THE ROYAL LAW OF GOD
[The Correct English and Non-Legalistic Cult Version of the "La Ley Real" - AEMINPU of Peru}
THIS IS THE ROYAL LAW OF GOD: THE TEN COMMANDMENTS: (Jas. 2:8)
BY WHICH HE INSTRUCTS US ALL TO PERFORM /FULFILL AS CHRIST DID: (Deut. 4:13; 2 Cor. 3:3-9; 1 John 2:3-6; ROM. 8:3-4)
FIRST COMMANDMENT
YOU SHALL FEAR YHVH [YAH] YOUR GOD; YOU SHALL SERVE HIM AND CLING TO HIM, AND YOUR OATHS SHALL BE IN HIS NAME ALONE. JUSTICE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS YOU SHALL PURSUE, THAT YOU MAY LIVE, AND INHERIT THE LAND WHICH YHVH [YAH] YOUR GOD HAS GIVEN YOU. YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I YHVH [YAH] YOUR GOD AM HOLY. YOU SHALL LOVE YHVH [YAH] YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND ALL YOUR SOUL, AND ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH; THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREATEST COMMANDMENT.
SECOND COMMANDMENT
THE SECOND IS THIS, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. THERE IS NO OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE. A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE TO YOU, THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER, EVEN AS I HAVE LOVED YOU. BY THIS ALL MEN WILL KNOW THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES, IF YOU HAVE LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER. YOU SHALL NOT HATE YOUR BROTHER IN YOUR HEART, BUT SHALL SURELY REPROVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, AND NOT BEAR SIN BECAUSE OF HIM - [by not warning him]. YOU SHALL NOT TAKE VENGEANCE; NOR HOLD ANY GRUDGES AGAINST THE SONS OF YOUR PEOPLE BUT SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. EXECUTE TRUE JUDGMENT, AND SHOW MERCY AND COMPASSION TO ONE ANOTHER. YOU ARE TO LOVE ALL FOREIGNERS AMONG YOU, FOR YOU YOURSELVES WERE FOREIGNERS IN THE LAND OF EGYPT. YOU SHALL NOT MAKE ANY CUTS IN YOUR BODY FOR THE DEAD, NOR MAKE ANY TATTOO MARKS ON YOURSELF. I AM YHVH [YAH].
THIRD COMMANDMENT
I AM YHVH [YAH] YOUR GOD, WHO HAS BROUGHT YOU OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT (or worldliness), OUT OF THE HOUSE OF BONDAGE (or sin). YOU SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OTHER GODS, MAN, OR IDOLS BEFORE ME. YOU SHALL NOT MAKE UNTO YOURSELF ANY GRAVEN IMAGE, OR ANY LIKENESS OF ANYTHING THAT IS IN HEAVEN ABOVE, OR THAT IS IN THE EARTH BENEATH, OR THAT IS IN THE WATER UNDER THE EARTH. YOU SHALL NOT BOW DOWN TO THEM, NOR SERVE THEM; FOR I YHVH [YAH] YOUR GOD, AM A JEALOUS GOD, VISITING THE SINS OF THE FATHERS ON THE CHILDREN, TO THE THIRD AND THE FOURTH GENERATION OF THEM THAT HATE ME; AND SHOWING MERCY TO THOUSANDS OF THEM THAT LOVE ME, AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. YOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF YHVH [YAH] YOUR GOD IN VAIN; FOR YHVH [YAH] WILL NOT HOLD HIM GUILTLESS WHO TAKE HIS NAME IN VAIN.
FOURTH COMMANDMENT
REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, AND TO KEEP IT HOLY; AND YOU WILL FIND DELIGHT IN THE LORD. ON SIX DAYS YOU SHALL DO ALL YOUR WORK, BUT ON THE SEVENTH DAY, IT SHALL BE A SABBATH TO YHVH [YAH] YOUR GOD. ON IT YOU SHALL NOT DO ANY WORK, YOU, OR YOUR SON, OR YOUR DAUGHTER, YOUR MANSERVANT, OR YOUR MAIDSERVANT, OR YOUR CATTLE, OR THE STRANGER THAT IS WITHIN YOUR GATES. FOR IN SIX DAYS, YHVH [YAH] MADE THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, THE SEA, AND ALL THINGS THAT ARE IN THEM AND RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY. THEREFORE YHVH [YAH] BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY AND SANCTIFIED IT. THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SHALL KEEP THE SABBATH, AND CELEBRATE IT THROUGHOUT THEIR GENERATIONS AS A PERPETUAL COVENANT.
FIFTH COMMANDMENT
HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER, SO THAT YOUR DAYS MAY BE PROLONGED IN THE LAND WHICH YHVH [YAH] YOUR GOD HAS GIVEN YOU. FOR HE WHO CURSES HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER, HIS LAMP WILL GO OUT IN TIME OF DARKNESS. EVERY MAN SHALL FEAR HIS MOTHER AND FATHER. I AM YHVH [YAH] YOUR GOD. AND FATHERS, DO NOT PROVOKE YOUR CHILDREN TO ANGER BUT BRING THEM UP IN THE DISCIPLINE AND INSTRUCTION OF THE LORD, AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU DELIGHT TO YOUR SOUL.
SIXTH COMMANDMENT
YOU SHALL NOT MURDER. THIS YOU HAVE HEARD SAID TO THE PEOPLE LONG AGO, "FOR ANYONE WHO MURDERS [OR IS EVEN ANGRY WITH SOMEONE] WILL BE SUBJECT TO JUDGEMENT." [SO DO NOT SEEK TO AVENGE...], WHICH MAY CAUSE INNOCENT BLOOD TO BE SHED IN THE LAND, WHICH YHVH [YAH] YOUR GOD HAS GIVEN YOU AS AN INHERITANCE, THUS MAKING YOU YOURSELF GUILTY OF MURDER.
SEVENTH COMMANDMENT
YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, NOR LOOK AT A WOMAN LUSTFULLY; LEAST YOU COMMIT ADULTERY WITH HER IN YOUR HEART. DO NOT DEFILE YOUR DAUGHTER BY MAKING HER A PROSTITUTE WHICH WILL ENCOURAGE FORNICATION, OR THE LAND WILL TURN TO ALL KINDS OF IMMORALITY AND BE FILLED WITH WICKEDNESS. BUT BECAUSE OF IMMORALITY, EACH MAN SHOULD HAVE HIS OWN WIFE AND EACH WOMAN HER OWN HUSBAND; FOR IT IS FOR MAN TO LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, AND BE JOINED WITH HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH. DO NOT ARRANGE MARRIAGES WITH UNBELIEVERS, AND DO NOT TAKE THEIR DAUGHTERS FOR YOUR SONS AND THEIR SONS FOR YOUR DAUGHTERS FOR THEY WILL TURN YOUR CHILDREN AWAY FROM ME TO FOLLOW THEIR OWN GODS.
EIGHTH COMMANDMENT
YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, NOR DEAL FALSELY, OR LIE TO ONE ANOTHER. YOU SHALL NOT OPPRESS YOUR NEIGHBOR, NOR ROB HIM. WHOEVER STEALS FROM THEIR FATHER AND MOTHER AND SAYS, “IT IS NOT A SIN", IS A COMPANION OF A DESTROYER. THE WAGES OF A HIRED MAN ARE NOT TO BE KEPT WITH YOU TIL MORNING. YOU SHALL NOT CURSE THE DEAF, NOR PUT A STUMBLING BLOCK BEFORE THE BLIND, BUT YOU SHALL REVERE YOUR GOD; FOR I AM YHVH [YAH].
NINTH COMMANDMENT
YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBOR. LET NO ONE PLOT EVIL IN THEIR HEART AGAINST EACH OTHER, AND LOVE NOT THE FALSE OATH; FOR ALL THESE THINGS I HATE DECLARES YHVH [YAH]. DO NOT GO ABOUT SLANDERING OTHERS AMONG YOUR PEOPLE, NEITHER SHALL YOU STAND UP AGAINST THE LIFE OF YOUR NEIGHBOR: FOR I AM YHVH [YAH].
TENTH COMMANDMENT
YOU SHALL NOT COVET YOUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE. DO NOT LUST AFTER YOUR NEIGHBOR'S WIFE, OR WANT HIS MANSERVANT, OR HIS MAIDSERVANT, OR HIS OX, OR HIS DONKEY, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT BELONGS TO HIM, [BUT BE CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE].
FOR THE COMMANDMENT IS A LAMP; AND THE LAW LIGHT; AND THE WARNINGS FROM DISCIPLINE ARE THE WAY TO LIFE (PROV. 6:23). SO LEARN THEM, FOR THESE WORDS WHICH I AM ORDERING YOU TODAY, ARE TO BE ON YOUR HEART; AND YOU ARE TO TEACH THEM CAREFULLY TO YOUR CHILDREN. YOU ARE TO TALK ABOUT THEM WHEN YOU SIT AT HOME, WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING ON THE ROAD, WHEN YOU LIE DOWN AND WHEN YOU GET UP (DEUT. 6:6-7 - CJB version).
IF ANYONE COMES TO YOU AND DOES NOT BRING THIS TEACHING, FOUND IN JESUS CHRIST /YESHUA, DO NOT RECEIVE HIM IN YOUR HOME, DO NOT EVEN GIVE HIM A GREETING; FOR THE ONE WHO GIVES HIM A GREETING, PARTICIPATES IN THAT PERSON'S’ EVIL WORKS (2 JOHN (9)10-11). THEY WHO CAUSE DIVISIONS AND OFFENSES CONTRARY TO THIS DOCTRINE AVOID THEM, FOR THEY ARE NOT SERVING OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST /YESHUA, BUT THEIR OWN INTEREST (ROM. 16:17-18; PHIL. 3:19; TITUS 1:11; 1 JOHN 2:4).
ANYONE WHO GOES AHEAD AND DOES NOT REMAIN TRUE TO WHAT CHRIST HAS TAUGHT, DOES NOT HAVE GOD. BUT THOSE WHO CONTINUE IN HIS TEACHINGS, HE HAS BOTH THE FATHER AND THE SON (2 JOHN 9; 1 JOHN 2:24; MATT. 24:13).
BE CAREFUL THEN TO FOLLOW ALL THAT CHRIST HAS SAID, AND THE COMMANDMENTS THAT THE LORD’S SERVANT MOSES GAVE TO YOU, LISTENING TO EVERYTHING THE TEACHERS AND PHARISEES OF THE LAW TELL YOU. FOR THEY SEAT IN THE SEAT OF MOSES WITH AUTHORITY, SPEAKING OF THE WILL OF GOD FOUND IN THE LAW (EX. 18:13-15; MATT. 23:2-3; JOSH. 22:5). BUT DO NOT DO WHAT THEY DO, FOR THEY DO NOT PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH, INSTEAD THEY MAKE THE LAW VOID BY THEIR [MAN MADE] TRADITIONS (MARK 7:8, 13; JOSH. 22:5; DEUT. 6:6-7; DEUT. 11:8; JOSH. 1:7, 8; JOSH. 23:6; DEUT. 5:32; MATT. 28:19-20; JAMES 1:25; JOHN 8:32).
AND THE LORD SAID, “IF YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE VOICE OF YHVH [YAH] YOUR GOD AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN HIS EYES, IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO HIS COMMANDMENTS AND KEEP HIS DECREES, I WILL NOT BRING UPON YOU ANY OF THE DISEASES AND CHRONIC ILLNESSES THAT I BROUGHT ON THE EGYPTIANS (DEUT. 28:58-61; DEUT. 29:19-20; HEB. 12:6), FOR I AM THE LORD, WHO HEALS (EX. 15:26; MAL. 4:2) WHEN THERE IS OBEDIENCE (JOHN 5:14), AS WELL AS DISCIPLINES WHEN THERE IS NOT (PROV. 3:12).” SO REVERE HIS GLORIOUS AND AWESOME NAME, YHVH [YAH] YOUR GOD; SO THAT ALL MAY BE WELL WITH YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN (DEUT. 5:29; JOHN 5:14).

FOR IT IS WRITTEN: IN THE LAST DAYS...I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH. I WILL POUR OUT MY SPIRIT ON ALL FLESH; PUTTING MY LAW WITHIN THEM AND WRITING IT ON THEIR HEART, AND SO MOVING THEM TO KEEP MY DECREES AND CAREFULLY KEEP MY LAWS. I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY WILL BE MY PEOPLE, FORGIVING AND REMEMBERING THEIR SINS NO MORE (HEB. 8:8-12; ACTS 2:17; JER. 31:31-34; JOEL 2:28; EZ. 36:27).
WE ARE TOLD THROUGH SCRIPTURE THAT SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF GOD’S HOLY LAW (1 JOHN 3:4), AND THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE EVEN KNOWN WHAT SIN WAS IF THE LAW HAD NOT SAID, “YOU SHALL NOT COVET,” (Rom. 7:7) AND THAT IT IS WITHIN THIS VERY LAW, THAT WE HAVE NOW BECOME MORE CONSCIOUS OF WHAT SIN IS IN THE EYES OF GOD, AND NOT JUST BY OUR OWN CONSCIENCE OF WHAT WE THOUGHT WRONG WAS PRIOR TO KNOWING HIM AND HIS LAW (ROM. 3:20; ROM. 2:13-15; 1 COR. 4:4).
NOW WE KNOW THAT WE ARE SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD, THROUGH FAITH IN YESHUA OUR MESSIAH AND BY HIS BLOOD THAT WAS SHED FOR OUR SINS ON CALVARY /GOLGOTHA (EPH. 2:8), YET WE DON’T MAKE THE LAW VOID BY THIS FAITH, WE ESTABLISH IT (ROM. 3:31). FOR GRACE DOES NOT CAUSE US TO BE LAWLESS; BUT IT TEACHES US TO SAY NO TO UNGODLINESS (TIT. 2:12).
LASTLY, THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN YESHUA OUR MESSIAH (FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE) HAS NOW SET US FREE FROM THE POWER AND INFLUENCE OF SIN AND THE OF PENALTY OF DEATH WHICH WAS REQUIRED FOR BREAKING IT (ROM. 8:2-3; JOHN 3:16; GAL. 5:1; ROM. 6:18). SO LOVE HIM, AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, FOR THEY ARE NOT BURDENSOME (DEUT. 30:11-14) FOR THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST (JOHN 14:15; 1 JOHN 5:3).
