According to Jewish tradition, non-Jews were not commanded to accept the bulk of the Torah-laws.

There is a short list of laws which everyone is expected to keep:

not worshiping idols

not to murder

not to commit adultery or incest

not to curse God

not to steal

not to eat an animal before it is dead

and, for society as a whole: to maintain courts of law.

Moses' law was and is the covenant (the terms of God's covenant) with the Israelites. See (for example) Deuteronomy 26:17-19.

Was the second covenant the old testament or the New Testament?

God made many covenants in the Old Testament, but I assume you are speaking about the "New Covenant" vs the "Old Covenant" which God gave Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai. The "New Covenant" or second was mentioned in the Old Testament several times as a covenant which was yet future. The "New Covenant" started in the New Testament when Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary, was buried, and was resurrected the third day. The 'Old Covenant" was by Law and the "New Covenant" was by grace.

Who was the charge of tithing given to?

According to the Bible ancient Israel was commanded to tithe. Tithing was one of the commandments of the Mosaic Law (Law of Moses) which was the covenant (Old Testament) between ancient Israel and God.Tithing is not a part of New Testament Christianity. Nowhere in the Bible are Christians commanded to tithe. Tithing was replaced with voluntary giving and free-will offerings.Your Tithe Experthttp://thetithinghoax.com/


What is the Law of Abraham in the Bible?

The Law of Abraham in the Bible refers to the covenant made between God and Abraham, where Abraham was promised numerous descendants and that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky. This covenant is a central promise in the Old Testament and is seen as the foundation of the relationship between God and the Jewish people.


What is the punishment for not paying tithe?

According to the Bible ancient Israel was commanded to tithe. Tithing was one of the commandments of the Mosaic Law (Law of Moses) which was the covenant (Old Testament) between ancient Israel and God.There were 613 commandments Israel had to follow. There were a series of curses and blessings associated with the Mosaic Law. If Israel kept all the commandments they would be blessed. If they didn't follow all the commandments of the Mosaic Law, they would be cursed.Thus, any "punishments" associated with not paying tithes ONLY apply to ancient Israel. There is no punishment for not paying tithes. God/Bible does not command or require Christians to pay tithes.Your Tithe Experthttp:/www.thetithinghoax.com


Why is Jesus a religious leader?

The Creator of heaven and earth is God. God is the supreme God and it is He who started the nation of Israel and gave them His law to live by (The Law of Moses). This was the start of true religion. This Law of Moses is called the "Old Covenant" that God made with His people. About 2000 years ago God sent His Son, Jesus Christ to earth to die on the cross of Calvary, be buried, and resurrect the third day. This act of Jesus was to save mankind from their sins. (Something the Law could not do) This act of dying and resurrecting also ended the "Old Covenant" and began the "New Covenant". You will notice the Bible is in two parts. The Old Testament pertains to the "Old Covenant" and the New Testament pertains to the "New Covenant". Jesus Christ is not just a religious Leader, He is the ultimate Leader. John 14:6, Jesus tells us, " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. This tells us that Jesus is the only way to heaven. There is only one God and one Savior whereby men can be saved. God and Jesus are the same, the One God.

What is new covenant?

In Scripture a Covenant is a binding, usually written, guarantee provided by God to His people similar to a written Constitution as we know it today.In Christianity this guarantee or Constitution is called the New Covenant and it came into effect at the Last Supper "'this cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood." (Luke Ch.2The New Covenant: "Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant which they broke, though I was their husband, says the Lord. But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each man teach his neighbour and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."(Jeremiah Ch 31)In summary the New Covenant is a written guarantee that, from the time it came into effect, there will be no more intermediaries like Moses and the prophets and God again deals directly with each one of his people like He did at the beginning because the sin of Adam no longer applies.AnswerMandate of Israel: If you carefully note the target audience in Yirmiyahu, you'll notice that it is Israel that G-D is addressing. The New Covenant/Contract is supposed to superimpose Adonai's old covenant with Israel. It is still Israel who is going to be the owner of the other half of this New Covenant. Yeshua decreed this New Covenant on behalf of Israel during his last SEDER in his official capacity as the Christ/Maschiach of the Congregation/Kingdom of Israel.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
