There’s literally a reason for everything in the Torah and it was designed to create a wholesome environment within the self and also a wholesome framework to guide a person throughout his life. Tyranny on the other hand seeks to take wisdom and wholesomeness and questions and seeking and turn it into fear mongering and control. a person cannot be his true self in a tyrannical emvirmemt, which is a curious, hard worker that sometimes makes dumb mistakes. This hyperfocus on rules and perfection makes people lose touch with the very principles the book was supposed to and was desighned for.
Would you accept an abusive person into your life? That behaves in a controlling fashion? No you would not.
If you yourself would not allow others to be cruel or controlling to you the same is with our relationship with God. If God created us to despise and stay away from abuse why would He be abusive towards us and expect abusive things from us. I truly believe is that God wouldn’t because God is not abusive or controlling. And those that think he is…..are contradicting themselves by removing from their lives, friends or foe who’d treat them the same way.
Our relationship with life and how we interact and what we consider right and wrong and what we consider just or unjust, what we consider corrupt or not corrupt, in our day to day relationships, is the same and has to be the same with our relationship to the Devine. Because concepts don’t change, abuse doesn’t change just because the charachtor is bigger and more Devine. Relationships still have the same rules on the micro level to the macro level.
So the better question isn’t, we fallow God cuz he “says” so the better question is, it someone ever told me that would I agree with that way of thinking or would I consider that something I wouldnt invite into my life. If you can consider it wrong on the micro level it will also be wrong on the macro.
Our Creator is loving.He is kind. He cares about every one of us as His own. He is just. Not unjust. And it’s a shame that so many people create this false narrative and fear based thinking when it’s so untrue and comepletly contradicts what they would accept from anyone else in their lives

Slavery I can’t answer but from what I understand Jewish slaves were people that needed to pay debts. And it states clearly to treat your Jewish slaves properly, becuase a Jewish slave is your brethren and when you see someone you know in a degrading situation it’s easy to look down on them so the emphasis is, despite their ugly circumstances make sure you treat them properly.

Karbanos are and served as a spiritual equalizer. Certain sins’ metaphysical impact on the persons entire being, requires a sacrifice of atonement to “pay” for those sins. Because the sacrifice itself will eqaulize the callateral damage the sin had on the person. This is not a physical payment but a spiritual one. If someone harmed someone by mistake or even on purpous those actions cause suffering not just in the victim but in the perpetror. It’s like life itself requires payment. Karbanos equalizes those sins and becomes the payment so that the person can be freed from the callateral damage of their choices.

So many interesting viewpoints. Let’s unpack, qwerty watches tv but thinks difference of oppion is kefirah….contradictory to say the least

Ok qwerty I think your confused. We established that the person who was put to death was gathering wood to make a fire..imporant distinction..
Second, if the Torah isn’t a book of morality. Then what is it. What’s its nature. Why was it written..

In my words it seems rescue is trying to differentiate tyranny from truth. Simple as that

Spelling doesn’t change the content of a person’s message. It’s clear that your misconstruing what this writer is saying. You think they are condoning a pick and choose reality, that’s why you think they would say that about spelling but what they are saying is very different, your just to angry to see it. From what I hear them saying, they are trying to differentiate tyrannical thinking from moral code.

Adam wasn’t allowed to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil because knowing good and evil, creates a disconnect between understanding and experience, separating a person from the Devine. Eating from the tree of knowledge gives him the illusion of choice when he doesn’t truly have the wisdom to make those said choices
For example if I read a book all about you, and it said exactly what you did in your life….does that mean that I know you?
No it’s an illusion of knowing. I can only know you if I meet you and see you. Only then can I know you.
The tree of knowledge of good and evil gives people the illusion of knowing but not having experienced those things for themselves they think they know things which they don’t understand. They thus become disconnected from reality and thus fall into hardship and pain and suffering.
There are many many examples of this kind of disconnect all over the world
For example if you look at someone who has a communistic viewpoint like the new mayer in New York. He agrees with the communistic idea because on paper it sounds good. But in reality it isn’t good.
He ate from the tree of knowledge of good and bad, but he’s lacking wisdom and real life experience.
Make sense?

Why else was the Torah created then.
