May 20, 2019 at 21:33 comment added chortkov2 It is a totally different answer. The question has two parts: (a) assumption that mitzvos will become obsolete, (b) therefore, this contradicts one of the tenets of faith. My first answer deals with the assumption, explaining the source and the possible explanations. The second answer explains why not every change contravenes our faith, as long as it is documented in the original Torah.
May 20, 2019 at 21:30 comment added DonielF Then shouldn’t this be an addendum to your other answer, rather than a stand-alone answer?
May 20, 2019 at 21:29 comment added chortkov2 That depends on how you explain the halacha. According to the Ritva and Rashba, the source is מתים נעשים חפשי - כיון שמת נעשה חפשי מן המצוות - talking either to dead people or to people who have died, even if they are now resurrected... According to the Maharitz Chiyas, it will be a Horaas Shaah, not a change in Torah-as-we-know-it.
May 20, 2019 at 21:25 comment added DonielF And where in the Torah does it say that Mitzvos will be abrogated in the times of Mashiach?
May 20, 2019 at 21:23 comment added chortkov2 @DonielF: This answer does not attempt to explain the gemara, it explains why it does not circumvent one of 13 Principles of Faith - that the Torah won't every change. This answer explains that something which has a source in the Torah isn't a change; it is a kiyum of the Torah.
May 20, 2019 at 21:05 comment added DonielF Do you have a source for this? This doesn’t sound like what the Gemara means at all (the one that you yourself cite in your other answer).
