[Music] question is if hasm didn't want Adar to eat from the Tree of knowledge why don't he just hide it so it's the same thing you could ask about if hasem doesn't want you to sit why he just make you with no evil inclination and you won't have a desire to sin so the the question has to uh it's it's really a non-starter question because it assumes it assumes that if hem allowed Adam to sin that means he wanted him to sin which is Heretics say that Heretics say now I'm not saying that you're a heretic saying Heretics say that ifem you know allowed to that means he wanted it that's what man Freedman says by the way which means why why do why the Heretics say it because they say ifem wanted them to if he want which means that if I'm sinning hem wants me to sin if it mean if I have a boyriend I'm a guy that mean wants me to sin if I I'm eating that mean wants me to eat no it's a heretical thought that's going inside so AEM created human beings after he created he created they were in essence all of us were perfect but we since we are in essence a part of hasem we're part of hasem not that hem has part but it's for understanding of our ear to we need to say this way we're part of hasem and because he is the ultimate good and the way you know if something is good is by it creating good our also wanted to create good but what good can we create for hem he's the ultimate good he's perfect we can't give him anything so the Nish felt like they were getting a undeserved prize free bread and we didn't want it we were suffering as a result of this undeserved bread undeserved reward so we asked theem to please give us an opportunity to earn it so the whole purpose of a Nama coming into the world of this world is that it's supposed to earn its bread earn its keep that's the point your whole job in this world is to earn your keep now when we came to this world how do if if we did not have a evil inclination a desire to sin and we only wanted to do the will of hasem then there was no point to the world why because the whole point of the world is for us to earn our way how do we earn our way by choosing AEM despite having an enticing Choice that's the opposite of hm's will if we choose AEM because that's the only choice we have then it doesn't deserve a reward because it's the only deser it's the only thing it has if you tell your wife oh honey you're the best cook but that's because the only thing you have in the entire house is rice and that's what you cooked that's not exactly a compliment the only thing you have in the house is rice she happened to cook it yeah sure you could say good rice but it's not really a compliment but if she has 87 uh different uh uh uh you know ingredients in the house and and she made you a dish that's delicious guess what new compliment that deserves a compliment why because she could have made something that tasted not exactly like that so the point being is that when a person has two choices one is good one is evil and he chooses evil he deserves punishment for that evil why because he chose evil that's against theem when he chooses good he deserves good why because he chose good why is good deserve a prize why does evil deserve a prize because in essence they're both enticing they're both enticing ing it's just that they're enticing in different ways the good is enticing down the road if you have a long-term mentality the bad is enticing today today it's enticing not down the road down the road you don't even think about down the road created men with the ability to choose so in order to reward and in essence reward the rest of us he gave us choice you can choose to do good meaning the will of hem or you could choose to do something that's against hashem's will if you do hashem's will that's considered good thereby you are earning your good you're earning your keep if you choose bad then you're not earning your keep and you'll get punished for it so AEM allowed to choose because that's in essence the purpose of creation the whole purpose of creation is to allow us to earn our keep if he uh it's not that he wanted him to sin but rather he allowed him to sin he allowed him to sin by making his own choice it's not that he wants us to sin he allows us to sin allows us to sin because if he did not allow us to choice to to sin then it would be a fixed game there would be no we would be robots you know robot that does exactly what the robot is supposed to do doesn't get a reward for it if you press the button on your robot that's vacuum cleaner and it vacuums the whole house you don't start clapping to the oh what a great robot you go robot you don't do that you don't do that there's nothing why it's a robot it's programmed to vacuum it's programmed to do certain things who do you reward who do you clap for someone that's programmed perhaps even to do the opposite and it ends up doing it ends up overcoming something so that's that's the that's the key it's a it's a aem's will is for us to choose life and the good but he allows us to choose death and the evil death and the evil uh we and we should choose life as it says in several we're very excited to offer you the
