Jesus LIVED the commandments, He did not need to talk about them - and if we follow His steps we will automatically do the same ! at least we will have the desire to imitate Him and be conformed to His image....for that is GOD's Will and has nothing to do with being proud or selfrighteous. We are well aware that only the sacrifice of Christ gives us this opportunity !
You know that Jesus was 'born under the law - for the purpose of learning obedience. God did not make a mistake but WE are when we reject that basic foundation Heb 5v8,9. Christians think they don't need that sound foundation since they can 'claim it in Christ. This is quite true and works well for Babes and Infants. But at some point in our lives we are to learn to walk, mature and carry our own cross. Jesus is not going to carry us for all eternity.
Btw...to love your neighbour is 'to speak the truth to them !

Jesus was not born under law. Law was given because of sin to identify sin and expose it. Jesus was born of no sin. That's why he had to be born of a virgin and not the seed of man. The seed of man carries with it the original sin and slave to it. Jesus had to be born of the seed of a woman, however women have no seed, But it was God's promise to Eve that a redeemer would come.
The law provides no remedy for sin, the sinless one provides the remedy. Not keeping law which you can't keep no matter how hard you try.

We do read our Bible and you are smoking your socks!
Levitical law was not introduced until the time of Moses.
Your motives are not pure in this - you are trying to shoehorn an understanding into this passage of Scripture that does not exist.
Simply put you are putting the cart before the horse.
You have been going on about how simple things are that even a child can understand.
Well, what you are suggesting is both historically and logically impossible.
You do not want to see this reality because you are blinded by your predjudices.
Abraham had no clue about the law as outlined in Moses time and to try and pretend that he did is plainly dishonest.

What commandments, what statutes, what laws?
This is never elaborated on!
Just to say that they are God's does not prove any kind of argument.
And given that you constantly refer to the word law as torah with a capital T it is absolutely clear what you want to infer given that Levitical law is referred to as Torah.
I repeat that this kind of assumption is both logically and historically false.

I never use the term "Levitical Law".
I think that is your term.
In this passage, it is God, you know, the Almighty, speaking to Isaac.
God tells Isaac why He chose to bless Abraham, and eventually Abraham's Seed.
It is God that says, "Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws"
This is not man's opinion or commentary by man.
This is God speaking.
Why do you have an issue with that?
