Fixed.
That last sentence doesn't negate how subjective the rationale is 'My religion is real. Others are not' when one is a member of a religion.

^ It did. Accidentally. I just PMed you.
Just saw that, thanks for the PM.
That's not a definition of faith that I've read before.
In fact, it doesn't agree here: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/faith?s=t

IIRC your views line up with Christianity. Feel free to correct me on what you believe.

That's false. The scriptures is not what God sees. Its a manual for how to love Him and each other. It contains wisdoms and glimses onto things beyond our world as we know it. It reminds us there is a higher authority.

Watch Horton hears a hoo. It's actually a good metaphor for the idea of God

When you say 'It's a manual for how to love him and each other', you mean that some of it is a manual about love, right? Because some of what is contained in the scripture is absolutely horrendous, and cannot reasonably be considered as part of a blueprint of love.

I believe in Yeshua/Jesus like Christians do. But,I am grafted into the House of Israel by adopting Gods commands in the Torah/ Old Testament. Unchristian like.
I keep the feasts of YHVH/God and Sabbaths. No xmas, easter. I observe they dietary laws: no pork, seafood, or any unclean animals.

Faith in the Bible is typically defined as a verb. Chapter 11 of Hebrews shows examples of this

How is the decision made that something is a commandment that must be followed while something else is a directive that isn't in the 'must be followed' category?

If there's a portion of scripture that God is speaking and says do this, then you do it. You obviously take into account who is being spoken to and if its a momentary instruction.
Many places He says, this is a perpetual statute throughout your generations. All throughout scripture harps to keep His commands. He not talking about just 10 of them.

I completely understand that there are far more than 10 commandments.
How is the decision made that a biblical directive does NOT apply anymore?

I was using the English definition of the word.
Is this another example of a mistranslation, though?

Yea. Verses pretaining to sacrifices and the priesthood they cannot be fulfilled because the temple is destroyed. (But they are to resume once the temple is rebuilt, before Yeshua comes back, according to prophecy.)
