 0 - Introduction

The Torah is the first five books that are in the bible that people called "Old Testaments". In reality, there aren't Old and New, there is one testament = God's Law, it was announced by God's prophets and this Law remain forever. God's can't be changed or modified. God sent Jesus to earth to announce His Word. Jesus completed God's Law, he didn't abolish God's Law; he clarifies it. Jesus is the Lamb of God; it means Jesus is the substitute for the sin’s offering, therefore, the prophets describe Jesus as the lamb that is offered to God for the remission of sins. It means, the sin’s offering law wasn’t abolished. The Christian churches as the protestant church follow Paul’s teaching, not Jesus; they believe that God’s Law was abolished through Jesus death on the cross. This type of teaching is a heresy because Jesus clarifies our obligations to obey God’s Law fully until the end of times, until the earth and heave disappear. Did heaven and earth disappear? No, so we have to obey God's peaceful that was announced by Moses, which Jesus spoke of.

Paul is a false apostle because Paul’s teachings contradict Jesus’ Word = God’s Word.

Jesus said: 17 do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. 18 For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one title shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven, Mathew 5:17 to 19.

Jesus warned us about false prophets; however, Jesus didn't contradict God's Law that is the Torah and Moses. On the contrary, Jesus commands us to obey God's Law [the Torah] in full, without removing one dot of the Law, Matthew 5:17 to 18.

During Jesus' era, Jesus preached about the peaceful commandments of God; Jesus rejected revenge. Jesus confirmed the accuracy and the peaceful commandments of the Torah = (God's Law). If Jesus spoke peacefully about the Torah and God's Law, why the Torah contains violent commandments?

Are there gods that have mighty power to judge and to create? No, there is one perfect and loving God only; He has power to create, judge through righteousness, He forgives through repentance; and He is the Creator of all. There are four different categories of people. The first category believes, worships, and obey God's the Creator. The second category invented its own gods ignorantly to worship. The third category doesn’t believe in God's existence. The fourth category is about the ungodly that know God and deliberately reject Him for been righteous and peaceful. These ungodly people invited an imaginary god to deceive the people with and to achieve their politic and evil personal objectives.

Do we have to kill a person that persuades us to worship the wrong god? No, we don't have to kill because God Yahweh prohibits us to kill in His Ten Commandments. However, the Torah commands the Jews to kill anyone that persuades them to worship strange god. It is true that there are contradictions in these two commandments. God doesn't make mistake, so who did it, why, and when.

For more information, refer to page "Ishmael and Isaac" and page "Crimes in the name of God".

The passage reads: [6 If thy brother the son of thy mother, or thy son, or daughter, or thy wife that is in thy bosom, or thy friend, whom thou love as thy own soul, would persuade thee secretly, saying: Let us go, and serve strange gods, which thou knowest not, nor thy fathers, 7 Of all the nations round about, that are near or afar off, from one end of the earth to the other, 8 Consent not to him, hear him not, neither let thy eye spare him to pity and conceal him, 9 But thou shalt presently put him to death. It Let thy hand be first upon him, and afterwards the hands of all the people. 10 With stones shall he be stoned to death: because he would have withdrawn thee from the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage: 11 That all Israel hearing may fear, and may do no more any thing like this, Deuteronomy 13:6 to 11. ]

1 - The Torah

The Torah is the Law that God inspired His Prophet Moses with. The Torah is the first five books of the bible.

The books are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

In the beginning, God stated one law to Adam only in the Garden of Eden before He created Adam's wife. God prohibited Adam to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Genesis 2:16 to 17. There were no other laws beside the forbidden tree. Adam's wife knew about this law through Adam. However, God punished Adam and his wife for that transgression, Genesis 3:13 to 24.

The son of Adam Cain killed his brother Abel. God cursed Cain for killing his brother. The Torah indicates one law, which is the forbidden tree; however, God cursed Cain for a crime that wasn't warned to commit. God prohibited killing a human being after the flood of Noah, Genesis 9:5 to 6. Therefore, I question, why God punished Cain for a crime that wasn't in the law, before Noah's era? Genesis 4:11. Unless there are many passages missing from the book of Genesis that concern God's Law to human being. Refer to the end to read scripture.

The passage reads: [5 For I will require the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man, and of his brother, will I require the life of man. 6 Whosoever shall shed man's blood, his blood shall be shed: for man was made to the image of God, Genesis 9:5 to 6.

However, this passage contains violence and revenge, it means God is requesting blood for blood, which means revenge in the same way instead punishment to discipline to achieve perfection. Did God really issue such violent and revenge, which contradicts other passages that commands peace and forgiveness in the same book?

I also question why God killed the people that He created through the flood during Noah's era. The Torah indicates God's first covenant with Adam was concerning the tree of knowledge, and the second covenant was after the flood, which was about prohibiting killing a human being. There were no other covenants beside those that were issued before the flood. Unless there are many passages missing from the book of Genesis that concern God's Law to human being.

The book of Genesis reads: [11 And the earth was corrupted before God, and was filled with iniquity. 12 And when God had seen that the earth was corrupted (for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth,) 13 He said to Noe = (Noah): The end of all flesh is come before me, the earth is filled with iniquity through them, and I will destroy them with the earth,] Genesis 6:12 to 13.

However, why God had destroyed all these people without given them His Law before He flooded the earth? The passage reads after the flood: [For I will require the blood of your lives at the hand of every beast, and at the hand of man, at the hand of every man, and of his brother, will I require the life of man. 6 Whosoever shall shed man's blood, his blood shall be shed: for man was made to the image of God, Genesis 9:5 to 6.]

After the flood, Noah built an altar and sacrificed animals to God according to the Law, Genesis 8:20. I find it strange for Noah to sacrifice clean animals according to the law. However, the book of Genesis doesn't indicate the chart about the clean and the unclean animal' law during Noah and Abraham's era. This law was issued during Moses' era only, unless the book of Genesis is missing many passages about God's Law before and after the flood. Refer to the end to read scripture.

Then, God stated His Law concerning the circumcision to Abraham, Genesis 17:9 to 10. Then, God announced the rest of His Law to Moses, which is written in the book of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Refer to the end to read scripture.

2 - God's Law

Are you a lawless person, if you are, you must repent, Jesus says: [21 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity = (lawlessness), Matthew 7:21 to 23.]

God's Law "the Torah" contains 613 components. Some of these commandments contain violent commandments, which command the believers to kill certain people to overcome their lands. Some of those commandments command the believers to kill those that try to deceive them by false religion or through false god.

The passage reads: 6 If thy brother the son of thy mother, or thy son, or daughter, or thy wife that is in thy bosom, or thy friend, whom thou lovest as thy own soul, would persuade thee secretly, saying: Let us go, and serve strange gods, which thou knowest not, nor thy fathers, 7 Of all the nations round about, that are near or afar off, from one end of the earth to the other, 8 Consent not to him, hear him not, neither let thy eye spare him to pity and conceal him, 9 But thou shalt presently put him to death. It Let thy hand be first upon him, and afterwards the hands of all the people. 10 With stones shall he be stoned to death: because he would have withdrawn thee from the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage: 11 That all Israel hearing may fear, and may do no more any thing like this, Deuteronomy 13:6 to 11.

God is our heavenly Father; He supplies our needs, cares about us, and guides us to dwell in righteousness. God created everything on this planet earth, heavens, and all universes. God the creator is the God of all mankind, “He isn’t God of Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac only”; He is above all gods.

God is Love, and His Law is Love as well. God’s Law isn’t a curse. The law that commands you to kill isn’t of God’s Law.

Did God and Moses announce violent commandments in the Torah? Who did it and what the motive was? The peaceful God that Jesus spoke of doesn't command His people to kill one another. If the peaceful God command us NOT TO KILL, how the same God could command us to kill through the same Torah? Are there any differences between the peaceful God that Jesus spoke of and the violent God of the Torah? Why there is a different between the God that Jesus spoke of and the God of the Torah? Jesus spoke about the same God that spoke to Moses. If Jesus spoke about the God that spoke to Moses in the Torah peacefully during his era, why the same God has violent character in the Torah in our era? Are we reading the same Torah that Jesus spoke of?

Do religions aim for peace or for violent?

If God command you to kill for him and in His name, do you have to obey His Commandments?

Are you really searching for peaceful God?

Did you find the real God that aims for peace?

Are you really worshipping the same God that Jesus spoke of? 

If Jesus spoke about the peaceful Torah, why the Torah and the koran = (quran) contain violent?

Are we really worshipping the God that love to see us judging and killing each other? Jesus Christ preached love, unity, and forgiveness. Jesus confirms in his gospel the divinity of God Yahweh and His Law the Torah also. Jesus commanded us to obey God's Law fully and prohibited us to revenge and to kill. If the Torah that existed during Jesus' era contain violent, Jesus wouldn't have commanded us to obey it and to obey his peaceful commandments in the same time. Therefore, we are questioning if God and His Law that Jesus spoke of is the same God and the same Law "Torah" that exist in the bible that we are reading in the twentieth first century?

Are we really reading the actual Torah that Moses spoke in God's name? Are we reading the actual Torah that Jesus obeyed and commanded us to obey as well?

No, we aren't reading the actual Torah that Jesus spoke of.

Yes, we are worshipping the same God Yahweh. However, religions and politics deformed God's precious Word of the Torah and Jesus' gospel also. Many religions [religious] copied some of the violent commandments that are in the Torah, which command to kill in the name of God and allah.

3 - Sufer Torah:

Sufer Torah ספר תורה, (in plural ספרי תורה, Sifrei Torah); "Book/s of Torah" or "Torah Scroll/s was written by hand. It is stored in the holiest place of the Synagogue, which called “Aron Kodesh”; it could be placed in a covered cabinet with fabric curtain. The Torah is commonly printed in codex form, known as a Humash "five"; it means the five books of Moses.

The Talmud calculates the numerical value of the Hebrew word "Torah" as 611. Moses' 611 commandments or components, combined with the two components that were spoken directly by God, which makes them 613 mitzvot. The garment with tzitzit contains 613 strains according to 613 commandments or components of the Torah.

God's Ten commandments are the title of His Law, which contains 613 components ="Mitzvot", Torah's Mitzvot. However, those 613 components were assembled and edited by men, not by God; because some of those commandments contain violent, which contradict God's Word.

Torah’s reading is usually reserved for Shabbat; daily Torah's reading is on Mondays, Thursdays, and during holidays.

The Torah is kept inside silver box; or it could be covered by fabric and placed inside curtained cabinet also. During reading, the Torah is controlled by two wooden "yad" = (Etiz Chayim handles. Introduction of a new sufer Torah in synagogue is often accompanied by celebration, dancing, singing, and praying. Dancing was preformed before the Ark of the Covenant as well when the Ark existed. The Ark of the Covenant disappeared away before Jesus. The bible last mentioned about the Ark of the Covenant was during the prophet Jeremiah = (Jeremias). The Palestinians stole the Ark during David's era; however, the Palestinians had to return the Ark because they were dying of  the power that the ark proceeded. For more information about the Ark, refer to page "Ark of the Covenant".

Scribes:

The Scriber of the Torah should not use any metal tools as pen to write. The metal tools could be used to make the silver box that covers the Torah only. Torah contains 304,805 letters, which must be duplicated precisely by a trained scriber, which takes about 18 months to complete a Scroll. Most modern Torah is written in forty two lines of text per column; Yemenite Jews use fifty. The fidelity of the Hebrew text of the Tanakh, and the Torah in particular, is considered paramount, down to the last letter.

For more information about the Torah's scribes, refer to page "Torah and Jesus' gospel" and "Ishmael and Isaac"

Materials:

The materials that are permitted to use for the Sufer Torah are klaf and gevil. There are three types of processed animal’s skin: gevil, Klaf Qlaf or K'laf, and duchsustos. They are used for the production of a mezuzah, megillah, tefillin, and Sufer Torah ="Torah scroll". The Sufer Torah that is written on doksostus is not considered kosher.

External decorations:

The Sefer Torah is covered with ornamental breastplates, or protective fine fabric (Mantle), and a crown on the top of both Etiz Chayim. The metalwork of the silver box as you see on the top image often made of beaten silver. Printed versions of the Torah are known as a Chumash. They are considered the Word of God in texts but not sacred accorded as the Sufer Torah.

During reading, the Torah is controlled by two wooden "yad" = (Etiz Chayim handles.

The Ark of the Covenant contains God's Ten Commandments. The ceremonial law were place next to the Ark of the covenant, not inside the ark.

For more information about the Ark, refer to page "Ark of the Covenant"

The garment with tzitzit contains 613 strains according to 613 commandments or components of the Torah. 

For more information about the Torah and the bible, refer to page "Ishmael and Isaac".

4 - References from the bible concerning God's Law

[16 And he commanded him, saying: Of every tree of paradise thou shalt eat: 17 But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat. for in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death, Genesis 2:16 to 17.]

[13 And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived men, and I did eat. 14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because thou hast done this thing, thou art cursed among all cattle, and the beasts of the earth: upon thy breast shalt thou go, and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. And the Lord God said to the serpent: 15 I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. 16 To the woman also he said: I will multiply thy sorrows, and thy conceptions: in sorrow shalt thou bring forth children, and thou shalt be under thy husband's power, and he shall have dominion over thee. 17 And to Adam he said: Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat, cursed is the earth in thy work; with labour and toil shalt thou eat thereof all the days of thy life. 18 Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou eat the herbs of the earth. 19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return to the earth, out of which thou wast taken: for dust thou art, and into dust thou shalt return. 20 And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was the mother of all the living. 21 And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife, garments of skins, and clothed them. 22 And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever. 23 And the Lord God sent him out of the paradise of pleasure, to till the earth from which he was taken. 24 And he cast out Adam; and placed before the paradise of pleasure Cherubims, and a flaming sword, turning every way, to keep the way of the tree of life, Genesis 3:13 to 24.

[And Noe = (Noah) built an altar unto the Lord: and taking of all cattle and fowls that were clean "according to the Law", offered holocausts upon the altar, Genesis 8:20.]

[9 Again God said to Abraham: And thou therefore shalt keep my covenant, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 10 This is my covenant which you shall observe, between me and you, and thy seed after thee: All the male kind of you shall be circumcised, Genesis 17:9 to 10.

5 - Religions lead to violence

Protestant Christians kill the Catholic Christians in Northern Island (England) in the names of religions.

Why the moslems = (muslims) are killing each other in Iraq in the name of religion?

----------------------------------------

Conclusion:

I believe the original Torah is God's peaceful Word and it doesn't contain any violent commandments.

Moses didn't command the people to kill false prophets and ungodly people in the name of God. God is capable to kill them without letting His people committing such crimes. 

If we are worshiping the god of religion that commands us to kill people, it means we are worshipping the wrong god, not God the Creator.
