You need to know the "to who, when, how to, and where" of these commandments.
Perhaps if I ask a question it might help?
If you do not have parents, should you keep the obeying parents commandment?
If the criteria for a commandments does not present itself, does that mean the commandment is abolished? Of course not.
Our High Priest has all of this under control in the Heavenlies, in a higher order, where such criteria still exists and He offers intercession daily.
Actually the answer to that question would be 'yes' if you consider the purpose of the law to obey your parents. Obeying your parents unto the Lord so that your life can be long and prosperous is to obey your parents teachings that guide a straight, good, honest life in obedience to God.
Your parents don't need to be alive for you to continue to obey their teachings.
We should continue to live our lives in honor to them as we bear their name and God still knows if we are obeying their teachings that ultimately honor Him.
Ephesians 6
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.
I do have a question in light of this thread - if the HR believe that there will be sacrifices again in the millennium then you must believe that somehow God still thinks they are necessary. Then why are you not doing them now?
What changes occur for the millennium that don't exist now? And if it is because it is inconvenient - didn't God have them set up a tent during their wilderness days?
