Who is the One God whom is the Creator of the Universe? How is it that three of the world’s largest religions hold faith in the same book but understand and it differently? According to the story in the Torah, the foundational book of all the families of the Abrahamic Religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Our Creator gave moral directives to Adam and Eve,the first human beings. These divine protocols were repeated after the Flood when God reestablished the them along with the Rainbow Covenant with Noah adding the establishing of justice. These common and simple unifying principles unify humanity and create a moral and just world when followed correctly.
A moral and just society is dependent on observance of these as the Seven Universal Laws and in their correct context assists in creating a world where God can exist in harmony with his Creation and all people together in Unity.
Mankind is a multi-faceted society comprised of many different cultures united in the belief in One God. These seven universal directives contain the fundamental values that ensure a healthy and moral life.
Long before the children of Israel came into the eternal covenant of the Living God whom appeared to them in the wilderness of Sinai, our Creator revealed through the stories and testimonies of the Torah a basic code of moral conscious as a covenant to live by. This was and still is a code of conduct that insure all people to live in harmony between their Creator and each other.
According to biblical tradition as we read still today in the Book of Genesis of the Abrahamic family of religions, these first “laws” were given to Adam and Eve as divine monotheistic requirements to walk with God without shame.
God is One, the One God who is the Creator of the Universe. Beyond full understanding purposely. Do not profane this Oneness in any way. It is the only true concept we can have of a Divine Creator who has created all life with a purpose and us as we further understand. Every person should believe in the existence of the one and only Creator of the Universe.
Do not curse your Creator in anyway. God is holy , meaning set apart for this world but still apart of every aspect of it and bears witness to all of creation and every action of everyone. Each person must give respect to the Creator of the universe, who gave him life and a created world in which to live.
God originally created the human being as a composite being, both male and female, a whole person or one unit. Later, he then divided them to two separate entities, who are in need of each other in order to reach completeness. Sexuality is the foundation of creating a moral human society and as such the fountain of life which is SACRED not to be misused.
Be kind to all of God’s creatures and do not take them as food in an inhuman way. Respect all of Gods creatures.
Do not steal from others.
Do not murder or take the life of anyone for any reason. The value of human life is equal to life itself.
Establish courts of justice to restore harmony in the supernal order.
Without a constructive moral framework, humanity descends into violence and destruction, as exemplified by Cain’s murder of Abel (Genesis 4:8). Every nation has unique strengths and resources, yet no nation is self-sufficient. Without a Universal Ethical Common Code, people resort to war and oppression to obtain what they need. With such a code, nations engage in spiritual commerce and a race for virtue.
The First Commandment and the Seven Universal Laws of Living Light
• The first time the word “commandment” appears in the Bible is when Creator commanded Adam:
“And the Lord God commanded the man, saying: Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat.” (Genesis 2:16)
This verse alludes to the seven universal laws that form the foundation of ethical behavior for all humanity. These laws reflect seven of the Ten later Commandments.
• These ethical principles were reaffirmed at Mount Sinai when Creator revealed Itself to the world, and our ancestors witnessed this divine event.
• The Jewish, Christian, Muslim and all monotheistic traditions recognize the divine revelation at Mount Sinai as a foundational moment in history.
• When Creator gave the Children of Israel the Torah, He provided an ethical standard for the entire world. This standard was known as the Seven Commandments of Noah, which form the basis of universal morality.
• When a person accepts the Seven Laws, they receive divine blessings:
1. A Neshama (Soul) – The soul that animates the body and connects a person to Creator
2. Righteous Among the Nations – A person who upholds these laws is considered righteous and honored before Creator.
3. A Share in the World to Come – Those who follow these principles merit a place in the hereafter.
