Can anyone imagine walking blindly into a synagoue and attempting to over-throw the Rabbi? It might just make a rather interesting but idiotic reality show. the terrifying reality is that these people (and there are millions of them) train their children to believe in the fairy-tale "just be a good boy/girl and say a prayer every night and G-d will bless you" lies that the lead straight to Sheol. It is outrageous to see how the yetzer harah is foremost in the teachings of these little sects and cingregations that suppose they can hi-jack true tzadikim and full in the blanks with the sugar-coated doctrine that they found so repugnant in the congregations they left in the first place. Selah . . . .
How sad this is . . . I mean really sad. Are we not adult enough to converse and debate while maintaining mutual respect. The high and mighty attitude I feel from the remarks of Louis & Susanna reflect their core beliefs and attitudes toward actually LEARNING from ome another. It is perfectly obvious that their "sect" is far, very far, from the foundational teachings of Torah. It is also crystal clear that they have not bothered to study the tzadikim, if they had they might, MIGHT have a totally different atitude. In the absence of a In zealous desire to let go of the theme-park, roller-coaster ride emptiness of x-ian dogma the TRUTH cannot possibly found. If it weren't such a weighty life-and-death topic this badminton match to and froing would be hilarious.
Amein, well said.
I agree that a vast majority of X-ians who claim to love the Jewish people and love Israel are simply blubbering away and trying to convince th Apple of G-ds Eye, that they must come to the Father by turning away from what HaShem, El Gibor, Adonai T"Zaot taught us millenia ago. This missonary propaganda is evil and those who attempt to lead us away are the children of lies. Who is the father of lies? We all know the answer to that. Personally I am disgusted by all the "goyim" who snot themselves into a tizzy when they "cry for the damnation of the Jews". The only thing such people want to do is so X-ianise those whom HaShem cherishes. Such evil will be erradicated along with the muslims who continue in their attempt to murder every one of us. When i see the skyline of Jerusalem my stomachh turns. The crosses and the golden hump defile Jerusalem, they defile our Holy Land!
How do we do this? We also study the words of the sages who, through constant prayer and study, by fully submitting to the law: by seeking Him in every way possible, by fasting, praying, waking, and sleeping, eating and breathing what HaShem demands of us. You may "think" anything you choose but that does not mean what you beieve is true. selah. without training and practice a lawyer cannot understaqnd what the "spirit" or intention of the law actually means. Likewise, someone who has been a volunteer at a hospital and has learned many things they cannot be a doctor or a nurse and an orderly, or an OR assistant with out many years of study. It follows that we cannot simply read Tanach a few times and then claim to understand what Torah is telling us. We need sages, leaders and commentators who are well learned in order to fully grasp what HaShem is telling us . . . telling us what we need to do in the most important thing we will ever do . . . worship, serve and please our Master, Melech haOlam. Anyone who dares to throw aside the wisdom of their teachers are mothin short of being fools.
No one can "deserve" the bounty we receive fom HaShem! That is a fundamental truth, an unchanging truth. Of course we dot "earn" salvation, however, when we OBEY HIM we HONOUR HIM! Emuna, ACTIVE FAITH, not merely saying we believe, but living a life that reflects belief. So . . . how do we know what we must and must not do? There is ONE TRUTH and that truth is found in Torah! When we are observant from childhood, not just going through the motions but LIVING FOR HaSHEM, if we grow up studying Torah, observing ALL HIS COMMANDS! But it is imperative to understand what the Law really and truly is telling us.
