Before i start to listen i want to say Rabbi Jacobson that we need you. Your wishdom. You are like a father to us. And especially i. these dark times we need a rabbi like you. Thank you, thank you. Baruch haShem you are here.
Rabbi, first thing I heard in the afterlife was “It’s Not Your Time”, which indicates to me that the hour of our death is predetermined by God. How does trying to change our destiny here make any difference? What we experience in this lifetime is predetermined by the grand scheme of things. If a person has regrets about their past actions, I can see how that would be applicable; changing the character flaws that led them there is a good idea for a peaceful life. I’m struggling trying to make sense of the messages given to me, the visual experiences that don’t make any sense when I look at the world around us, and how to communicate His message about the simplicity of loving each other and ourselves. Religions don’t make any sense if we truly believe in the Creator of all things. Your beliefs are the closest version of the truth, from my perspective, but all religions have some unique characteristics to ponder on. It’s not possible to have what I like to call the religion of G-d without denominations because it’s been ingrained into our DNA, so to speak, we don’t know how to be any other way. At least people are gathering in His name, to worship Him and that’s a good thing, I see that. Why then do we forget about His teachings hours after the service/gathering has ended? Our obligation to G-d isn’t limited to a couple of hours/days per week and then back to business as usual. How, on this material world, is it even possible to change the path we’ve chosen? It’s a runaway train that is going to implode. Signs of mental distress are everywhere already because we don’t have time to listen to G-d.
There is a Book that he speaks though. The Strongest Strong’s EXHAUSTIVE concordance published by ZONDERVAN BECAUSE IT HAS HIS LITTLE WORDS like SAY SAID SAIDST REMEMBER IF AT ALL And you are right it is as simple as Loving One Another. He is Our Father in the Heavens: Good Loving Caring Only Life not Death ( Don’t Forget ) The first time used rule of the different Hebrew words and the verses associated with them. The ROOT WORD Of Each All the King James Bible Verses Both Old and New Testament can be interpreted by taking the names of people, places, events and actions with the Root Word.
