Purpose of Origin of Universe

The rabbis attributed a dual nature to
human beings and placed them
between earthly and heavenly
creatures in the hierarchy of being.
human beings are the only creatures
whose souls are from heaven and
whose bodies are from earth

Purpose of the Origin of Man

According to classical rabbinic Judaism, human
beings represent the pinnacle of creation
and are indebted to their creator.
1. Become godly
2. Be raised up as Gods chosen people (Am
segulah)
3. Become a light to the nations (Or
lagoyim)

 Since human beings were created

with free will, God gives them the
choice of pursuing "life and
prosperity" or "death and adversity,"
ultimately enjoining them to choose
life (Deut. 30:15, 19).
Mans moral ambivalence derives
from the two inclinations within him:
the good inclination (yezer tov) and
the evil inclination (yezer ra)

is the greatest commandment in
the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love
the Lord your God with all
your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind.'
This is the frst and greatest
commandment. And the second is
like it: 'Love your neighbor as
yourself.' All the Law and the
Prophets hang on these two
commandments. Matt 22:36-40

others what you would have
them do to you, for this sums
up the Law and the Prophets.
