Once we get to the point of meeting him, I am sure we will have no questions for we will lose all understanding of this world.....We are born into this plane of existence blinded purposefully from other dimensions of existence. Our spirit is restrained in this vessel of a physical body. Our lives here are short dramas that we can't understand. When something negative happens in our life, right away everyone attempts to questions G-d's intentions.

I think of G-d as the founder and chairman of the board of directors of all creation. He doesn't necessarily deal with all the day to day petty things that are concerned with each of us. Such things are delegated to other angels and powers, however every decision goes thru him as well as all decrees upon individuals and humanity in general come from him directly.

Intelegent response... :innoc04: ... , but what will you ask him?

OK lets say if G-d were to materialize on our plain of existance, and I were to ask him a question, I would probably not understand his answer because it would come from a dimension beyond our possible comprehension, and beyond the bounds of language itself.

And in the opposite scenario, when we eventually die, we are stripped of earthly consciousness and perceptions. Once we get to the point of the creator, all we will be is pure energy, a pure soul. At that point we will lose all desire to inquire about anything, because we will already be back with Creator from which we came!! it will be a familiar place to our soul and the cycle will continue.. No questions will be asked..

first of all, I agree with Exective's first post. I thought about it often, in such terms myself.

But to answer the question: Just seeing him would answer many if not most of my questions. However, considering that I dont like to assume, I will ask him, if he really gave Torah and all the religion related laws to jewish people.

But then again, may be I would not want to have such opportunity. Because I think the reason behind many people not observing religious laws is because they either dont have faith in G-d or they doubt its accuracy. Hence, many individuals rely on their own creativity when it comes to living this life( I mean they dont follow already existing laws). However, if one will realize or will know for sure that G-d exists and that everything should be done according to the Torah or else, then people will automatically abdicate their ability to think and decide for themselves, will not be curious and will obey all the rules without any quesitons. Also, people will know everything, why they live, and how to live, their interest in life will deminish, they will simply exist like robots because that's what they have to do, to progress to the next step, or what have you.

Now, Im not saying that individuals who observe religious laws very closely, do not think for themselves, but you must admit that they have to make less decisions, because they are already provided with some of the answers to life's questions and situations, by the Torah. So, in these situations, they just have to decide if they should follow it or not. Still even these individuals, considering that they dont know many aspects about life, religion, and G-d live their lives with many questions and decision making process never stops. But once again, although many of these individuals would state that have great faith in Torah, G-d, and everything else that applies to it, even they have doubts because they don't know 100%. People might argue this point, but before you do, think about this, vividly. Would you have sacrificed/agree to do that just because G-d told you so, like Abraham did when he was told to sacrifice his only son, just because G-d told him to do so? Also, take into consideration modern life and society. (You sit, and one day you hear some voice, you talk to it and this voice tells you that he/she is G-d. THen you converse and this voice tells you to prove your faith by sacrificing your child). What would you do? Just listen to it? Would you obey it without any questions? Would you ignore it because you think you might have some mental illness?

From my understanding, in that situation G-d tested Abraham's faith, in him/G-d.

Very well said!! :)

The ultra orthodox don't understand one thing. Nobody religious or not religious is guaranteed best of health, lack of crisis, or any other negative event in their lives. I know many ultra orthodox and darling people who have fallen severly ill. Of course the Rabbi's will attempt to justify this by tracing sins back to their parents or even 7 generations up, desperately attempting to justify such a decree.. But guess what? Chaos theory reigns! G-d made life as one huge drama!! Drama filled with certain natural laws, some that can be explained and some that can't. Some people are born with the capacity to prosper and be healthy and others simply born without such capacities. Even the ancient Hebrews called this capacity or potential "Mazal", or destiny... Based on chaotic events such as conception and birth under certain "Mazalot" which translates as Zodiac or astrology (yet for G-d chaos is orderly, since he mastered this entire holographic game we call the universe and life).

Now, the Rabbis go a step further to say that fine, even if religion doesn't gaurantee you anything on THIS plane of existence, then it might offer you something after death!! And vice versa, the consequences of NOT following these million and one fabricated laws, would be to face gehenom (hell). So that is their last resort is scaring the crap out of young children into converting them into the zombies we see here on boojle. And we call Islamic fundamentalists twisted?? The difference is, the suicide bombers lose their physical life and these zombified cult worshipping fanatic lose their free will and quality of life. They surrender to FEAR and GUILT, these are the fences that subconsciously bind the young and spiritually unprepared orthodox Jews.

The problem with Ultra orthodox Judaism, is that they attempt to convert each Jew into clergical level. You can't expect young children to truely understand the spiritual aspects tied to Judaism. This only comes thru the drama of life and age. So, they use the above tactics to mold them into the "position" at a younger age. This is one reason i respect Rabbis who had an epiphany later in life and changed 180 degrees rather than those born into religion. Those that went thru a life turning change, truly saw the spiritual light, and they tend to have purer minds following such a turn..

To conclude, I will state that in my opinion, life was created for randomness. There are plenty of philosophies of how to live life in order to prevent being negatively impacted by the laws of nature such as karma (boomerang effect) among others as well as how to behave towards your fellow man as a reflection of yourself. Many ancient philosophies have the same roots as Kabbalah, and carry as much wisdom and understanding of the world and existence.
It is funny how Judaism criticizes "sorcery" when its own roots lie in mysticism and "magic". Offering burnt sacrifices and incense to the Lord as an example is one of other countless ancient practices. Everything is tied to one, and yet today we segregate ourselves from the "goyim" in complete isolation. We are all lost on this planet. Millenia have passed and scripture has been twisted out of context. If the Moshiach comes, I can assure you, he will not be of this planet..

I am not saying we should disown our bloodline, however we can keep alot of Judaism alive by observing the main pillars on which it stands such as kosher, prayer, and shabbat.

Excelent... :happy65: Tsippa and Executive great replies, i love it.
