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?

[Brad]

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?

[Brad]

Should there be any restrictions on shabbat? Maybe spiritual restrictions ?

[Brad]

judaism teaches that Abraham kept halacha before the Torah was given, this is some sort of attempt to prove he was “religious”, and that judaism is the way, not buying it.  what does it really mean that he kept the mizvots and even the halacha?
