The Torah apparent contradiction reflects different contexts and legal frameworks within the Torah common law legal system. Sh’mote 20:5 refers to a key concept of the oath brit accepted at Sinai; Torah curses based upon the 10 plagues Par’o and Egypt endured. A direct fundamental Torah commandment for all Jews to remember the judicial injustice which the Egyptian slavery eternally recalls within the hearts of the chosen people who alone accept the Torah revelation to this day.
The 2nd verse from משנה תורה which Goyim refer to as Deuteronomy, the Greek word meaning “second law,” utterly fails – perhaps purposely attempts to conceal – this Book as meaning “Common Law”. The Hebrew name, contained within the very language of this Book משנה תורה mandates powers of “Legislative Review” to the Great Sanhedrin Federal Court in Jerusalem.
In rabbinic literature, this issue – addressed extensively. For instance, the Mekhilta de-Rabbi Ishmael (a midrash on Sh’mote) and later commentators like Rashi interpret Devarim 24:16 as applying specifically to human courts and judicial proceedings, where individual accountability, enforced without intergenerational punishment. This leaves room for divine judgment, as in Shmot 20:5, to operate on a broader, providential level—potentially through natural consequences of sin rippling across generations, or only when descendants continue in those sins. Targum Onkelos, explicitly qualifies the verse by adding that punishment falls on “rebellious children” who “follow their fathers in sinning,” a reading echoed in Rashi’s commentary to avoid grammatical or theological strain. Similarly, some rabbinic sources distinguish between intentional rebellion against G-d (where collective impact might apply) and other transgressions, viewing the texts as complementary rather than conflicting.
The Xtian framers of their “Old Testament” substitute theology and revisionist history prioritize belief in theology as religious faith rather than the Torah vision only for the chosen Cohen people who alone accept the revelation of the Torah; faith defined as the righteous pursuit of judicial Sanhedrin court room common law justice which has the power to not only veto laws imposed by Executive Authority/Powers such as a king, but re-write that statute law based upon precedents established court-room Common law.
A proof precedent gleaned from the separate Goyim NT which has no portion nor shared authority with the Hebrew T’NaCH, their Apostle Paul declared to Goyim: “they are not under the Law” in Galatians 3:24; he claimed that Goyim belief in the NT false messiah JeZeus had replaced the law. This declaration has no legal Torah precedent. In point of fact, halachic common law as codified in the Talmud, based upon the Torah mandate which establishes Sanhedrin Federal common law courtrooms has jurisdiction only when Jews rule the oath sworn lands with political Independence. This condition did not exist in the lifetime of the NT Apostle Paul who lived during Roman rule and occupation of Judea. Furthermore Paul’s writings fail to distinguish the day vs. night obvious differences – gulf – which separates Torah common law from Roman Statute Law.
Galatians 3:24: Paul’s distinction that Goyim are “not under the Law” introduces a theological shift that many believe undermines the continuity with Jewish law. His perspective arose during the tensions of Roman rule, impacting the context of his writings. By juxtaposing Galatians 3:24 against Romans 6:14: “not under the Law but under grace”, Paul switches the narrative away from Torah common law courts to a Xtian theology/religious belief system. Where the Church prioritizes “Grace” – the 5th Oral Torah revelation at Horev to Moshe on Yom Kippur 40 days after the sin of the Golden Calf where assimilated and intermarried Israelites “substituted” the word-name אלהים for the Holy Spirit Name revealed in the first Sinai Commandment.
The revelation of the Torah at Sinai forever separates the Divine Names earlier employed in the Book of בראשית/Genesis. Those Divine Names such as אל, האל, אלהים, אל שדי express a vision of God in the Heavens. Whereas the Sinai revelation permanently changes this narrative לא בשמים היא that the spirits of the Divine Presence revelation as further clarified and defined by the 13 Oral Torah middot revelation where Grace functions as the 5th attribute of the Holy Spirit Name revealed at Sinai! Acceptance of the revelation of the Torah caused these 13 tohor Divine Spirits to live within the Yatzir Tov hearts of the chosen Cohen people alone for all eternity.
The NT by stark contrast JeZeus instructs his disciples to pray to “their father in heaven”. While the Pauline theology’s substitute theology replaces Torah common law faith unto Grace & JeZeus as messiah. This substitution of religious theology for Torah common law courts radically shifts the narrative – on par with the Aramaic declaration “Abracadabra”, where a magician pulls a rabbit out of his hat! The later Church priests declared the Oral Torah as non existent while declaring Xtian believers under Grace and not under Law. An obviously absurd declaration seeing that all societies and civilizations without law fall into chaos anarchy Tower of Bavel like Civil War.
The Oral Torah 13 middot serve to define the Divine Presence Spirit Name revealed in the first Sinai commandment which affixes the life of this Holy Spirit within the Yatzir Ha-Tov of the chosen Cohen people living on this Earth and not in the Heavens as the prayer of JeZeus instructs his believers how to pray.
Heaven and Earth separates Torah judicial justice as faith where the middot Spirits of HaShem live within the Yatzir Ha-Tov hearts of the chosen Cohen people who live on this Earth, from church theological substitution beliefs that JeZeus sits on Mt Olympus together with his Father in Heaven. A gulf so huge that only Jefferson’s Constitutional First Amendment which separates Church from State – even remotely comparable! Jefferson’s principle emphasizes that governance should not be unduly influenced or dictated by religious doctrine, similar to how Jewish practice operates within its own legal and ethical framework, independent of external theologies.
Bottom line: Torah judicial common law only applicable to when Torah blessings cause Israel to stand as an Independent nation, such as the two Wars of Independence fought in 1948 and again in 1967 achieved. G’lut exiled Jewry – despised refugee populations scattered across the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe past Russia – Christ Killer Cain Jews – have no rights nor authority to impose judicial common law courts, and even less authority to have prophets enforce those judicial rulings through prophetic mussar in any foreign land where Goyim despise and abhor Jews as sub-humans only fit for Shoah extermination.
The Jewish legal tradition is built on din, middah k’neged middah judicial authority of justice. Xtianity historically framed Jews through theological polemic, supersessionism, and later political power. The brit at Sinai binds Israel, not humanity. Torah law not a NT revisionist history universal religion. Torah as Constitutional law draws a sharp border boundary beween theological av tuma avoda zarah.
Xtian theology, from its earliest layers, contains supersessionist ancient Greek static deductive logic and actually denies Talmudic inductive logic as existing at all! Their poemic “Old Covenant” portrayed as replaced and fulfilled. The Jewish people are reinterpreted as spiritually obsolete. The authority of Torah law, Xtian rhetoric propaganda frames as bondage or curse. The Church becomes the new Israel. This substitute replacement theology along with its false messiah JeZeus – embedded in the foundational texts of its foreign alien traditions – Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Mormon etc. Enshrined through Roman imperial Xtianity, medieval canon law restrictions, accusations of deicide, forced disputations, expulsions, pogroms, public Talmudic book burnings, three Century Ghetto-gulag war crimes, all of which served as precedents for the Xtian Europe Shoah.
The gulf between Torah jurisprudence and Xtian theology is so vast that only a Jeffersonian separation of church and state is comparable. Xtianity – a universal salvific theology. A gross lie to declare this av tuma Torah abomination of avoda zara as “a daughter religion”. This same din equally applies to the av tuma Koran abomination of avoda zarah.
Torah = constitution, law, national identity, land, courts, sovereignty. The latter day Goyim religions = belief, salvation, universalism, metaphysics, grace, false prophesy. The latter exist on a completely different separate axis than does Constitutional law first established through the Torah and later through the current Constitution of the United States. Herein explains why Paul’s statements about “not being under the Law”, not merely theological disagreements — they represent a complete redefinition of what “common law,” “Torah brit which eternally creates through wisdom commandment/time oriented mitzvot,” and “faith” even mean.
Torah judicial common law only functions when Israel rules in sovereign national Independence. Xtian theology developed when the Romans had utterly destroyed and up rooted Jews living in Judea and scattered across the face of the Planet – starting with the non Jew Herod appointed as king over Judea.
Better to exist as Herod’s dog than be a violently murdered son or wife of that maniac. Post Shoah the power dynamic reversed, Xtianity wears the shoes of exile; the EU when it attempted to write a Constitution made not a single reference to the church which formed and shaped Xtiandom from Constatine till Pope Pius XII ally and partner of Hitler.
Justice in Torah simply and only juridical, Constitutional, and reciprocal—rooted in concrete obligations, not abstract theological Creed based belief systems. If justice – blind, a famous metaphor, then Judges who prioritize their “Ego I” over “eye witness testimony” directly “fulfill” to the Torah negative commandment against bribery.
False prophet attempts to include all Humanity in the Sinai revelation which all Goyim to this very day absolutely and most fundamentally reject – they define the k’vanna of the Golden Calf as it “Universally” applies to all Man Kind. Canon law as alien to Torah common law as the two false prophet based “Daughter Religions”. Both theological belief systems stand now in exile post Shoah.
UN blood libel slanders which unilaterally declare dhimmi Arab stateless refugees post the Arab defeats in 1948 and 1967; which attempt to determine the borders of the Jewish state as if it remained a League of Nations protectorate territory; nations who presume that they have the right to determine the Capital City of the Jewish state as well as a non existent Palestinian people and state as vile and corrupt as the blood libels and host desecrations slanders of the Middle Ages. Both the ’48 & ’67 Wars Arab leaders vowed to throw the Jews into the Sea and complete the Nazi Shoah!
The statement that classical Judaism does not assert that the Divine Presence dwells exclusively in Jews, but inclusive to Goyim as well. Ontologically (A branch of metaphysics philosophy which addresses the nature of being, existence, and the reality of entities.) Goyim excluded from the Torah oath-brit – simply because the Talmud instructs that both Esau and Yishmael refused to accept the Torah. The assimilated and addicted to Greek philosophy, no different from the Tzeddukim during the Hanukkah Civil War, the post sealing of the Sha’s Bavli, Spanish Reshonim – Rambam at their head – ruled that mesechta Sanhedrin aggadic portion 56–59, and Avodah Zarah 64b – Gere toshav operable only when the Yovel in force. The Sha’s Bavli written and compiled after the Roman destruction and exile of Jews from Judea. The Romans renamed that captured province “Palestine”. The Rambam statute law code by contrast ruled that the Talmudic language “bnai Noach” applied Universally to all Goyim – based upon his avoda zara belief that the revelation of HaShem at Sinai – an Allah Universal God. Consequently Rambam erroneously ruled that Jews could daven in Mosques!
Violation of the 7 mitzvot by “gere toshav” residents qualifies as a Talmudic Capital Crime which requires a Sanhedrin Court to impose the death penalty upon such a criminal. Obviously since the Sanhedrin court only has jurisdiction restricted to the borders of an Independent Jewish state in Judea, then the 7 mitzvot bnai noach cannot and do not apply Universally as the Rambam erroneously poskined.
An Israeli today, who commits a capital-offense: not bound by that Sanhedrin common law because the vision of Zionism has yet to mature and inspire a commitment to restoration of Sanhedrin common law courts as the “LAW” of the land. A Jew today can publicly chilul Shabbat without any legal obligations. The language of Rambam (Hil. Melakhim 8:11), resembles that of the Apostle Paul! Greek metaphysics concealed like a wolf dressed in sheep clothing.
Modern legal positivism – sovereignty based theories of law – closely resembles the vision of Talmudic common law courts; to serve as the model when Jews reconquer our homelands from the Goyim. G’lut beit din courts fail to delegate on of the three judges as prosecutor another as defence where both present opposing Talmudic common law precedents, a debates as which precedent qualify as closer to the current case heard before “this” ideal g’lut Torts court of damages. The aggadic story of Noach no more binding upon Goyim today than aggada determines halachah. Only the Rambam among Reshonim scholars held that aggadita determines halacha. The Rambam opinion which argues that Islam denies corporeality, & multiplicity in divinity – absolute narishkeit. Montheism violates the 2nd Sinai commandment based upon the 10 plagues which judged the Gods of Egypt and the sworn oath cut at Sh’Cem prior to the wars to conquer the kingdoms of Canaan who worshipped still other and different God like Baal.
The Ramban in his commentary to the Chumash, Vayikra 18:25 and related passages (also Devarim 11:18), ruled that g’lut Jews only do mitzvot to remember that Torah mitzvot once existed. The first Sinai commandment, the language of Egypt describes all g’lut – in all generations. Henceforth g’lut Jews cannot observe the Torah לשמה, because they remain yet in “Egypt”. Mitzvot in galut merely & only rehearsed, so as not to forget. Hence Judaism replacement theology prioritizes religion no different than does Xtian and Muslim theologies.
Only while living in the oath sworn brit lands can Jews achieve National Independence and dedicate to rule these lands with righteous judicial justice, policed by prophetic mussar לשמה. The brit of blessings opposed by the brit of curses serves as the obligatory “book-ends” of the revelation of the Torah at Sinai.
The slide unto assimilation and intermarriage defines the k’vanna of the 2nd Sinai commandment, based upon the NaCH Book of Kings and Book of Ezra. The Rambam Greek metaphysical claim, not only not jurisdictional which the Torah requires, but worse! The Zohar kabbalah language of Shechina, bases itself upon the משל\נמשל revelation of the Mishkan which separates forms from substance. The substance of the Mishkan, that the tohor Oral Torah spirits define the Spirit first Commandment Name, and that these tohor spirits live only within the hearts of the Chosen Cohen people. The Rambam’s spirituality which makes the 7 mitzvot bnai noach aggadah applicable to all Goyim duplicates the Pauline propaganda rhetoric which did the exact same thing.
Ramban holds mitzvot in galut are only rehearsal. כדי שלא יהיו עלינו חדשים כשנחזור לארץ Therefore they are not truly לשמה because the curse of g’lut slaves can neither own property or rules as independent judges. G’lut courtrooms exist as vertical courts rather than Torah horizontal courts.
G’lut-Judaism transformed into “religion”, consequent to the collapses of the Roman road system and fear from robbers. As a consequence, virtually all inter-state travel ceased. Scattered Jewish communities, required a simplified version which clearly defined Jewish culture and customs to prevent Jewish assimilation and intermarriage. The Ramban in his מלחמת השם challenges the Baal Ha-Maor precisely on this need which justified the Rif codification of halacha.
The Rambam statute halachic code utterly rejected the B’HaG and Rif common law halachic codes which mirrored the Talmud as common law judicial Gemara halacha as legal precedent to interpret the language of the Mishna based upon different perspectives of courtroom eyewitness testimony. Hence, his alien Greek/Roman statute law code embraced Pauline and Islamic Universalism of Monotheistic Gods and abandoned the local Sinai god, as well as the compound “SIN” – the Rambam’s philosophy as recorded in his Moreh embraced Greek metaphysics just as his legal statute law code totally abandoned T’NaCH and Talmudic common law.
In point of fact, the Rambam’s Sefer HaMitzvot limits Torah commandments to the טיפש פשט literal reading of the words of the Chumash as Torah commandments. This negates the revelation of the Oral Torah at Sinai on par with the Karaim and Tzeddukim. Wisdom commandments/time-oriented mitzvot clearly inclusive of Talmudic halachic mitzvot as דאורייתא. His Yad code abomination destroys the warp/weft fabric of halacha\aggada through his absolute failure to include his sources of where his Gemara halachic rulings re-interpret the language of a precise and specific Mishna. The common law codes by stark contrast ALWAYS include the Primary Source Mishna. The later down stream commentaries thereafter likewise showed how Gemara halachic rulings make a משנה תורה – changed witness perspective which views the language of the Home Mishna from a completely different “facet” viewpoint.
An example of the Rambam טיפש פשט narishkeit stupidity. The Rambam in his introduction 14 shorashim whereby he defines what defines mitzvot as דאורייתא, he rebukes the B’HaG ruling that tefillah a Torah commandment! Yet in his 5th positive commandment he contradicts himself and rules that the mitzva of tefillah qualifies as a mitzva from the Torah. The Ramban conclusively proves that the language of the Shemone Esrei “tefillah” as דרבנן. What both Reshonim failed to grasp, that the first Mishna of ברכות teaches that kre’a shma – the mitzva of tefilla דאורייתא.
Another example: the mitzva of tefillen required to swear the Torah oath of kre’a shma. Tefilla requires swearing a Torah oath just as does the mitzva of קידושין another rabbinic commandment that if elevated to a wisdom commandment time-oriented mitzva makes an aliya to דאורייתא. The Reshonim failed to explicitly validate kre’a shma as tefillah from the Torah as they equally failed to emphasize the k’vanna of the Rashi tefillen affixed to the מקום קבועה of the oath sworn at Gilgal; while the Order of the Rabbeinu Tam tefillen affixed remembering the oath sworn at Sh’Cem. T’shuva requires remembering and not repentance for sin as Xtian avoda zara declares. The precedent for the Torah commandment for t’shuva, on Yom Kippur Jews “remember” that Moshe reminded HaShem of his oaths sworn to the Avot that they and they alone would father the chosen Cohen people.
The Baali Tosafot ruled that wisdom commandments/time-oriented mitzvot acquire full de’oraita status when performed with proper k’vanna (e.g., tefillah as d’oraita via kavanah, on Berachot 13a). The Rambam largely erases this critical nuance with his flat static halachic rulings, such as tefillin and tefillah. His code destroyed the facet-shifting logic of Mishna → Gemara → Mishneh Torah that mirrors courtroom precedent, as seen from the statute law super commentaries written thereafter. The impact effect: Rambam “flattens” the warp/weft of halacha/aggadah, converting the oath brit sworn obligations, procedural Talmudic fabric into a linear statute-like Greek/Roman code.
