THE OBLIGATION TO EXPEND EFFORT IS MERELY A DECREEDPUNISHMENT — AND A MEANS TO PREVENT SIN

[Music] welcome to episode 13 of our basaly series The basaly asks the obvious question if we're being told now that everything happens is God's decree and my ISL is really not necessary why am I working why must I put forth the effort and the answer is you're 100% right it's a punishment God punished us after the sin of Adam by the sweat of your brow you're going to eat bread it really was unnecessary Adam before he sinned the BET quotes the gar Angels Came and they were feeding him sizzling steaks and pouring wine for him it's only the sin that caused the punishment that we need to work the BET continues and says God is not a vengeful God he's not out to get us punishments are not there just to punish God wants to fix us and if we after we ate from the at which introduced desire into man would have the free time that Adam and K had before this sin we'd only get into trouble and therefore God said work and toil cuz I need to keep you busy not because I need your work and effort to get what you need I don't need that I can send mine from the heavens the only reason I make you work is to keep you out of trouble studies show that on holiday weekends the crime rate goes up when people don't have what to do they get themselves in trouble therefore we have to work and as the says learning is good with work the toil of both of them causes us to forget sin work needs to be toil people think if I'm sitting at a computer all day that's work that might not be work it has to be something that keeps you busy and keeps you out of trouble and that's why the says if you're able to stay learning and you're someone that's dedicated to learning and you don't waste your time and you stay out of trouble then wonderful you have the right to learn and be supported by others but if you're going to get into trouble then keep working adds a third reason why God gave us the requirement to do his it's a it's a opportunity to test us it's a fertile ground for n you're in business are you going to deal honestly in business are you going to charge interest are you going to lie are you going to cheat are you going to deceive you're planting are you going to put wool are you going to put um different crops together Kim are you going to plow with a cow and and a a a uh a donkey there's many many laws that would not be able to be uh fulfilled and theyd have no opportunity to do them without working so not that work is necessary but for the above three reasons we have to work number one it's a punishment number two we have to stay busy to keep out of sin and number three it's our opportunity for tests to see if we'll keep the Torah and mitvah have a wonderful day
