The Hebrew word for “law” or “commandments” is Torah. The Torah are the books of Moses, the first five books of the Christian bible. Yahuah spoke to Moses and told him what to repeat to His chosen people. This was recorded in the Torah.
This Torah is the equivalent to a help guide to successful living. Think of it as a roadmap to a blessed life, a way to rise above, an inside track. In the Torah are recorded the path to health, success, brotherhood, and happiness. Yahuah created nature and the entire universe. He knows how it works, and He knows how you were designed to work in conjunction with nature best.
It only stands to reason that Satan would not want you to have this blessing. So being the liar of all liars, he has started the lie that the “law” is bad. The lie is that it is a burden, a restraint upon happiness, joy, and freedom. This lie is alive and working today very well in Christianity. The New Testament of the bible has been altered just enough to propagate the lie that the law of Yahuah, the Torah has been superceded by the blood of the Messiah. But Yahusha the Messiah said differently himself. Much of the truth is left in the gospels of the Messiah, and those advocating the abolition of the Torah apparently just don’t read those verses.
Matthew 5 (Young’s Literal Translation) 17`Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the prophets--I did not come to throw down, but to fulfil; 18 for, verily I say to you, till that the heaven and the earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away from the law, till that all may come to pass. 19 `Whoever therefore may loose one of these commands--the least--and may teach men so, least he shall be called in the reign of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach them , he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens.
Why would Yahuah God want to punish His followers? He is not sadistic. If a nation of group of people would follow the Torah, in a few generations poverty, disease, and crime would all be eradicated, as would the need for bank loans, physicians, lawyers and the police.
You would have no mortgage, no debt of any kind. You would not be paying high taxation. Most of America’s income tax pays for the interest on the bank loan to use the dollar. Usury is not permitted in the Torah. You can’t get richer by being rich. Everyone works. And working results in better mental health and happiness. You would begin adulthood with a full complement of belongings to start your life with, a house, property, everything you need. You would do the same for your children, because you will be able to afford it not having to pay all that interest on loans to get started yourself. And poverty drives crime.
Within the Torah is a guide to healthy eating habits. Do not eat pork; the meat is full of worms. And do not eat bottom-feeding fish. Do not eat any unclean animal. These animals were created to clean up nature of toxins. Do not eat these. They are not food for you. Obesity, Cancer, and all disease would be eradicated if humans would stop eating wrong.
There is a wealth of better living standards found in the Torah that if applied today or at any time in history that would result in the blessed life. But Christianity today believes that we can disobey Yahuah, and He will be happy to fix it with prayer. This isn’t how the nature He created works. He has already healed us. He has already blessed us. He has already given us everything we need in abundance if you would not abuse it. You can stop praying and asking Yahuah God to heal your miserable life, and accept the gift already given. Obedience to the Torah was His answer from the beginning and still is the answer; always was and always will be. Do not throw it away, keep it and be blessed.
