It'd be nice if we were all more like the "blind man" of the Gospels.
When the Pharisees came to him they asked- "Who made you see? Was this man a sinner?
The blind man responded-
"I don't know whether he was a sinner or not, but all I know is this...is that at one time I was blind, and now I can see."
The Pharisees were judging Jesus on what Religious people do now with others- judging them on sinner or saint. The blind man had no idea if Jesus was good or bad, but Jesus healed him. The blind man then said- "Now I can see!".
The blind man saw beyond duality, whereas the Pharisees and religious folk always see duality. To the social world of right and wrong- Jesus was a sinner, a blasphemer, a law-breaker, a non-religious person, a Nature dweller, a witch, an outsider. But the blind man didn't see saint nor sinner, all he saw was a Man who made him see!
There is great power in that story. I believe it truly happened. But for the benefit of a higher understanding. That we are all right and wrong, good and bad, saint and sinner, while we live under in this world.
Stop Judging everyone!

I am Torah observant and as you know Torah points out sin, and well...you figure out the rest.

What am I suppose to figure out?
I thought we weren't suppose to use our God-given human mind.
Enlighten us Scattered Sheep. God didn't give us a brain to figure things out on our own.
You are the Torah expert. Tell us, what is sin?

That is the Ruach's job, I point to Torah. Torah point's you to sin, and so you have it.

The funny thing is that religious people seem to need a list of commandments to know what to do and not what to do, where as the normal folks know that you shouldn't kill, or steal, like its called intelligence .

The books were not written to guide the saved. They were written to offer the unholy a different path and reality.
