Why keep the laws of Moses?

Why keep the laws of Moses?

This is a question I started to answer, but when I did a search on the internet and found that religion is the same as politics, say anything to win people to your ideas and your control. We are to search out the truth, execute justice and keep your hands from doing evil.

So where is the truth?  How can I know the truth?  Let's go back to the subject: Why keep the laws of Moses?

I will tell you that very few people of the earth will ever live beyond the little moment in time they call their life, spent in their dirt.

           --In reviewing this writing I see that the last line was cryptic. Please let me enlighten you. Your life , the one that is most valuable even to YOUR CREATOR, is not the breath in your lungs nor the beating of your heart, it is the Soul given during your creation. The dirt is where your body came from not so the SOUL. So, if you are unwilling to  be Righteous as defined by THE LORD, and written by the Hand of Moses, your existence will probably be only as long as the dirt survives.  Most people will not understand how important their choices are and what those choices will cost them, the life of their own soul. This is not speculation, it is fact.

Are you one that will save your soul?

Evidence

One piece here:
Isaiah 24:3 The earth shall be utterly emptied, and clean despoiled; for the LORD hath spoken this word. 4 The earth fainteth and fadeth away, the world faileth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do fail. 5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statute, broken the everlasting covenant. 6 Therefore hath a curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth waste away, and men are left few.

Verse 5, does not say 'Jews', 'Children of Israel', Catholics, Baptist, Muslims, Hindus, .... It says the INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH TRANSGRESSED Laws, Statue and Covenant(Contract) and the LORD has spoken the destruction of the earth. This is the second time, but not by water.

So my next question is: Where are you going to go to escape? No there is no salvation there! Not even off this world will save you. If you have faith that someone, anyone who is not you, can stand before THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE, THE CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, The GOD OF Abraham, GOD OF Isaac, GOD OF Jacob, and save you or your soul, . . . . . . You are wrong!  If you truly know differently, SHOW ME where the GOD MOST HIGH ever said HIS contracts or HIS WORD, HE VOIDS. Or On the witness of two(prophets proven to speak in the NAME OF THE MOST HIGH) in the TANAHK or Old Testament declare this is possible. Will the LIVING GOD OF ISRAEL forget or not uphold HIS Covenants? "I Will Break MY Covenant!"

Maybe your question is "Does GOD Exist?" and you will find other writings there.

What must I do to be Righteous?

Isaiah has a concise answer again, although he is not the only one to explain this.

Isaiah 56:1 Thus saith the LORD: Keep ye justice, and do righteousness; for My salvation is near to come, and My favour to be revealed. 2 Happy is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast by it: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

That was short and concise. Do justice, be righteous, keep the Seventh Day (Sabbath) Holy, keep your hands from any evil.

Where can I know what Justice is, or learn to be Righteous? What profanes the Sabbath?  What is Evil?

The basic Laws are given in Exodus Chapter 20 through 23. They are also given in Deuteronomy. These are the start, but remember GOD'S in the first Isaiah quote:" . . . . transgressed the laws, violated the statute, broken the everlasting covenant . . . ."  This is explained in the Writings Of Moses = Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. The prophets of the Tanakh(Old Testament) never changed the word GOD command Moses to write. Those prophets give a view from a different direction of the same events. This is as is must be because the Numbers entry below.

There is ONLY ONE GOD, and HE is outside of time, and know every movement of  HIS CREATION.

Can you be saved? Yes. But You must change you actions and perform as Moses instructed.

Why keep the laws of Moses?  Who is Moses anyway? What is so important about Moses?

Short answer: GOD told Moses, Moses Wrote Them, GOD IS ANGRY when we don't do as HE said, Refers back to the Writings of Moses.

Numbers 12: 6 And He said: 'Hear now My words: if there be a prophet among you, I the LORD do make Myself known unto him in a vision, I do speak with him in a dream. 7 My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted in all My house; 8 with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD doth he behold; wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses?'

One more requirement, in seeking the truth go to that which is WRITTEN not the verbal. That which is written down does not change. We change it because we refuse to do it, not because it requires our input. If GOD was O.K. with our changing HIS WORD, HE would not declare Malachi 3:"22 Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances."

You have access to the WORD, to know what to do. You have a mind, ears and eyes, that you may understand and change, OR NOT.

I recommend that the links given are for the Chapters in the Tanahk, which should be read for context to the quotes. In this way you may understand the meaning of all you read and not be tricked with fancy words and word play.
