As I always say you have to read the bible and study for yourself.

Truth.

Preachers/Pastors etc can help you understand the bible more, but always read/study the book yourself instead of taking someone's words for it 100%

He was on his way before his passing,but you don't need to learn Hebrew to know something isn't right about the bible as its written.

You don’t have to but it would be a damn good start.

Just like anything I remember growing up being taught about Columbus this and Columbus that and Lincoln freeing the slaves.

Pastors etc are just men, just like people here are like oh it’s a fat elephant cac article it’s bs.

There are Hebrew to English exact translation bibles out there

Yeah I have one on my iPad but that doesn’t replace learning the nuances of the language so you can get full understanding.

Have you ever seen white folks try and interpret rap lyrics?

Your comments prove that you have not read neither understand the bible. No one is required to keep the old covenant.

I know that but that seems to be what Reggie White was indicating that we must understand and apply the Old Testament in its original context as well as in original Hebrew dialect in this video if I understood him correctly.

Interesting prospective. My dad has actually taken on a similar line of thinking. I think the question to ask is taking the Old Testament in this way realistic for the time we’re living in?
I feel one would have to strip themselves from society in so many ways to truly keep the old covenant.

Reggie wasn't even advocating the keeping of the Old Covenant though. He was advocating truly knowing what the old covenant said (by understanding Hebrew) so that we could have true revelation of how it's tied to the new covenant.

He spoke explicitly about what he felt was the purpose & reason for the new covenant.

He spoke on believers obeying the commandments just like the Jews. I took that to mean that we should be following the Old Testament as they do. He could’ve meant that we as Christians don’t even follow the Ten Commandments properly but he was saying it’s more to it than that obviously.

That was the point. They were supposed to be separate from the gentile societies they were around:

Jeremiah 10:2
Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

Fair point about the Old Testament today. Are we to sacrifice animals?

Nope. You can only sacrifice when God gives you a place to offer the sacrifice and when there are Levite priests in place to accept your sacrifices. Without those, you cant sacrifice.Your repentance and actions take the place of sacrifices today.
