A collection and explanation of the laws found in the Old Testament.

Cradle to Paradise exposes the Laws of Yahweh, blessed be He. It is a 613 coded do's and don'ts from the basis which are Ten Words / Commandments, Statutes and Judgments. It received attention from the people of old to keep with Moses as the main expounder while Abraham and his sons - Isaac and Jacob as the prime Performers. Yahsha Messiah, Our Savior was also obedient to the Law as He serves as its perfection in the transfiguration story in Matt. 17:1-3. The Most High and Israelites had contract based on these Laws which also included both the earthly and spiritual land acquisitions. With this Torah given to Israelites as a heritage, the modern church and indeed the secular world of Christendom are seen to be entirely Hebraic in origin hence they will need to go back to base.

The bestselling author of The Know-It-All takes on history's most influential book.

From the acclaimed New American Commentary Studies in Bible & Theology series, a book examining the ancient and modern significance of each of the Ten Commandments.

Most scholars believe that the numerous similarities between the Covenant Code (Exodus 20:23-23:19) and Mesopotamian law collections, especially the Laws of Hammurabi, which date to around 1750 BCE, are due to oral tradition that extended from the second to the first millennium. This book offers a fundamentally new understanding of the Covenant Code, arguing that it depends directly and primarily upon the Laws of Hammurabi and that the use of this source text occurred during the Neo-Assyrian period, sometime between 740-640 BCE, when Mesopotamia exerted strong and continuous political and cultural influence over the kingdoms of Israel and Judah and a time when the Laws of Hammurabi were actively copied in Mesopotamia as a literary-canonical text. The study offers significant new evidence demonstrating that a model of literary dependence is the only viable explanation for the work. It further examines the compositional logic used in transforming the source text to produce the Covenant Code, thus providing a commentary to the biblical composition from the new theoretical perspective. This analysis shows that the Covenant Code is primarily a creative academic work rather than a repository of laws practiced by Israelites or Judeans over the course of their history. The Covenant Code, too, is an ideological work, which transformed a paradigmatic and prestigious legal text of Israel's and Judah's imperial overlords into a statement symbolically countering foreign hegemony. The study goes further to study the relationship of the Covenant Code to the narrative of the book of Exodus and explores how this may relate to the development of the Pentateuch as a whole.

Has Gods Law, as defined by the Ten Commandments, been done away, as has been supposed by many? Does the new covenant allow free picking and choosing? Does the fourth commandment not matter anymore, or did God change the sabbath to another day? Are Christmas and Easter Gods holy days? Does grace make the Law unnecessary? Is it okay to erect a sun god statue and other images in our nation to represent liberty? Is God okay with the popular sexual lifestyles our nations Christian-professing people have? Should true Christians be pro-war? Is it okay to live richly on credit when one is only able to pay the interest? It is time for our nation to repent and turn back to our liberty-giver, the true God of Israel. Gods Law of Love is needed for liberty to thrive. The Ten Commandments still apply today. Find the thorough answers to the questions above and more within the pages of this book.
