Protestant branches of Christianity present ancient Judaism as an impossible religion in which members are always in despair because they can never obey the law. Out of this assessment arises the value of Christianity: The Jewish Law is impossible to fulfill; but good news, one does not have to fulfill it!
Question: Is the Jewish Law really that hard? I have read the O.T. several times. I have read much of Rabbinic Law. None of it seems terribly hard.

JehovahsWitness wrote:CONCLUSION Jehovah's Witnesses do not insist that the Divine name be used to the exclusion of other fitting titles. Nor do we seek to control the personal discourse of others, we merely take seriously the honor and responsibility we have to educate people as to the identity of the True God and expose practices and traditions that fail to accord the Divine Name its rightful place in scripture, prayer and worship.
JehovahsWitness wrote:I said scriptural law or principle and yes, it violates bible principle to deliberately remove the Divine Name from scripture and replace it with an alternative which carries a different meaning.
