This question arose out of a post by mindhacker last post, where he called out maximus of being ignorant of the law.
I don't blame them, most people learn Christianity first before they even read the Bible, and as such look at the Torah with the Jesus lenses. So every passage they read, they want to see Jesus there. If not, they put him there.
Jesus is no where near the Torah. Which is a kind of constitution for the Jewish nation.
I will get on how it came about and who wrote it in my next post.

The Torah is the first five book of Moses. Starting from Genesis down to Deuteronomy. It is sometimes referred to as the Pentatauch. The Torah is part of the Tanakh. Which comprises of other books
The Torah was not written by Moses, No serious scholar believes Moses wrote it. It was most like written by a group of people lead by Ezra. Who was the originatoyr of Judaism as the national religion of the Jewish people. It was published when the Jews returned home from the Babylon exile. The stories in the Torah are parallel with the Babylonian myths/epics. Like I always say, it is still about the two brothers Enki/Jacob and Enlil/Esau.
The Adam and Eve story is a recast of the Adapa story, which tells how man lost the chance to dwell on earth indefinitely...
There are other reasons why I think the Torah have something to do with Ezra.

The Torah contains God's laws and commandments.
A story is told of how God went from place offering his laws to the community and they rejected it, but he came to the Jews, they asked how much it cost and God said it was free and they shouted "Okay, we will have 10"
Lol
Well, the truth is that God gave every body his laws. The Jews documented it, and he Babylonian documented it, the Indians did to, the Egyptian...we Africans did too...it was passed from one generation to the next orally..
Some intelligent people have also started documenting it in hard forms and teaching them to their people just as Ezra did for his people.

What is the purpose of the law?

There is a post I created with my other moniker titled "What/who is man" ?

I went on to answer that Man is God spirit dwelling within a physical body made from Dust. That is
Man = God's breath/spirit+ body from the dust of the earth. In Igbo it is Enu and Ala or Ani
The part of igbo I belong , we are known as Enuani which encompass the northern part of delta state.
So in a woke mind, Man is God, experiencing life. We are the forms through which God experiences itself or his creation. The understanding of this is what being woke is all about.
We are Gods/Goddesses just having a human experience or walking a human path...not the other way round. That's why it is referred to as human BEING.
The law? It was given to remind us of who we are and act accordingly. Because this human life is a constant struggle between the God spirit and the human body(ego). It is an infinity war.
Just as a different kind of law exist in the spiritual realm, the Torah is the law that exist in the physical. It is the law of existence., till you transition.
The law was given to us basically for us to live in peace by teaching how to win the war between our higher self and our ego. So that we can see ourselves in each other.
The earth is not our home.

I don't pray...
I make declarations and it is established. In Igbo it means "Gor Ofor" when I know who I am.
Whether one Jesus died (which is just body returning to dust and spirit back to God) see Ecclesiastics 12:7 or one million, it does not have any effect on the living. The dead are unconscious and know nothing. That's if the story is true. He is not different from us. I already have a direct relationship with the source, why put anybody or thing in-between ?
Does not make sense.

My people really perish for lack of knowledge.


Wake up, black men and women. We are Gods and Goddesses.

The moral part of the Torah was meant for all mankind, while the rituals are only required of Jewish people. So if any person in the world follows God because they believed and they try to keep his moral laws, then they are righteous according to Judaism even if they are not Jews.
The law is a road map to navigate this life.

Do you think an individual can keep all what is in law in order to obtain righteousness? Remember that failure in one means guilty of all. Was the law really given that humanity might obtain righteousness?

That is a Christian idea. Not Jewish.
So, if I slept with somebody's wife, it means I have beared false witness? Makes no sense.

There are only 10 laws...most other ones are for the priest.
Just keep them you are ok.
It is your behavior that defined you, not your beliefs...

I'm sure that the original Laws and Commandments God gave to the Israelites did not include animal sacrifice and burning of incense, rather, such practices were later adopted from such pagan practices they encountered during their time in Babylon.

The Ten Commandments are much easier to keep than keeping the commandments of the New Testament.
Take Ananias and Sapphira, just for trying to keep some of their own money from their own property, that was it Peter and his men got rid of them.
