Weren't you a Torah observer?
Well, that really depends on what you mean by that because
Torah is the first five books of the Bible, but most people
who use that phrase are talking about being a Sabbath keeper
and adhering to the dietary laws.
When you look at the Old Testament laws, you see that they're
categorized as being civil, moral, ceremonial, dietary, and
purity. Well, according to the Bible, the purity, ceremonial,
and dietary laws have been done away with. Hebrews chapter 9
and verse number 9 states that there were a figure for the
time then present in which were offered gifts and sacrifices,
which could not make those that did the service perfect as
pertaining to the conscience, which stood only in mead's
drinks and divers washings and carnal ordinances imposed on
them until the time of Reformation. Reformation being defined
as the crucifixion.
So when Jesus died on the cross, he repealed those Old Testament
laws of purity, ceremonial, and dietary because he's the
fulfillment of those.
So the moral law still exists and they existed even prior
to Moses.
