Telling them that they should beleive in the Torah because it is the logical thing to do, and people who dont think it is logical only think so because they have already made up THEIR minds not to beleive while you yourself admit that you beleive JUST BECAUSE YOU DO is simply wrong and will come across as arrogant hypocritical and wrong to many people.
I just reread what I wrote and realized that some of it does seem hypocrytical. Sometimes I write things that when I reread it I see that I didn’t get my point across clearly.
But what I have said repeatedly is that the Torah is emes REGARDLESS whether my logical proofs make sense and REGARDLESS if others (and I meant including myself) see the Torah as emes or not.
What I meant to write and the message I meant to give is that the Torah is the absolute truth and of divine origin regardless if we find it to be so. I believe with absolute faith that the Torah is true, regardless if I would find logical proofs for that or not. And the more I search for the answers and logical proofs in the Torah for the Torahs divine origin, I find proofs that never fail to amaze me.
And since each and every Jewish soul was at har Sinai, there is an intrinsic knowledge in the soul of every Jew that the Torah is divine but for various reasons one may not be conscious of that fact. And what for others seem to be logical proofs that the Torah is not of a divine source does not make me change my mind because of the fallacy and shortsightedness of humans and what is regarded as true ideology today can become outdated tommorrow. That is regarding all human logic, but the Torah is unchanging because of it’s divinity.
If I ever posted anything that seems to contradict what I have written in this post it was a mistake.
Saying that and trying to convince people that your beleif will lead them to a happier life may be succesfull.
I never believe that I can convince people of anything if they don’t agree with what I’m saying or decide that I have a valid point. I know I cannot change people’s mind so I’m not out to do so, I simpy enjoy a good debate or reflecting about issues, and if my beliefs help anybody then I’m thankful about that.
