is written in the literal sense and as commandments, as if they are symbolic, is “someone’s dream”.
