So Be It

[@jakobw135]

I mentioned this in one of your previous videos on the subject: that G-D created the world for Man's - PLEASURE!

[@jakobw135]

Since man is supposed to be derived from the Creator as a PART of Him so to speak, then how can you say that he will be ANNIHILATED if he SINS? Wouldn't that mean G-D is completely destroying a part of himself ?

[@biblicalmessiah]

I to in the past, had to grapple with these concepts and ideas. What helped me as a starting point. Is to accept the only thing that truly exists is Divine Consciousness,every else is a creation of it.

How do you define annihilation?

[@jakobw135]

@@element2138 The Rabbi who presented this video - Rabbi Shimon Kessin. Didn't you hear him mention it - SEVERAL TIMES?

[@Whoisager]

This means the person loses his sense of self and melts back into the consciousness of Hashem which he’s already a part of. It is difficult to articulate but if you are not aware of yourself you don’t exist.

[@jakobw135]

@@WhoisagerSo , are you saying that this ANNIHILATION is a reference to you losing - SELF-AWARENESS - independent of G-D?

[@daisyduke6573]

Thank you for this lesson🦋. Ruah Elohim why not Nefesh Elohim?

[@ל.ל-כ9ע]

nefesh is soul of the actual body

No, it was for his pleasure, what and how he gets his pleasure should be the question.

[@jakobw135]

@@henriettaneville1070 G-D doesn't need pleasure or anything. OBVIOUSLY, it's for the sake of his creation - Man! That shows His goodness and generosity.

[@henriettaneville1070]

@@jakobw135 It says he did it all for his pleasure, the meaning is not like our pleasure. We are created in his likeness, he gave us life. We have a lot of him in us, look in yourself, we aren't God our lord, we were created because it wanted to do so. His pleasure his will not our on. He wanted to see how it could work, maybe. He also brought us into this world, and it him that can take us out of this world and even any existence at all. Just be thankful he makes rules for himself. He has all honor. If he didn't want us, he won't have created us, just remember he knows the being to the end, and everything in between. I am absolutely sure he knows at times we are slow witted. When I create something, I do it because I want to do so. At my pleasure, or I won't do so. I am also thinking we were told what to do, subdue the earth, every time he sent couples out into the world it to subdue the earth, bring it into control, so it is healthy and fit for mankind to live in. Not to destroy. He can do it himself, but we learn nothing if we don't do some things ourselves. Too bad we break things.

[@jakobw135]

When you say that G-D has - NO OUTSIDE- aren't you saying that He is both in and outside of Himself, so to speak?

[@jakobw135]

Why do you say that OLAM HABA does not exist in time? Can't you say that time in the future state, will go on - FOREVER?

[@beakayy]

(youtube seems to have deleted my reply to this so i guess i have to type it again), but i wondered the same thing. i think R Kessin specifically addressed this point at roughly 41:00. G d does not exist 'within' time. time is a quality of the substance of created existence, a substance which is ultimately finite, and contingent upon G d's will, continual speaking of it into existence. G d does not experience time, and G d could be said to see the 'entirety' of time, because G d is outside of time. if you imagine all of creation as a single circle on an infinite plane, 'time' would be happening inside the circle, but not outside. G d would be creating everything within the circle, through his being power will and activity, in other words- all the aspects of G d which are revealed in creation. but G d would also be, everything that is outside the circle, not subject to time, a type of finitude of substance. olam haba, to the best of my understanding based on the rabbi's explanation, shares the quality of being 'outside' of time, not being subject to time, not having the quality of being finite. so it cannot be described as 'forever' because time will not be passing there, so to speak. its eternal in the sense that it is outside of the finite quality of time, at least to the best of my understanding.

How does it make sense that in the future state of eternity - we will be COMPLETELY SPIRITUAL? It is MORE SENSIBLE to say that the physical will be PERFECTED by the spiritual, and both will coexist as a TRUE DIVINE HUMAN - all within the context of TIME going on FOREVER!
