How is it that the New Testament era has changed all of these concepts, and yet God remains the same? I hope to struggle through some of these concepts, seeing if there is room or need for helpful change so that we can serve God with each little thing we do every day. I do take seriously the fact that we are supposed to love God with everything. But what does that look like?

There is nothing new under the sun, but maybe a discovery of the original intention and context can help us to understand and love God how He intended. That is a dangerous thing to talk about. Faith acts are very dangerous. They sometimes make the system of norms angry. They sometimes inspire. They sometimes heal. They sometimes teach us that we are weak.
