On both of ours doctrines (Judaism and Christianism) the theology recommends the use of exegesis(*).. or exegese (I'm not sure about the word in english)

Far Beyond of crime and punishment.. The Torah is mostly a book of principles..

IMO, and on my try of be "exegeters".. The question: What is the frontier of our love or where we have "deposited" our passions? ..it is more applicable than should this a prohibition of something or should not..

The prohibition on human sacrifice sounds clear.. Not in some specific text.. But, because by principles God didn't gave us people. HE gave us things (resources).. and HE triest a prepared heart to return it..


(*)Exegesis is a word that comes from Greek, being composed of preposition EK (of) and of the substantive form of verb HEGEOMAI (to go, to guide, to lead), Exegesis is the careful and systematic study of the text to discover the meaning original intended.
