What positive commandment is derived from 'You shall do according to the laws they shall instruct you'?
The Torah's command in Deuteronomy 17:11 obligates every Jew who believes in Moses to rely on and follow the Supreme Sanhedrin — this is a positive commandment.
Question 2
Which category of Sanhedrin rulings can NEVER be disputed?
Received oral traditions are never disputed. If a dispute exists regarding something, that itself proves it was not received as a tradition from Moses.
Question 3
How were unresolved legal questions handled when the Sanhedrin was in session?
Questions moved from the local city court, to the Temple Mount court, to the Temple Courtyard court, and finally to the Supreme Sanhedrin in the Chamber of Hewn Stone.
Question 4
When two sages disagree on a matter of Rabbinic law with no clear resolution, what is the rule?
In Rabbinic matters, when there is doubt and no resolution, one follows the more lenient opinion. For Scriptural matters, the stringent opinion is followed.
Question 5
What was the primary consequence when the Supreme Sanhedrin was nullified?
Once the Great Sanhedrin ceased, disputes multiplied — one sage would rule something impure and another pure, one would forbid and another permit — with no binding resolution.
