In all things, a man should aim at finding the healthy balance (the mid way position)




In all things, a man should aim at finding the healthy balance (the mid way position)

In all things, a man should aim at finding the healthy balance (the mid way position). Thus, it is wise to avoid all forms of extreme (fundamentalist) positions, no matter if we are talking about political, economical, scientific, religious, or even secular fundamentalism. In fact, the Holy scripture records King David asking God not to give him too much, nor too little, but just the balanced amount. As is written:
“Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me only food sufficient for me, lest I be full, and deny Thee, and say, “Who is the Lord? ”— or lest I be poor and steal, and take the name of my God in vain”- Proverbs 30: 8-9. Thus, when it comes to God’s commandments, we need to find a healthy balance: neither to exaggerate them [pretending to obey all 613 laws], nor to totally disregard them. Rather, we must keep a healthy balance (focusing ourselves on the obedience of the Ten Laws given to Moses upon the Two Stone Tablets).
And the same goes with whether we should do good, or whether we should abstain from evil. Seek the balance! Do good (i. e., honor your parents) AND abstaining from doing evil (i. e., from cheating your brother).
And the fact that the God of Israel wants the believer to experience a balanced life was also intimated by His Holy Law, as it would allow you to eat meat, but won’t allow you to eat ALL kind of meat (i. e., Pork); It would allow you to marry, But it won’t allow you to marry ALL types of people (i. e. your sister); It would allow you to work, but it won’t allow you to work ALL days of the week (i. e, Sabbath); It would allow you to offer animal sacrifices, but it won’t allow you to sacrifice ALL type of animals (i. e., predators); It would allow you to engage on business, but it won’t allow you to engage on ALL sort of businesses (i. e., Usury).
In short, God’s Law enjoined the believer to live a balanced life, avoiding radical extremes, as well as thinking in terms of “All, or Nothing”.

 

How can Ashkenazi Jews be so evil?

The reason why Ashkenazi Jews are so evil is basically twofold. First of all, most of them belong to the White race. In other words, they are healthy, smart, good looking, and energetic; thus, they have a natural tendency to be “control freaks”; proud, arrogant, and promiscuous. But there is a second [and far more important] cause: From their early childhood, Ashkenazi Jews are exposed to either the study of Torah (God’s Ten commandments), or to people who had been in turn influenced by such study.
And what’s wrong with the study of God’s commandments? Nothing!.... aside from the fact that, when a person devotes himself to the study of a piece of literature whose main focus is the law of “cause, and effect” (“action, and reaction”, or “sowing and reaping”), such person can become wiser than the rest (“YOUR COMMANDS MAKE ME WISER than my enemies… The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A GOOD UNDERSTANDING HAVE ALL THEY THAT DO HIS COMMANDMENTS… I UNDERSTAND MORE THAN THE ELDERS, BECAUSE I OBEY YOUR PRECEPTS”- Psalm 119: 98, Psalm 111: 10, Psalm 119: 100).
Unfortunately, once this person has acquired such great understanding, he can choose to use it to achieve a great good, or a great evil. And that’s why we find that the leading roles on every field of science, religion, politics, and society, are are in the hands of White (Ashkenazi) Jews. Thus, they play the leading roles in the noblest of all causes (Philanthropy, Medical research, agriculture, water conservation, etc), as well as in the vilest and most degenerated movements (atheism, gay rights, weapons manufacturing, Marxism, etc).
May the God of Abraham have mercy of all Jewish people!

 

How do we know what God’s will for our lives is?

How can we know God's will for our lives? We do so by remembering that God’s Law contains all that we need to know, in order to understand (in a broad sense) what God expects from His servants. Thus, when we begins to study God’s Law (also known as “Torah”), we finds that certain things are obviously lawful (like celebrating Passover, leaving the corners of his harvest for the benefit of the poor, honoring his parents, keeping the Shabbat day, etc. ); while other things are obviously illicit (do not steal, do not lie, do not practice usury, do not fornicate, do not be arrogant, do not put a stumbling block before the blind, do not curse the deaf, etc).
And, between these two extremes, there are things that are doubtful-- about which the sages of Israel still do not reach total agreement. Some of these things are: What is the exact pronunciation of the Shem Ha Meforash (the Tetragrammaton)? How long will the Messianic era last? How long will the punishment in Gehinnom last? Who (or what) is the Messiah? Will the ten lost tribes ever return? Etc.
The mature believer puts aside what is doubtful, in order to put the emphasis on fulfilling what is obviously lawful (making good the wise saying that goes on to say: “One bird in your hand, is better than a hundred birds flying high above your head”). On the other hand, the immature believer leaves aside what the Torah makes clearly permissible, and focuses instead in what the Torah leaves uncertain and doubtful, thereby “straining out the gnat, while gulping down the camel”.
The fact is that, he who knows what Torah’s implicit message actually is (do no harm to the innocent, and do what is good, as one day God will judge your life, returning upon you the same measure of goodness you’ve bestowed upon your fellow human beings), clearly understands that following what Torah has made self evident will always take precedence over what the Torah has left doubtful. And the former consists of honoring our parents, having mercy of the hungry, abstaining from lies, usury, immorality, and opportunism (things whose reward the Torah guarantees that both Hebrews and Gentiles will receive, as demonstrated by the story of Job).
In the eyes of God, doing the former goodness is far more important than believing that so-and-so is a descendant of one of the lost tribes of Israel; that so-and-so (Jesus, Bar Koziva, Schneerson, etc) is the promised Messiah; that Shabbat may sometimes fall upon a different day of the week; or that the Tetragrammaton must be pronounced in this or that other way (Things whose subjective nature prevents us from knowing with certainty whether they will be rewarded or not).
Truth is that, trying to take care of the things that the Torah has left doubtful, at the expense of neglecting those that are clearly evident, is like pretending to “outpace those running on a horseback”, without first outpacing those “running on their own feet”. That is to say, if we cannot “digest” (or “make our own”) the small idea of being faithful to the truth that is clearly evident (i. e., “you shall not bear false witness”), how can we ever proclaim ourselves custodians of those larger truths which are not self evident? Trying to do so would be a manifestation of our self-deception and pride; things for which the wrath of God comes upon mankind.
In short, if you live in obedience to God’s Ten Laws (something obviously lawful), and somebody claims to tell you (supposedly in the name of God) that you mus abide by something that the Torah has left doubtful (that you mus do, or believe, this or that other thing; that you must go to this or that other place; that you must accept this or that other theological interpretation; that you must follow this or that other religious leader; that must believe in this or that other book, etc), rest assured that God doesn’t expect your to blindly believe the words of such person. And, unless you are absolutely sure that what that person is ordering you represents God’s will for your life (and doesn’t undermine or contradict what God’s Law makes clearly lawful and unlawful), you have no obligation to obey (nor believe) what is being told to you.
