And that's where the confusion is. The "Law" is not the 613 Mitzvoth or blessings of G-d. The "Law" is the Law of sin and death and that's what Paul's talking about in Romans 8:2. So don't get yourself all messed up with that because it's a bad situation.

Now what I'd like to do is read to you some of the laws, these "terrible things" that you call the law that are actually Mitzvoth. Now, let me give you a prayer - Boruch arta Adonoi, Elohanu, Melech ho olam, asher kidashonu ba mitzvah sov vitzivonu" - listen to it, asher kidashonu. "Kidashonu" is blessing. Ba mitzvoth - "mitzvoth" is blessing or commandments but it's a commandment that's a blessing - and then asher kidashonu ba mitzvah sov vitzavonu - "mitzvah" is commandment.

So actually, what it says is, "Blessed art Thou oh L-rd, our G-d, King of the Universe, who blesses us with His commandments that are blessings and commands us."

He commands us to be blessed. Commands us to wrap ourselves in the Tzitzith. Commands us to light the Sabbath Candles. The things that G-d commands us to do are His blessings. If we do them, we're blessed. If we don't do them, we're not blessed. It's that easy. You do what G-d says and everything's fine.

Now, I'm going to read these things to you that pertain to today's people in today's world. Some of them don't even apply to us unless we're in the land of Israel. Others don't apply to us because there is no longer a Temple, and still more do not apply to us unless you are a farmer. OK, here is:

1. To believe there is a G-d in existence. Did you hear me? To believe there is a G-d in existence.

2. To know the unity of the blessed G-d, to believe with complete faith that He is One without any partner or associate. In other words, the Sh'ma. Now understand something here. This is what everybody thinks is "the Law." I don't know two Christians that have any idea what the 613 Mitzvoth are. Let me give them to you:

3. To love the Blessed G-d with all one's heart and spirit and might.

4. To fear HaShem (the Name).

5. To sanctify HaShem openly.

6. To walk in the ways of the Blessed G-d with all one's ability.

7. To pray every day to the Blessed G-d.

8. To make tassels - Tzitzith at the corners of your garments.

11. To recite the Sh'ma morning and evening.

12. To affix a M'zuzah at the entrance of the home.

13. To say the blessing of the grace before or after meals, after eating bread.

14. To learn Torah and to teach it.

15. That everyone in Israel - and when they're talking Israel here, let's say "Jewry" instead of "Israel" because it's not the people in the land of Israel it's speaking of. it refers to Jewry, people that are of the Abrahamic Covenant - that everyone in the Abrahamic Covenant should write a Torah scroll for himself.
