so, are you saying that what Judaism calls the branches of the spiritual roots, the physical halacha, did not exist in that time, but he somehow knew? Does there have to be a branch before one understands the root? Isn’t a branch somehow always physically manifested in this world?
so what you’re saying is, the work we did during the week on our ego is what we should restrict on Shabbat because we already laboured in that?
so what you’re saying is there’s a time to murder and a time to steal, and a time not to murder and a time not to steal? But it doesn’t say that, I guess I don’t get it
Im having a hard time with this one. Rav says in this 1 min video, re: “we become God”. I get that when we learn his qualities we can become similar to him, like Adam/Domeh, but that seems like a bold statement, “ we become the God” in fact, to a orthodox jew it would sound heretical. But im giving it the benefit of doubt, I want to understand. How would that be any different than Christians calling Jesus God for example? Which I spent many years believing and finally rejected that.
thanks
OK, I’m on a streak today, reading disclosing a portion in this portion Mishpatim. The Commandments for murder, murder the egoistic desire, as it says, when somebody comes to kill you you must kill him first, and theft, to steal from the gentile in us, but why do the Commandments say “do not” murder and “do not” steal?
