    Nowhere does it say Moses BROUGHT down other then the commandments.  It
    was the Pharasises' that added their own rules and regulations to the
    commandments.  Please when you make a statement of fact give me the chapter

    valitidity and cannot be found in Scripture.

   I take it your are a reformed Jew.  You seem to have no qualms about using
   the name of GOD in ways that the orthadox would find blasphmeous.
