5. Conclusion Eternal Israel’s duties in the preservation of the Law, the application of the Law and in identifying the authentic teachers of the Law are not within the capacity of mere humans. The persecutions that our nation suffered carried more than enough earthly power to obliterate us from the face of the planet. Our physical survival is nothing short of a miracle. How much more so is this true concerning the inheritance with which we were entrusted. The oppression that our nation endure

4. Identifying the Teachers of the Law This brings us to the final function that Eternal Israel performs in relation to the Law, namely the identification of her leaders. The teachers of the Law serve as a crucial component in Israel’s relationship with the Law.

These leaders guide Eternal Israel in dispensing her duty in the realm of preservation of the Law. It is these l

3. The Application of the Law Together, the books of scripture, the living teaching process, practical observance and the Rabbinic decree enabled the nation to discharge her duty in the preservation of the Law. In addition to preservation of the Law, the nation’s duty towards the Law includes the practical application of the Law as well as identifying the leaders and teachers of the Law.

2. Preservation of the Law Israel’s duty towards the Law includes the preservation of the Law, the application of the Law and the recognition of the true teachers of the Law. Each of these can be broken down into subcategories, and as it is with any living entity, each of its elements is interconnected with every other element. Israel’s charge to preserve the Law for future generations can be divided along the lines of static and living, or letter and spirit. There are static, unchanging units

A. The Role of the Nation The role of the nation in relation to the Law is complex and multifaceted. It is the role of the nation to preserve the Law and her spirit for future generations.

THE LAW AND THE CHOSENNESS OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE Introduction Let us now move on to the subject of the Law. Here too, God spares no words in emphasizing the centrality of the Law in our relationship with Him. Abraham was chosen because of his obedience to God’s voice (Genesis 26:5). The chosen-ness of Israel centers on our obedience to the commandments (Deuteronomy 26:18). Obedience to the Law is equated with life (Deuteronomy 30:30), with good and righteousness (Deuteronomy 6:24), and with ete

G. Conclusion In summation we can state that the underlying theme of all scripture is that God is God and that everyone and everything else are but His creations. The most important line in the universe is the one that stands between Creator and created. The foundation of our relationship with God is recognition of this truth. Every sentence in scripture is written with the purpose of bringing this truth home to us. By attributing divinity to a created being, Christianity has denied the essent
