Snowball effect of sins (12 minutes)

[Music] in chapter 31 verse one Hashem spoke to Moses saying take Vengeance for the children of Israel against the midianites afterward you will be gathered unto your people meaning Moses is going to die after this which we'll go over in a second hasem is telling Moses tell the people go take revenge against the midianites why take revenge against the Mion nights because these are the very same people that caused am is to sin and led to a point where we lost 24,000 of our men they sent their immodest women we fa for the test we failed miserably Hashem brought a plague That was supposed to Shalom destroyed the entire nation not just the 24,000 hasem decided destroy the entire nation but P's act save the nation but even though it saved him and he didn't kill any more people it still killed 24,000 people so hasem says go take the entire nation and go take revenge and the reason why is because according to the mishna the one that makes a person sin is worse than somebody who kills him it's worse to make somebody sin than to kill him according to the Torah why logically this doesn't make sense to us rationally it doesn't make sense to us if one of the campaign people that people keep talking about Donald Trump and Hill Hillary Clinton and I don't know whoever else is in is running or walking or whatever they're doing over there if one of them says Listen by the way all you Sinners are going to G on because you're not modest throw them out you tell all all you people that are all these newscasters are causing people to sin it's worse than murderers I say this guy needs to go to a mental institution doesn't make any sense to us but obviously if Hashem said it then it make sense how does it make sense when we realize the significance of a sin the only way for a person to realize what it is to be close to Hashem is once he starts realizing the significance of a sin according to thear it says that each time a person sins he creates shedim he creates demons and those demons are going to affect him how are they going to affect him they're going to cause them to want to sin even more because they get more power when someone what is this like when someone is for example hanging out by thems most likely as a young kid they're not going to do anything bad yeah do a few things to get attention here and there but overall little kids don't do anything really really bad bys but if you have them hang out with another bad kid most likely going to start doing stupid things if you have them hang out with a group of losers all they they do is smoke pot steal things and beat people up for fun you're guaranteed that your son is going to become a complete loser guaranteed there's no no no no there's no Second Chance guaranteed the kid becomes a loser I actually had a friend when I was young which I can't believe it's that many years ago but uh nice kid really really nice kid moved from Brooklyn to St now where we were living at the time and I remember in like Junior High School we used to compete who gets higher scores on a test smart kid and you know it's I try to be smart and we uh we'd compete he'd get a 90 I'd get 91 I'd get you know 90 get you know compete that was competition but then once we went to high school he started becoming friends with the uh the uh neighborhood losers the kids that all day all night night all they did was beat up people anyone that looked at them the wrong way they'd slap him they beat him up they'd break things over their head gangsters but young gangsters and he started hanging out with them and if you see what happened to him over the next couple of years he became worse than all of them worse than all of them eventually I think became somewhat normal but it took many years of beating up people and realizing that it's complete nonsense meaning that if your son or your daughter is going to hang out with bad people you guaranteed to have bad results the same exact thing goes with sins if you go to the movies if you watch TV if you go to the beach if you go to the bar if you do all of the things that you're not supposed to do you guarantee to sin as a matter of fact says another guarantee to sin is if you get to a point where you're bored boredom leads to sin it's Proverbs it's actual verse in the tah says boredom leads to sin meaning you sit there do nothing all day like oh I'm not I'm not hanging out next to bad people how could that boredom leads to sin whether it's wasting seed for men or other stupidity or other things for women either way boredom leads to sin once somebody sins one sin leads to another sin not because we want the sin but because now that we had in the beginning we were by ourself after we sinned we created a demon maybe a few maybe a million depend depends on what kind of sin now we have influence we have influence of 10 demons we created we have 10 losers trying to influence us to smoke pots for the first time much more likely to do it than when you only had one guy trying to convince you so then the guy smokes and now he created more sins now he's friendly with more people now since now he's he's popular now he smokes pot now he's friends with 50 losers next thing you know he's going to pot parties so now if he's going to pot parties what you what's going to happen now now he's going to start making his own pot party so now he's friends with 500 people couple years move on he advances in a loser world he starts selling pot and everyone knows the of it gets addicted to more drugs gets addicted to more drugs gets addicted to that disgusting lifestyle eventually gets involved with gangsters murderers and rapists has them all on his speed dial on his telephone and this is why anyone that asks me about uh the this uh how unfortunately Pat became a legal business in certain parts of America and anyone that asks me about it uh which has unfortunately been often it's not allowed unless you're specifically giving it to sick people sick people they have HIV they have cancer they have some type of terminal disease yes but the reality of it is most people that buy it at the store are not sick they're addicted but they're not sick they just found a way to get a card they found some criminal doctor to give them a prescription and uh and that's what happens so they they have an excuse to do something stupid legally this is the same concept with our sins the guy only started with one bad friend and next thing you know he's a uh drug lord in Colombia shipping cocaine from uh shift to shift from coast to coast how do it start it start one sin so by the time one day he wants to do cha it's not that easy it's not that easy to do chuva when you're married to a Goya you have three kids that are actually according to the tah not considered your own even though biologically they're yours according to the Torah they're not yours if they convert they're even all more so not yours so much show that according to the Torah you're allowed to marry them if you want kazal says you're not allowed because it would look weird to the rest of the people that don't understand to but when someone has a daughter with a non-jew and she grows up eventually she's 20 years old he was let's say had her when he was 20 she was born when he was 20 he gets to 40 years old the girl grows up to 20 and she decides to convert to Judaism he's actually allowed to marry according to the according to but says you're not allowed why because people would think we're sick why because according to hem he sees us as Spirits he doesn't see us as human flesh he sees us as the all of us point being is that once some guy has been making sin after sin after sin after sin after sin for so many years he's now 50 60 years old he's married to a non-jew or she's married to a non you with several kids and finally discovers the truth it's not that easy to do Chua it's not that easy it's still possible but it's not that easy this is why all of you are relatively young bem you have to understand this is your shot heard if you wait you lose you lose you lose more and more each time each time you wait each time you have an opportunity to do real chv you don't take it you lose a significant amount of help from sham and you end up also aside from losing the help you go back to sinning so you're creating more shim you're creating more demons you're creating more of a negative influence in your life to do more bad things which is going to make it more difficult for you to get rid of them even if the guy wants to do cha that's hanging out with the 250 losers going tell by the way guys I'm going to go to instead it's a hard change yes it's happened before and it's happening regular you know all the time but it's one here one there not everybody's doing it all want it's hard why because they're used to it they're used to that lifestyle you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by Torah
