My mindset is to follow the entire Bible and not just the first five book of the bible. The torah is also know as the Mosaic law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Moses). The Bible says that whoevever tries to live by the law will be placed under the curse of the law. (Galatians 3:10 Listen, whoever seeks to be righteous by following certain works of the law actually falls under the law’s curse. I’m giving it to you straight from Scripture because it is as true now as when it was written: “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t live by and do all that is written in the law.”)... end scripture... So the question becomes what should be done with the law and why was it given to us in the first place? The Bible answers thoes two questions in (Galatians 3:19 Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.)... end scripture... The torah (the Mosaic law) had an expiration date. So when JESUS came, the 613 mitzvot (commandments) were fulfilled. (www.jewfaq.org/613.htm) A brief look at the list makes me realize that I am certain that JESUS did not follow all of the commands (Luke 11:38 The Pharisee was offended that Jesus didn’t perform the ceremonial handwashing before eating—something Pharisees were fastidious about doing.)... end of the scripture... But do not think that JESUS simply erased rules...instead HE summerized the laws into a easy to remember phrase ( John 13:34-35 New International Version (NIV) 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”) .... end of the scripture... So I the only parts of torah that I try to keep are the parts of the torah that JESUS taught me to do. What parts of torah do you try to keep, and why?
