Thank you so much for this incredibly deep understanding of an event we are all familiar with, but not to that level. Also the deeper understanding of the purpose of our trials.

Thank you so much for this. I feel this is the understanding l have been searching for to explain some events in my life. It's hard to accept, though. I'm so glad to have been led to your teachings. 😊

[@susansmith-Bibleresearch4674]

To demonstrate being able to discern/hear God's voice and believe that God's character is good and can do anything and fully trusting is what makes us righteous. It says God tested Avraham - He heard/obeyed therefore it was credited to Him as righteousness. This was before Moses. The first time you're ever deemed as righteous is to able to have the friendship with Hashem and the intimacy of believing in His character is not to harm/destroy/that He is God of life not of death. He is able to take away and give, that He does not change His mind once He's told you something, His promise stands.

[@lamedvav]

What is the difference between love of Hashem and fear of Hashem?

[@ebenezer6844]

"Now i know. . . " This means that GD didn't know something prior to this. We know this can't be! So how can we make sense of Gd's comment and what does this say about Its "Nature"?

[@Daniel-gq1xy]

Look at all these fantastic comments. Good job everyone.

[@Daniel-gq1xy]

Some would say why not sue. It gets even better. My boss had just testified in a case. Against a company he was in negotiations to sell his company to. Yes testimony against the company you are trying to sell your business to. They call if friendly testimony. Clearly some lies were told under oath to pull that trick off. I had an email showing behind the back conversation while trial was taking place. Proving he had lied under oath. During the part when they ask if you have any conflicts of interest.

[@Daniel-gq1xy]

I was told I made a bad moral decision finalizing my medical condition of two herniated discs. 20% disabled for life. Was told no such thing as permanent injuries. I made a bad moral decision so I get fired.

[@Daniel-gq1xy]

I was fired after 22 years of labor. Double herniated discs from construction samples and 60 pound document boxes. Fire cabinets. Desks. Whatever needed moving for 22 years.

[@Daniel-gq1xy]

I am on vacation trying to figure out whether to sue him or not over getting fired the same week I signed off on my medical condition as permanent. There is a man at the beach. A homeless martial arts instructor. This man looked like a Rabbi. When he talked he talked in such strange ways. He tells me the sounds of Hashems name. This is a homeless man on the beach. He tells me. I ask his opinion on my situation. He says he is the light warrior. That he faced similar issues. He said maybe my purpose was to be the tool that would bring him down. I almost went through with it. Then I heard a higher teaching that Hashem is the only judge. I cannot be a judge.

[@Growmetheus]

I think if you came back to read this you would be just as confused as I am at what you mean 😂

[@Daniel-gq1xy]

Seriously this homeless martial arts expert told me the sounds of Hashems name when he found out I was Jewish. Phonetically. Youd. veeh. Etc. This homeless man who lived out of a minivan doing martial arts all day at the beach. Tells me the sounds and says he is the light warrior. Life is strange and beautiful. Everyone be sure to make lots of comments and check out the zoom classes. They are fantastic.

[@Esther_is_my_name]

Ask Job.

[@lorenzomarioruscello7691]

Moving

[@Daniel-gq1xy]

My boss was a professional liar. I’m sorry they call it expert witness. In Babylon. Professional construction expert witness.

[@Daniel-gq1xy]

Comment storm. Everyone share a personal test. Not too personal. I want to share a personal test. The test of Hashem is the only judge. This one is faced every day as it only expires when I expire.

[@Daniel-gq1xy]

So my old boss still gets paid $300 per hour to give testimony in court. I could have ruined his whole life and in the process all my former coworkers would also have their livelihood destroyed. For my satisfaction. This test I face every day working a now menial job. Every day this test as his bad testimony has no shelf life. At any time he could be made to pay. But every day I need to remind myself Hashem is the only judge. Not me.
