Actually, God had 613 Laws but Christians chose to only follow 10 of them.God has 10 Laws. Jesus added one. That is it.
What would civilization be like if we followed them? Perfect.
That's true, but aren't some of them a bit redundant? I mean, there's one that says to love your fellow believer, and then another one that says not to hate you fellow believer, then another to love converts. Aren't those three essentially one rule?
none is redundant and, in fact, each deserves extensive study to understand its unique implications. there are 2 categories -- aseh ("to do") and "lo ta'aseh" (not to do). We have certain pairs of commandments like "do love your neighbor" and "don't hate your neighbor." Because they are in separate categories, there are different consequences and applications.
